in Fitness and Exercise
I am almost done with "the new rules of lifting for women" ,just one more week.

My fitness confession is that I still suck at push ups. I can do 5 proper one but I still have to do them at an small incline if I want to do more.

I am ashamed

Now you!!!

    I HATE burpee's (in any way, shape or form) with a passion.

    I confess that I have no idea what a burpee is but it makes me laugh every time I read it.

    I haven't worked out my abs in well over a month. I thought about it today, for like 5 seconds but didn't.

    My confession: I like to flex in the mirror after I lift. It's super narcissistic & cheesy, but it makes me smile.

    I find Cardio so boring that any more than 30 minutes at a time can make me suicidal. Sports make it bearable, but otherwise it is just mind-numbing to me.

    my confession: On the weekends, I put on my yoga pants and a sports bra because it makes me feel skinnier

    I spend entirely too much time checking out my body in panties and bra. Both admiring how much I have lost and picking out the flaws.

    Confession 1: I only take 1-2 rest days a month, and that's usually because something out of my control causes me to miss my workout.

    Confession 2: I would do nothing but cardio if common sense didn't force me in the weight room 2-3 days a week.

    (and yes... I know no one is actually forcing me to lift. I do it of my own free will, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it! I just like what it does for my body.)

    I regularly, accidentally-on-purpose forget to do pull-ups in my weight routine every week.

    I know, I'm a terrible person.

    Now I don't feel so bad...only a few weeks in to NROL4W and I can only do one proper pushup! My upper body strength pretty much sucks at the moment. :grumble:

    I enjoy passing gas when doing sit-ups.

    I lip sync in the mirror on the treadmill, and have been known to sing out loud when I'm the only one there.
    And I definitely sing out loud when I run outside, mostly when I'm out in the country or alone on the trail. I can't help being moved by a song!!!

    My Mary-Jane Shape-Up Skechers look like granny shoes (or "special shoes" a co-worker did suggest Forrest Gump and when I got up to walk to the printer he yelled "Run Heather RUN!" ha ha!) but I adore them (it's like walking on pillows) and power walk through the Financial District of Toronto every lunch hour not caring that no one <60 years old wears anything other than a 3+ inch heal.

    I only workout on the treadmill and have been like that since coming back from our Christmas cruise in December.

    Nobody [until now] knows that I go to the gym every day so I can train for a triathalon and I only do it so I can say that I'm a tri-ATHLETE!
