Taking that work out to the next level???

How do you take your work out to the next level?? Is the question that fellow TEAM BLUE member Jeremy and I were discussing while we were working out last night. Side note before I continue with my answer to this question. I am so proud of the other TEAM BLUE Members that I saw working-out last night!!! 5 out of 10 team members were there when I was there!! SO GREAT JOB GUYS!!



Now back to the answer that I came up with.. It's one thing to just take part in the group training sessions and do what is asked of us at a nice weight without really pushing ourselves to go to that next level. I am completely guilty of taking the lighter weight instead of the weight that I should be at... Or not doing those few extra jumping jacks or pushups which I know that my body can do but my mind is telling me that I don't have to do them because everyone else isn't doing them so why do I have to do them why should I work out harder than everyone else. This is why I should go that extra mile.. Because I am in control for how much weight that I lose and no one else.. And if I want to reach my goal than I have to go that extra mile...


Now that this is been going on for a couple weeks I am beginning to figure out that if I want to accomplish my weight loss goal than I have to have the confidence and trust myself to go to that extra step. Let's be honest I know that it's going to be harder to do the other exercises that are coming down the line and the idea of being really tight the next day but for me at least I need to get that out of my head and focus just on the exercises one at a time and not look ahead.. We are in charge of achieving our goals not the trainers.. They are there to help guide us to reach that goal but it is our selves that really have to commit and go to that next level in order to achieve our goals.


Starting tonight during my group workout I am going to take the heavier weight and go faster and longer on the other exercises.. Because I know that I can do it.. Now I am challenging anyone who is reading this too take your workout to the next level by bumping up the weight/ resistance on the exercises, going faster and longer on those jumping jacks and pushups or whatever you may be doing... Just believe in yourself!! Good Luck to all the teams!!


GO BLUE!!!
