Try It Thursday

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a wonderful Thursday! Only one more day left in the work week woot, woot! Before I get in to the new workout class I tried today I want to talk about yesterday's workout.

Yesterday morning it was rainy and messy where I live. Definitely one of those stay in bed kind of days. All day yesterday I just felt exhausted and couldn't really get awake. 

This pretty much sums up how I felt

I decided to skip working out at lunch because I was just too tired. I told myself I will just do it when I get off work. Well I got off work and I just did not want to workout. I just didn't have it in me and dreaded getting on the treadmill  It was still raining outside so I couldn't do my run outside which bummed me out. After complaining to myself for a few minutes I thought it was time to suck it up and head to the gym. So I did just that. I did a 10min warm up on the stationary bike and then headed over to the dreadmill.  Let me tell you, it was U-G-L-Y!! I got in about 3.1 miles, but they were very slow miles. I was just dragging and didn't have the energy to really push it. A complete turn around from how I felt the day before. Not to mention my heartburn was outrageous and I felt like every time I exhaled fire was going to come out of my mouth. Even though I did not want to workout and it wasn't pretty, I still did it.  There are days you won't feel like working out and it will seem like a chore, but don't let those feelings take over. Just go out there and do it. Its not always going to be your greatest workout, but at least you got your butt out there and sweated! 

You will NEVER regret a workout!

Now on to something a little more fun! Today is Try it Thursday, if you are following the Tone It Up January calendar(you can find that here). I have a gym where I work so I can go on my lunch break, its just right across the street.  At the beginning of the month they added some new classes. I was really excited about this because I like to try new things. Today I tried a class called Fit Ball. It was a really good workout and the time flew by! I just love when that happens. I can't stand when I do a workout and I can't stop clock watching. Ok back to fit ball, the whole workout involved an exercise ball. When I got to the class the instructor told us to grab a ball, mat and a couple sets of weights. We used the ball to do squats, planks, push- ups, bicep curls, lunges and many more. The instructor described it as a full body workout that will also engage your core. It did exactly what she said and afterwards I was a sweaty mess. Don't worry I showered before going back to work! :) Overall I really enjoyed the class and will definitely go back.  Below is a picture of my gym. I have to say I am so grateful that the company I work has provided this gym for all employees!
