Last week I started back at the gym and this time I’m serious. I set myself up with a personal trainer. The workouts are hard but I’m loving it. I’m being pushed in ways I never would have thought. As well, I’m joining classes like Hot Yoga and looking forward StreetDance next.
When your working out to your limit, your body always tells you to give up. You know you have to push through, because every time you break that barrier, the real workout begins.
When it gets hard, I have a quote that goes through my head from a video I’ve posted twice on this blog.
“Don’t cry to give up, cry to keep going. You’re already in pain, get a reward from it.”
I keep this in my head every time. I find it so empowering and motivational. When it hurts and I want to stop, this is what I think of to push on. My reward is to get that body I’ve always wanted and know I deserve.
What quotes do you keep in mind when things get tough?
‘Till I Collapse and Soldier by Eminem keep me going when I’m at the gym. And Eye of the Tiger is a classic!
Eye of the Tiger is too obvious lol
Much respect on Till I Collapse … didn’t see that coming and I’m impressed!
