I haven’t really been working out lately. I mean, I’ve been
playing volleyball and I’ve been rock climbing, but it’s just not nearly the
same intensity that I was used to. I went to a group fitness class for the
first time in months last week, and I must have been the worst one there. I
couldn’t believe how quickly muscle gains are lost! Instead of doing weight
work yesterday, I decided to do some cardio. I almost wasn’t going to go
because I couldn’t fit in a whole hour, but then I remembered something Chris
Powell once told a group of us. It’s okay if you can’t workout for 10 hours a
day, it’s okay if you can’t workout for 1 hour a day, it’s okay if you can’t
workout for 30 minutes a day, if all you have is 5 minutes, then give your all for
those 5 minutes. I had 30 minutes, so I gave my all for those 30 minutes.
And it felt GREAT!
