Going all out for one minute isn't as easy to do as it is to write, which is why we dig our own holes in our own way: no one should follow leaders who sit back, count reps, and sip energy drinks to keep them awake. Someone asked how people here stay so motivated to work hard. It's expected - from everyone, from the newest newbie to the original players ... it simply doesn't work any other way. And shouldn't.
I have to ask myself; am I living it? Am I worthy of being followed? Is asking these questions about myself a sign of weakness? Self-doubt? Or a legit gut check?
Today's workout was supposed to be "Angie"
100 Pull Ups
100 push ups
100 sit ups
100 squats
I didn't warm up, I dragged myself into the gym today to do this damn workout with no motivation in the tank. I feel so tired, is it real or is it lazy? I did 25 pull ups and stopped. Tried to talk myself into finishing...I gave into the "negotiations." I did 25 push ups, 25 sit ups, 25 squats...then I stopped. My head was down, no pride. No reason to be proud.
I took a few minutes to gather myself and saw the workout the group class is doing today. 15 calories on the concept 2, then 15 burpees for 4 rounds. Most people were finishing in 8 min. I think I finished in 7. Not sure what that means either. I might have only done 3 rounds, I kind of lost myself focusing on only the moment.
After a few minutes I saw the sandbag that I left in the middle of the floor this morning and decided to put together a little interval of 3 min work, 3 min rest, for 3 rounds.
1. Sand Bag Cleans
2. Sand Bag/KB carry
3. bear crawl
rest 3 min.
3 rounds
So the day ended up looking like this:
AM Session:
75# sled drag2x
60# sandbag + 75# sled drag 2x
1-arm OH 53# KB + 75# sled 2x
Crossover Carry (53# kb/70#kb) + 75# sled
PM:
25 Pull up
25 push up
25 sit up
25 squat
Then:
15 calories
15 burpees
3 Rounds
Then:
10 Sandbag clean and jerk 60#
60# Sandbag + 70# KB carry 2x
bear crawl 2x
rest 3 min.
3 rounds
