Struggling to get my Groove On

This was Monday morning. And it was a cloudy, dismal morning at that. I was tired and didn't have the energy I usually do. I had done about an hour and a half of cardio on Saturday, and had not gotten much sleep. I was feeling it, too. Brian had mentioned on Friday about our 2 day weekend we be taking off, and I thought, "No rest for the wicked". Two days off would make it tough on me on Monday. My body loses its momentum so quickly now that I'm older. Nothing comes easy anymore.

So as I participated in our circuit training, I was feeling like rubber. I was struggling to keep my groove on. Yet, we still got an excellent workout. We did several circuits of shoulders, triceps, biceps and intermittent cardio. I had to laugh because Brian always incorporates his famous triceps, and I must say he has quite a variety in his repertoire! (lol) : ) We did them with the resistant bands and they were killers! Moans and groans emanated from the camp!

I think a few of us struggled to maintain form, because, dang.....they were tough! But Brian was very attentive in making certain we would all get a quality workout. He watched closely and checked us on form, coached us to breathe properly as we handled the weight, and encouraged us to keep going! "Kick it up", I would hear Brian call out! That always works for me! : ) We all had the benefit of a one to one or small group personal training class, in addition to the camaraderie and support from our fellow campers. I love it! And of course the campsite is infused with great music!. Today was hip-hop, and even included one of my favs, Michael Jackson.

He also included a shoulder press. Oh my! I felt like a wet noodle. My body was not responding as I wanted.

Tomorrow is coming upon us fast. I'm going to get some first rate rest and see how I do in the morning. Its all part of the process.

Looking forward to catching up with you next time. : )
