In leui of my January fitness plan, some cardio was on the books for today. As much as I desperately wanted to run, it was about 4 degrees this morning. Yikes! Outdoor run = out the window. Thankfully I have access to small gym in my apartment complex, but I wasn't keen on an indoor run today. Ugh, how I loathe the dreadmill! I really just feel my best running outside. Running on the treadmill takes more coordination for me, something I don't have a lot of.Instead, I opted for a quick but tough elliptical workout.
What always keeps me motivated when working out indoors is music. A lot of my favorite songs came on today, helping me keep up the pace.
Soundtrack for Today
- "Toxic" - Britney Spears
- "Where the Streets have No Name" - U2
- "Dancing in the Dark" - DEV
- "Give It Up to Me" - Shakira
- "Vertigo" - U2
- "I'll Meet You There" - Owl City
- "Part of Me" - Katy Perry

| And done! |
Now I'm home the rest of day hopefully to get some to-do list items done and stay toasty!
- Question for you: How do you stay productive when it's cold and gloomy out?
I love song suggestions - thanks!
ReplyDeletethe elliptical is a huge challenge for me, that's a great workout!
Lately, I've just had to get up and go, even if the weather is less than stellar. I guess I need that cardio high desperately!! haha
You're welcome! I don't normally do elliptical workouts, so today's workout was definitely challenging for me.
DeleteI think I need to implement a "just get up and go" attitude too. There really is no secret to being productive, is there?
Girl, you are inspiring! This is my first time on your blog but I love it! I'm no runner, I hate it actually... but I am motivated to change that! Blogs like yours are helping me realize it's possible!
ReplyDeleteAw, thank you sooo much, Angela! Trust me, I was no runner before either. Did you check out my fitness story? I elaborate more on all that there.
DeleteNow that I run, I truly believe it's possible for *anyone* to become a runner. I hope you give it a shot someday!
