In an effort to mix things up and wake up my excitement about working out again, I tried a new gym. It was still a CF gym but closer to work and allowed me to break up my day with a new routine. It was nice to see how other CF'ers workout and how the environment was different than what I am used to. All-in-all, I was not all that impressed with the experience. No one was there and the passion was missing for me that I get out of my other gym. Part of that was there was only one other person in the boot camp style class and I like to feed off of others there to push myself. Since this other person was brand new, I had to rely on myself which is not my strong suit.
What I really wanted to find out was if mixing up my routine would A) lead me to join this new gym and rekindle my passion for this or B) I would realize I have a great gym and really need to use it more. Right now, I feel I just need to get into my current gym more and push past the hurdles that I am putting up. That last sentence could not be more true. I am putting up hurdles for myself. No one else is telling me I cannot do it or that I don't have time. The toughest part is getting there and once I do, I feel the passion everyone else has and feed off of that until we get started. I just need to get my butt out of bed and get it done. The framed art next to my bed that says, "Wake Up and Be Awesome" needs to be a mantra and not just framed art next to my bed.
