"BEFORE"Â
"BEFORE"Â
In the struggles of life it sometimes becomes clear who we are underneath it all, the mental clarity is valuable to me, otherwise I tend to loose sight of myself, drown out by all the noise.
"AFTER"
When making powerful habits it's good to have a plan with a: cue, routine and reward:
My Cue: 11 AM I would think about exercising, the workout takes half an hour, so starting around 11 gives me some flexibility to fall behind. I would basically shoot for 11 and end up at 11:30 or even 12.
My Routine: My routine is to decide how long I can workout for 0, 5, 10, 25 minutes and then do it. When I start out I don't usually go for 25 minutes, I plan for what I can do such as 5 or 10 and then end then.
My Rewards: I eat lunch after my workout, kind of like a reward, I give high fives to anyone around, or clap, I check off the day (I saved my workout calendar to the Google Keep App - a digital post it note system - that I could check off each day as I went with my favorite color check mark).
Thank you to Bethany Lyn for the calendar, she has meal plans other other workout review on her blog: THE FITNESS FOCUS
I wanted to quit after 5 minutes, and modified at 9 minutes, but never quit.
I wanted to quit at 20 minutes (but didn't need to modify, my mind is weaker than my body).
Wanted to quit from the start the first day (but I didn't).
Didn't want to quit, but sweating like a pig at 23 minutes in (okay not a pig, pigs can't sweat... like a person?).
VIDEOS PROVIDED FOR EDUCATIONAL USAGE ONLY:
These are my low res videos, if you enjoy trying out the workout consider getting the new work out (T20) or the high def videos. I think it's fair to be able to try a work out with a friend before deciding, but I can remove the videos if needed due to copyright please email sakurakaorimendoza@gmail.com directly to request removal.
