Getting Hype

Timing is everything. Especially when it comes to deciding when to exercise. Let me start by stating that I am not necessarily a lazy person, however, I want to be. I want to be cool with just laying in bed or on the couch and watching tv all day while snacking on goodies. In an ideal life, that set up would be mighty fine with me. I don't necessarily LOVE being outside, I'm not outdoorsy if you will. But I've been known to go on a hike or two and I love the lake, kayaking, swimming, etc. The concept of running or walking is just boring. I've been doing the Couch to 5K, because I have to, right, but I don't LOVE it or anything. In order to trick myself into thinking exercise if fun, I am more of a group class girl. Classes like zumba, yoga and my most favorite as of late, my boxing class! I am NOT a morning person, so therefore I am left with doing the exercise piece after work. Which honestly is like THE LAST thing I want to do after 8+ hours of the grind. But you gotta do, what you gotta do!

So how do I get hype for class, how do I keep finding the motivation to press forward toward my goal of getting healthier??? Well, so glad you asked. First off, I picture this woman. Have I mentioned my obsession with the Bey? She just be workin' it. I strive to be fit enough, strong enough to spend 30 minutes in a squat position like a bad ass. Who wouldn't?

Next, while envisioning the before mentioned Bey, I suit up!

And then by some form of GROWN WOMAN MAGIC, I am embodied with DIVA status that just gets the blood pumping through my veins. I am then washed over with a tremendous sense of SUPERWOMAN-ness that allows me to conquer things like the 49-move Challenge Coin Combo! I was the first one in my Tier 2 class to do it! SO fun and gives me such a feeling of accomplishment!

How do you get hype for exercise when you don't wanna???

Bye for now.
