Overall, I'm happy with how August went, but I'm really struggling to find motivation to do anything these days. Something is better than nothing, I suppose.

*Our local healthcare group does free 15-minute stretch classes via Zoom three times a week. Come join us! It's free! It's fun! We talk about food in the chat almost every time! You don't ever have to be on camera. You have to register, but there's no cost.
Looks like a decent account, NGS. I've been struggling to find time for exercise since school started... I too should remind myself that something is better than absolutely nothing, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteIt was a decent amount. It's just that a lot of times I was just doing the motions and not really getting the most out of it, particularly with yoga. I sometimes feel if I don't immediately drop in to focusing on breath and movement, I have failed at it and probably shouldn't have bothered. LOL. That's obviously not true, but I really haven't been feeling it. I'll just keep on doing it, though.
DeleteYou're struggling to find motivation? I think you did great! You had a nice mix of strength, cardio and yoga/stretching. Those CG workouts are no joke (I hate the one with all those hip thrusts too.) I say, keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteI endeavor to be as consistent as you and San!
DeleteRoutine > motivaton, my friend. That's what always keeps me going.
ReplyDeleteYep. You just gotta do it. Nike was right all along.
