Change it up!!!!

Sometimes I find it hard to stick with the same workout (or type) day after day after day after day. I have some sort of inability to keep it going WELL enough where I get something out of it. I lose motivation and drive when it gets monotonous. Not only does my mind get bored, my body does, too. The point where the workouts get too easy or I feel like I could do the workout without the video, that is the point where I need to change it up.

I have listed in previous posts the various things I do to workout. Sometimes, it is just as simple as swapping out an evening workout with a nice long and brisk walk. I feel like I'm doing my body a favor by using different muscles and letting the ones I continuously use, take a break.

I have been having trouble with my abs. I have never had this much trouble before, using and strengthening and actually feeling sore from ab work. I can only pinpoint the issue to one thing and that would be the c-section. TurboFire has a couple of different abdominal and core workouts that I do, but even if I do them slowly and at my own pace, I hardly feel anything except for when I am actually doing it and I am swearing and whisper screaming. (This is when Brett is hollering down the stairs, "you okay, honey?!" I reply, "yeah! Abs." He responds, "Okay. Well, don't hurt yourself!") So, I am going to change it up and see if other ab workouts that I own can do the trick. I'm weird like that where I NEED to feel sore in my abs to know it is working. Otherwise, I could be using my back muscles and with have a nice Quasimodo hump before I know it. So, I'm going to go back to START SMALL and see what I can do.

I'm already contemplating my next move after TurboFire and I really want to do Insanity. I have built up the confidence to tackle what I used to believe was impossible for me. Then, I also think about bumping it up to the advanced TurboFire or adding ChaLean Extreme and mixing that in with TurboFire. Orrrr going for another round of TurboFire because I now know what to expect. Or even reuniting with Billy and his newer TaeBo series. Reunited and it feels so good!!! I go back and forth and really don't know what to do. I've got a few more weeks before a decision has to be made and if I need to contact my BeachBody Rep or what I'm going to do. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

If I choose something other than TurboFire, I will be back to START SMALL again. I'm okay with that. All of this is now just a part of my life and how I roll that it just feels natural now.

Signing off for now, to all of you near and far and to those of you trying to get that "reunited" song out of your head, until next time...
