Fit & Fab Friday!
It has been a long week of sweating 30 minutes a day, every day that actually started Sunday! Yes, I went to the gym on Sunday! & I wasn’t alone…Max accompanied me to his first cycling class! That’s right; I got Max to go to spin with me, none the less, on a Sunday! Max has never been to a cycling class & didn’t know what was in store for him but somehow I got him to tag along.
Max & I cleaned all day Saturday & went out Saturday night, so I honestly wasn’t expecting him to actually be awake. The deal was if he was awake he would go…NO ALARMS. Well, our new apartment gets amazing sunlight, so we were up. It took a lot to get him out of bed; while I was getting ready I just kept talking to him so he couldn’t fall back asleep. There was a lot of complaining (he was hung over) & a lot of excuses.
Clearly Max & I need new sneakers…AHA!
Eventually, after trying to help him find something to wear that wasn’t a pair of jeans & crocks, I gave up & said: “I’ll just go by myself!” Apparently, complaining is his way of “talking himself through something he doesn’t want to do” & was ready to go in 3 seconds.
The whole way there he kept saying, “I’m leaving if there are a lot of people.” “I’m waiting in the car.” “I’ll sit on the bench & watch.” “I’ll do 10 minutes & I’m done.”
Well, at 5 minutes I thought he was going to leave, 15 minutes he said he was leaving, at 20 minutes I told him 1 more song & after almost 4 more songs, he made it through 30 full minutes of “torture” & he got up! I followed him out & realized he never brought a water bottle because he thought it was “just riding a bike.” So I gave him mine & we went to brunch & Whole Foods & didn’t leave the apartment for the rest of the day!
I asked if he wanted to do this every Sunday & I’ve come to the conclusion that cycling is not Max’s thing. He’s never going back & he didn’t finish the class but he tried it & I’m proud!
The point of this story is to try something new when it comes to your workout. You may like it or you may not but you’ll never know if you don’t try! You could end up finding your new favorite workout!
Now, I’ve completed my morning workout & need to get ready for work!
Happy Friday!
That’s all…xxTay!
