This morning I did:
Caroline Girvan - 5 Min Full Body Warm Up with Caroline Girvan
Followed by her:
IRON Series 30 Min Superset Arms, Abs and Core Workout | 20
And then, because the cool-down stretches were too short for my liking, I did:
Daniela Suarez - 7 MIN STRETCHING EXERCISES AFTER WORKOUT (New) | FULL BODY COOL DOWN FOR RELAXATION & FLEXIBILITY
I mostly used my 5kg weights, but alternated on just a few of the moves. Found the push-ups and planks quite harsh so did some on knees and used a resistance band for help as well.
Something interesting I watched yesterday gave me lots of food for thought:
RESPIRE - Neuroscientist: "This Simple Skill Will Keep You Motivated" | Andrew Huberman
So I was trying to enjoy the workout focusing on the effort itself, rather than an end reward. I never do usually anyway. But, during the workout I knew I would really enjoy the hot shower afterwards too. Maybe the shower is part of the 'work/effort' process though - and not the reward at the end. If I didn't put the work in I'd just have a normal shower instead of a really satisfying one where I feel like I started my day off the right way. And I think some of my reward would be when I look at myself in the mirror again and see a difference with my muffin-top or bat-wings.
Anyhoo, then we've had some good weather today so went for an hour long walk in the park with hubby. I'll walk to work this evening too and for the rest of the week as well.
So, the plan is to do another workout on Friday morning, and perhaps this time a full-body one.
Happy Wednesday all! Two months to Christmas. xxx
