So, the pain part of this post is not actually related to the workout part of this post... I was at work yesterday, in the Plastic Surgeon's office that I sometimes help out in, and I was reading a paper as I was walking back to the check-in desk, and BAM! Slammed my shoulder (the tip of my shoulder, btw) straight into a metal doorframe. Can you say OW?! And better yet? I did it again TODAY! Not nearly as hard, but, OW! I already bruised the thing, So, yeah! It hurt! :(
So, I was going through my Instagram feed, and looking at everyone hitting the gym, and working out, and being awesome. Seriously, you all are. In the warmer weather, I was walking 1-3 mi. Saturday and Sunday mornings. It's not a lot, but, it's totally better than doing nothing. Well, last night, I decided to be awesome myself. I know that I need to get some type of exercise more than I do... especially since I work at a desk most of the day. So, I decided that I was literally just going to have a dance party in my living room. I found some awesome dance music on YouTube and started dancing. I have an awesome weight set
which I'm pretty sure I've shown before. But, anyways, I grabbed my 2# weights, and started working those as I danced/ran around the living room... until my daughter stole them from me. So, I grabbed my 3# weights, and she and I did a 45 min. cardio/dance workout. Honestly, it was awesome. I haven't had this much energy in a LONG time. And while I probably looked like an idiot (I REALLY can't dance), I was sweating, and moving. So was my daughter. These are family fitness goals. :D
Ideally, I'd love to get to the point where I could run a 5k... my knees aren't great, so, we'll see about the running thing. But for now, we'll shoot for 5 workouts a week. Daughter should be included in most of them, and she's so cute when she's doing it. She's running around giggling like crazy. She LOVES to dance and move. :D
Tonight, I jogged... slowly, but I jogged, for 63 minutes. I actually kind of lied. 5k is not my end goal... runDisney half-marathon is end goal. I just hope my knees can take it. Time will tell...
Time for a call out! I know you all are exercising. And who exercises in silence? No one. So, what do you listen to while you exercise? I don't care what genre it is, as long as I can dance to it! Give me your ideas/playlists! And: GO!
So, how are your fitness goals going so far this year? :)
