Have you ever hit the point in your life when what you were doing in terms of fitness just wasn't cutting it anymore? We know that feeling. About a year and a half ago, I was sitting around with my neighbor, talking about what moms who are just about 40 talk about...our bodies and what we just hate about them. That doesn't sound great, does it? Well, it didn't to us either. We decided to do something about it.
Our first attempt at fitness was meeting for water aerobics in the neighbor's pool three mornings a week. We scoured pinterest and googled routines until we felt prepared. And you know what?? The next day, we were SORE! Oh, did we complain...but OH did it feel good! We were actually doing something good for ourselves!
Well, all summer we kicked, jumped and jogged in that pool. Then school began. We are all teachers, and we decided we could handle our morning workouts INSIDE at 5am, 3 days a week. And for starters, it was great. We tackled power90 and a little bit of Walk-away-the-pounds. We felt good!
But it wasn't enough.
There's a pin on pinterest I see all the time that says, "when you see results, it becomes an obsession." Well, right around February, it did for us. We decided 3 days wasn't cutting it. We picked a program...P90X lean...and a time... 4:45 (see, that's why we call our gym "GYM445") and 5 days, and we dug in.
Fast forward a whole year...we have done p90x (finishing up our second time through!), chalean extreme, insanity, just to name a few. We meet 5 mornings a week, rain, shine, snowdays...no excuses. We now are more comfortable in gym clothes than high heels, and we have forged a friendship along the way.
This blog will document our progress. It will keep us motivated, and it will share with the world that everyday changes do make a difference, and if we can do it, so can you!
