New workout adventure!

In the past few weeks I have managed to up my workouts to four times a week, which has basically been laying the groundwork for my upcoming intense 8-week TabataBootcamp, with Badass Fitness CEO Shannon Colavecchio! I will definitely be expanding my exercise comfort zone with this.  I am both excited and intimidated at the prospect of this. Lucky for me, I have worked out with some of these great people before and I know they are all supportive and able to offer encouragement while pushing to get the most of a workout at the same time. Another realization I had, if I am feeling a bit intimidated, possibly even slightly embarrassed, at the thought of getting weighed & measured for this training, well then, I probably made the right decision to sign up for it!

We all age, there’s no denying it, (well, unless you happen to be an immortal vampire or something J ), yet I see women everyday who look and feel better in their 40’s than they did in their 20’s. While there may be a lot of science behind what happens to the body as we age, I am a firm believer that half the battle is in the mind. There are plenty of ways to exercise around a good majority of ills, and I also happen to believe that exercise does help alleviate a lot of the ills we “acquire” as we age. I just want to find some balance and live to a ripe old age. I’ve never been an extremist and I’m not about to become one now, but I have found I can incorporate a lot of healthier options into my life without suffering or feeling deprived.

The countdown clock says just 4 days until bootcamp starts, then 8 weeks of getting healthier, stronger, and developing some new exercise habits. I feel confident I am embarking on an excellent adventure, looking forward to some positive results!
