So it has been about two and a half weeks since the Mudder and I have officially done NOTHING in the way of exercise or activity. Literally nothing. At first I was blaming it on "healing time" - seeing as I was so sore I couldn't even blink without feeling the pain radiate down my body. Then Hurricane Sandy hit and the gym was closed for a week. No power. No heat. No nuthin'. With that, I was off of school for the week, lounging around being a lazy bum, and to be honest, fitness was the last thing on my mind. Instead, I ate my face off out of boredom. And now I have a wicked cold that has moved into my chest and just breathing while sitting is difficult.
Let me explain, I am trying not to sound like a pathetic complainer. I am just stating that I am clearly in a slump and now, without the motivation of the Mudder to get me to move my ass, I am going to need to find something new to get me moving. Tri season is over. The Mudder is behind me and now I need a new fitness endeavor. Any ideas??
I want to swim, but the nearest aquatic center charges an arm and a leg for membership... no seriously, it's ridiculous! And to pay for that on top of my gym membership is a little crazy. Plus it's not very close. So instead, I think that I really want to find one of those boot camp programs to try. I have several friends who have done it and are addicted! They are stronger than they've ever been. Motivated. Energetic. And, best of all, excited about working out! Let me tell you, I would LOVE to get excited about working out... so we'll see what I can find. The other thing I was thinking was one of those "Turbo Fire" or "Insanity" workout video systems, but I have a feeling that it would end up functioning as a coaster instead of in my DVD player, so that might not work out. Anyone got any good ideas??
