How personal training got me hooked to working out again
There's one conclusion to all that's happened to me since January 5th: I'm hooked to working out again! Never thought I would actually get annoyed by the fact that my personal training got cancelled because our trainer got a flu or I suddenly had a work-thing during the evening. But yes, it happened...
These last couple of weeks I had been busy with everything but working out. An early-booked concert, a trip to Lisboa and a sick trainer, but in the end I got so restless I took a bootcamp- and a boxing class. This was kind of a miracle: I didn't even think about lying on my lovely couch all night, plus this bootcamp class was the easiest one I'd ever done so far. All because I got so much fitter and that makes me pretty proud of myself!
Our main goal during the last weeks was endurance and conditioning, taking care of fat burn and getting lean. I never did Crossfit training (in this case WOD’s) before, but I liked it! Its all about rehearsing a combination of two or three exercises as fast as possible. For example: 20 sit-ups, 20 burpies and 20 box-jumps for 10 minutes, counting 'rounds'. Although I love Mr. Boyfriend, we both got competitive which made us work even harder. I turned out to be faster but I did cheated a little: he did an extra push-up inbetween his burpies where I didn't ;)
Minor detail: when I stepped on the scale again, I gained 1,5 kilos. Although I know its because of muscle weight, there’s still this little voice in my head telling me I should’ve lost it… Could that be a girl thing or is it just me?
By the way: instead of red roses or a box of chocolates, my Valentine's present was a complete new sports outfit, how cool is that? New week, new outfit, new motivation… Let’s go! Follow my journey on Instagram!
