Day 1 - Aerosmith

I was so psyched to start my new motivational workouts with custom play lists. Today was day 1 and I pulled together some Aerosmith to kick it off. Overall rating (1-5), I give it a 4. Don't want to dole out too many 5's...but they came close. Nothing like "Back in the Saddle" to the 9 minutes of squats. Now, the Big 10 Inch was too funny (not sure I could pull that song off in a mixed crowd), but it made me smile. I had one too many songs and didn't get to hear Dream On during my Exhaulted Warrior and Yoga - that would have been the bomb.

Today's overall reflection: WORKOUT IN THE AM! I tell myself that all the time and everyone else, and it's true...if you put your workout off too late, you start running into time crunches and excuses. I know getting up early sucks, but in the long run, it's so worth it. I farted around all day, had an unexpected Doctor's appointment, then had to "hurry" to get my workout in. I did - so I'm proud - but tomorrow - I'm going to EAT THAT FROG first thing. What frog, you ask? Well, Eat That Frog is a time management book by Brian Tracy who's main point is a quote from Mark Twain that basically says "if you had to eat a frog first thing in the am, that probably would be the worst thing you'd do all day!". So, the point is: do the biggest, ugliest task first thing in the am and get it done! To me, this applies to my workout. I feel so much better when I workout in the am, even though I bitch, piss and moan as I get going.

Like Tony Horton said tonight on a Beachbody Coach's Motivational call: after you finish your workout, ask yourself, "How do I feel NOW versus before I started". Odds are you feel GREAT and glad you did it.
