FREE WORKOUT BELOW SO STAY WITH ME!
My clock goes off every morning at 2:10am.
I'm a news reporter by morning/mid day and a fitness freak as soon as I get off work.
Meal prep, amino acids, protein shakes and protein bars are a mainstay in my duffle bag I carry with me in the live truck everyday. Stops me from making the mad dash to "SuperSize It." Alongside my flat iron, two make up bags and some other sundries… pretty much all the junk I think I need in the 10 hours I'm at work.
I say all that to say-- When I leave work-- I make it happen. Straight home to change clothes, right back out the door to walk the three blocks to the gym. Around 2:30pm. About 12 hours after the rooster crows for me, I'm in the gym, doing serious work. Ear buds in, music cranked, mean mug on, and let's not forget the pre-workout powder that's like freakin' jet fuel in a jar!
IT'S GO TIME WHEN I GET IN THERE. Doesn't matter how tired I am. Doesn't matter how much my boss was on my case. Doesn't matter if I can barely move from chasing the news all day. I'm on it.
BUT WHY? Because I can and excuses simply build mountains of nothingness!!!!!!
Everyday I hear people say, "I can lose weight whenever I want to." "I just don't have any extra time in the day to go the gym." "I get too sore when I workout." "I have to go pick up my kids."
BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!
Oh yea? What excuses will you give when you get sick? Diabetes? High Blood Pressure? Hypertension? Chronic Headaches? Arthritis? Doctors will tell you many of these can be prevented or slurred if you just did 30 minutes of physical activity a day!
So this is my mission, to get YOU moving! And if you're already a mover and a shaker-- these workouts are a great supplement on those days you can't hit the gym! Especially ahead of beach season ;)
GO BE GREAT!

Excuses do indeed build monuments of nothingness. Your determination is motivating. Yesterday, I was so tired and didn't feel like going to the gym after work, but I have set a goal to run a sub 2 hour half marathon. Going home to eat and sleep isn't going to get me there. Thanks for off day push up/sit ups ladder. I'm going to start doing those on my off days and when I travel. I may be the crazy woman doing push ups in the Sky Club on a long delay. Keep up the great work and I look forward to more workouts!
