Have you ever had a GREAT plan to get your morning workout in but then you wake up and feel like crap??? Not really sick or any valid excuse why you CAN'T workout other than you plain old just don't want to!!! 😂
Good news is that this happens to EVERYONE !! And If it doesn't happen to you...... you might be an Alien!! 👾
No SANE person feels like working out EVERYDAY or loves ALWAYS eating healthy!!! We ALL have bad days, weeks, months, etc... The difference, however, between Winners and Losers is that Winners make it happen even when we DON'T want to instead of just giving up or making excuses!! So let's just say that today was TOTALLY one of those days for me!! Fortunately for me, my hubby pointed out my Superhero Cape, which was just hanging by the door with no wind to help it fly.... And then I got my lazy butt up and got it done!!
Since I wasn't feeling it, I decided to mix it up a bit and instead of doing 3 sets of 15-20 of a few exercises.....I hit my upper body using TRX and did a bunch of different exercises (helps out a lot when you don't feel like counting and keeping track of sets). TRX, in case you didn't know, is suspension training system that using your own bodyweight and gravity to challenge your entire body and your core is its main target area!!! Your core has to be working the ENTIRE time to perform the movements correctly and prevent injury!! It is a KICK ASS workout for any age or fitness level and can be done ANYWHERE !! Most gyms have them but you can also buy your own for personal use at home or outside. It is great for improving core stability, muscular strength & endurance, and toning.😎
You are not gonna know what all these exercises are unless you are familiar with TRX, but I will list them and feel free to ask questions if needed.

Once I got started, I found my energy so once I was done with the TRX I went over to the Assisted Pull up Machine !!(Pictured below) Also one of my faves, especially if you want to do pull ups but can't (no judgement) or if you just want to work on your form and muscle activation.💪😃

Cardiovascular training was done on the Ellptical AMT for 30 minutes total so that gives me a grand total of Resistance Workout 170 reps + Cardio 100 reps = 270 reps for today's workout. I was soooo tired when I walked in but you better believe that I was energized when I left!!! So always remember that when it comes to reaching and maintaining your goals..... You Just gotta SHOW UP and the rest will take care of itself!!😉
