I’ve been in the habit of resting on the weekends for quite sometime. In fact I believe that I’ve developed a rather naughty habit of literally become lazy in the name of rest.
This past week I decided to try something a little different. I rested on Friday. Friday is usually my favorite workout day of the week because everyone tends to be a little less serious about it and there is a good chance that you’ll hear lyrics such as “apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur” or “my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard”. Just fun dance type music that creates a much lighter air. So giving up my Friday workout was a mind game for me but I did it.
On to Saturday. I was thinking of all the workouts my friends over at Cultfit publish everyday and decided to keep it fairly simple. I managed a short 16 ish minute workout of KB snatches, pull-ups and push-ups. That and the only activity related to fitness that I can coax the spousal unit into a 2.3 mile hilly walk. It was just what the doctor ordered. I felt great all day and didn’t veg in front of the tv set on HGTV.
Sunday was another scorcher, we’re seeing upper 90’s in the temps so I took my stand-up paddle board down to the water and decided that I would see if I could paddle board as far as I normally kayak. I managed it. I loved it. Being out there in the early morning just me, the water and nature. Talk about soothing to the soul.
I didn’t have a plan of what I was going to do regarding workouts, I just got busy doing. Some days that’s all it takes. There doesn’t have to be a grand well written plan. Just a willingness to do.
