There are days when I just want to give up. This morning, I was feeling moody. I was not excited for my workout and I wanted to go back to dream land. However, I remembered the endorphin rush that I experience after exercising. That motivated me enough to push and proceed with my agenda: to burn calories and dance, dance, dance!
My secret to a good workout is to channel all your energy to your routine. Do not quit! If you feel tired, drink water or just slow down your pace. You may also talk to your instructor or trainer about some concerns (my urgent concern when working out is my scoliosis). That way, he could modify the routine or circuit for you and make your routine more enjoyable and bearable.
Workouts feel fulfilling when I am able to execute the steps with ease. Doable steps should be balanced with challenging myself. In that case, I add a barre workout video when I get home. It keeps me on my toes and challenges my core. It also makes me toned. There are plenty of free barre videos online. My favorite YouTube personality for barre fitness is Jessica Smith. Go visit her channel and try her 12-minute barre workout video to jumpstart your routine.
My advice for those who do not feel like continuing their workouts is to begin with a routine that you like. Think of the endorphin rush that you will get afterwards. And lastly, just show up! You will always feel better after burning calories and bad vibes.
