So today was lower body day, and I was sooo undecided of what to do. I had all sorts of ideas. I wanted to do some more strength training exercises, some cardio, not Pilates this time; but it was taking too long to choose and get it done. I finally decided on the two squat challenges. I had another 10 min squat video planned too, but I ended up just doing these two. With warm up and cool this was a nice 30 min workout! Iāve never done these before, but I loved it! Iām feeling good getting back to the higher intensity things, and Iām having a lot of fun just using bodyweight to focus on being aware of what Iām doing, and āre-practiceā good form!
Today reminded me of what Kelli said about cherishing your body, and what it can do whenever you can do it. (I feel like I think of her vlog/blog, and what she said every time I workout now.) I never cared much about squats, but Iām loving doing them right now! (I mean, itās not that I didnāt care, but I guess I didnāt really think to appreciate doing them and being able to!) Lately Iāve been thinking about what I did before I got sick, and actually realizing how much I took for granted; or the things I was annoyed about that I couldnāt do, change ect. Iām like: āWow. I shouldāve been more thankful for (fill in the blank), because thatās actually really good what I was doing!ā I think being really sick, and hearing D&Kās story has really put things into perspective, and taught me things I didnāt know I needed to learn. Now, during my workouts lately Iām noticing that Iām so much more aware of what all I can do that I didnāt really pay attention to before, and itās really making me feel appreciative and content! (Iām feeling happy, canāt you tell?) šš
Anyway, sorry for another long post. I know Iāve mentioned this stuff before, but I just felt like sharing. #WorkoutCompletešForK&D
Oh, and if you want a sore butt, I did these 2 routines the other day and... I had a sore butt. And hamstrings. My chest and shoulders were really sore, too come to think of it. So yeah. Good videos. ššš»
