Good to see you again, I hope you're enjoying this amazing weather!

Workout of the Week
I found this WOW on Pinterest and decided to try it out at home. This workout is designed to get the heart rate up, burn 100 calories, and build stamina. I found it looked a bit too silly to try at the rec, but it definitely had me breaking a sweat. I had to clarify how to do long jumps here. Give it a try!

On Monday I decided to try running a couple laps on the outdoor track...which brings me to my:

Most embarrassing moment of my week in fitness:

Running on the track for my first time should not have been a feat I tackled alone. I took off at a jog, and actually passed the first jogger in less than a minute, then came the second and the third. By the time I had passed everyone twice, the lightbulb in my head brightened revealing why I had been receiving irritated looks every time I flew past a fellow runner. I was running in the wrong direction. Suddenly the arrow markers pointing toward me as I approached them seemed extremely accusative of my stupidity. I guess I had ignored the whole "Start/Finish line" and just took off going clockwise. Needless to say, as soon as I turned and ran in the other direction, I was passed by every other runner on the track.

Something I learned this week:

Although there is no "best time of the day" to exercise, many choose morning to keep them motivated. As the day progresses, excuses tend to come up and exercise can be skipped altogether. The best time of the day to workout is a whatever time you'll actually do it.

I'm very excited for next week's post because I'll be writing my first review on an SSU InMotion class. Here's a hint to which one I'm attending first: 

What does a dyslexic cow say?

Make your guesses in a comment. Till next week, get outside and be active!
