What I love about working out

The past three days (including today) were good workout days for me.

• Monday – First Timer Urban Rebounder workout + P.I.N.K. Fitness workout #7


• Tuesday – Basic Urban Rebounding workout (more about that later)


• Wednesday – P.I.N.K. Fitness workout #8 (I intended to also do the Basic Urban Rebounding workout but I mis-managed my time this morning. Besides, I have line dance rehearsal tonight so I’ll still be able to get some cardio today.)
  

About the Basic Urban Rebounding workout, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The moves were pretty much the same from the First Timer workout, only the beat was faster. I just couldn't keep up, so I bounced at my own pace. Hey, sometimes, that’s what you gotta do. The workout was shorter than I thought too and there was an abdominal workout at the end. Let me tell you, I hate lying on the floor to do ab workouts. You’d think that with all of the cushion I have that I’d be more comfortable, but it hurts and it’s very uncomfortable. My tailbone feels like it’s grinding into the floor and I can’t get the small of back to floor to save my life! However, doing ab work on the Urban Rebounder was very comfortable- - no stress on the back and I was fully supported. The workout was short and sweet but effective, my core was zipped up all day.

Now, what I love about working out is the physical changes you see. You know, things start to shrink, tighten, and lift. For instance, I stood in front of the mirror this morning and saw a scar. Why is that a big deal? Because previously I needed to turn slightly to the left, bend back and “slightly” lift a little flesh to see it. But this morning, it was like “hello, there!” Another thing….. my pooch is less poochy. If this is TMI for you, I don’t care. I’m just keeping it real and I know someone out there knows what I’m talking about.
