I love this!!! Lets all learn to know, and LOVE, our own body!
Regardless of how intense the workout, if I start with my 'old mindset', I never see results. If you leave your workout thinking “I earned a frozen yogurt,” you should stop. I used to do that, no joke, after Stroller Strides. I passed Golden Spoon on my way home and it was unlimited toppings, so I told myself it balances out the fat free yogurt. NO. IT. DOESN'T. And these days, life is too hard to waste a workout. Anyone else agree with me on that???
Our bodies were designed to move, and there is a form of exercise for everyone. If you don't enjoy it, or even like it, you haven't found it yet then. Keep trying new kinds until you find something that feels like “that was awesome, whoo hoo!”. Personally, every time I used to do an intense spin class, I'd go home overeat, gain weight, and feel icky. Sometimes I didn't even have to leave the gym to do that! Have you seen what's in their "healthy shakes???" Oh my word...wasted that workout! :(
The instructor might tell say you burned 500 calories in an hour class, but that isn't always what matters on your body. Cardio and weights burn fat so differently. Sometimes the least sweaty pilates class makes me look and feel the longest, leanest and best.
