Something I've noticed - folks that can stick to these kickin' Beachbody workouts often have an outside fitness-y reason why they're doing them. I mean, yes, I can keep doing Insanity because I'm trying to get better at Insanity, but I might have an even more compelling "why" if it involves something beyond the workouts themselves.
Make sense?
I mean, I lost a good amount of weight before and have kept a decent chunk of it off, but really, my own vanity is not a compelling enough reason to eat well + exercise hard like I want to.
Anyway, I've never been an athlete. I'm much more of a slug, frankly. But I've been an at-home workout fan for years and years and years - back to high school after rehabbing my second hip injury. But, other than my four years of marching band, I've never been one for physical activity.
I'm thinking I need to find an outdoor activity. I'm a native Sandlapper (South Carolinian) so golf is always an option. One of the local parks has beginner rock climbing classes so I might need to explore those. I've also been interested in maybe pursuing a martial art. I was thinking of trying to run a marathon, but someone in a podcast said that your body responds to the stress of running a marathon the same way it responds to being hit by a truck. I may have to think about that goal a bit more.
Yes, I'm running the circuit of doing all the experimenting with extra-curriculars your average 8 year old does. But better late than never when it comes to keeping my fitness up.
