Today I wasn't in the mood. On those days I know I need to push myself. So I thought I'd go in a completely different route. I looked at Challenge de Jour and saw Country Heat. It's a country music line dancing inspired workout. I'm not a fan of dancing to get fit. Don't get me wrong, I thinks it's a totally effective way of getting in shape! Dancers are strong and fit! It's just I can't dance! And about 5 minutes into it, I was reminded of this!! I lost all motivation and started to feel like a failure. So instead of turning it off, I switched to Turbofire HIIT 15 - a workout I know I can do. I modified the jumping exercises but other than that, I nailed it! So now I know for sure, I'm not a dancer!!
The thing I love the most about Challenge de Jour is the chance to try. It has shown me more different types of workout exercises and has given me the opportunity to try them without making a huge commitment to one program. Over this last year of consciously making activity a priority, I've discovered what I like and what I do not like! I love walking, especially outside. I do not like running. I like HIIT, I do not jumping. I like weights. I do not like dancing. I like boxing/martial arts styled workouts. I do not like yoga. Minimum 15 minutes, maximum 40 minutes. And now I can search out these types of activities and keep up my activity this year.
