Workouts

New Years Resolution 2010: Workout more Diligently record workouts.

cimg1588

It took a little courage to put this goofy picture up…wonder why? ;) It was taken at the Grand Canyon in 2007 after I climbed down and up for 3 miles. The trip was during the hot summer and late in the afternoon. My goal is to go back someday when it’s cooler and earlier and trek even farther.

When it comes to working out, I’ve been fortunate enough to develop the discipline and motivation needed to get active consistently. The problem is, my consistency is not always effective. My goal for the next year is to experiment with new workouts and programs to take what I already know about exercise to a new level. I will be recording workouts on this page for my reference, and I hope you can get something out of it, too! Feel free to email or leave a comment with any questions.

    It’s so easy to just go through the motions and not make the most of a workout. I hope I’ll find some good tips here on taking it to a new level :-)

    It’s so easy to just go through the motions when you’re working out—it’s great that you’re trying to “take it to a new level” :-) I’ll look forward to reading!

    Good luck on the P90X!! I am starting a similar program also produce by BeachBody: ChaLEAN Extreme. Very similar but marketed more toward chicks! :)
    Stock up on heavy weights!!

      Brittany ~ Haha your comment reminded me of one of my professors who always dressed in t-shirts that had his students saying, “we’re going to the gun show!” :)

    Wow, you look like one of those girls everyone hates because she can go strapless and look fantastic!
