So today I spent 60 minutes on the elliptical, and it didn’t even feel like a workout. The girl next to me was chugging away on her elliptical just like I was, in fact I think she was doing the same program and the little twerp (and she actually was little…as in skinny…normal sized) was sweating up a storm. Now I sweat, I know I do, I sweat buckets when I run on the treadmill. But not on the elliptical. So here I am and I feel like a lazy fart because I’m not sweating. Doesn’t matter to me that I’m burning 400+ calories or I’ve done 4 miles, I feel lazy.
I don’t know why I feel like this because I know I’m going to get up at 8 tomorrow and head on over to take a zumba class, and I’ll probably do the same thing on sunday. Heck I spend 6-7 days a week at the gym or taking a class. So lazy, is nowhere near how you would describe me.
Maybe my workout needs a tune up. I’ve been saying how I want to start lifting again. Because as a kinesiology masters student, I know the importance of weight training. I just never feel like doing it. I’d rather beat myself up doing cardio. I have to keep telling myself that I’m going to be asking MS Patients to do resistance training, if they can do it, I surely should suck it up and do it. If the instructor obviously isn’t doing the plan (or more than the plan) that she’s giving you, why should you follow it.
Change…is essential for moving forward to a better you.
That’s it, I’m going to step up to the plate and throw in some weight training. Couldn’t hurt could it?

Oh you work with MS people? That’s awesome- my husband was just recently diagnosed with MS.
