Just Don't QUIT.

Girl has some bada** delts going on. Today I focused on shoulders and wow, it's been a few weeks since I've done some hardcore shoulder work. I noticed the difference, in a bad way. I was not able to do my usual # of reps....and this shows me how important and beneficial it is to truly "cross-train", which in MY book means you do your 'cardio' type workouts like running or kickboxing and you do your yoga or pilates and you do your weight training-- it's all surprising and confusing to your body and they all complement your body because they all work the muscles in a unique manner. 

I also have some SERIOUS DOMS going on today from Hot Yoga last night. It was killer and she did a ton of extended chair pose, where I was thinking "DANG GIRL can you tell us to come up out of the pose for crying out loud?" My glutes and quads are screaming today and I love it.

This is my favorite version of chair but we held each side forever! I was starting to see visions of Huge Jackman carrying me off to Starbucks for a Frappuccino! I will tell you this, EACH time I go to a yoga class, I am able to push myself deeper into a pose, and it can be painful, but I'm able to get what the whole "breathe into it" concept means. I'm getting stronger each time...I have a WAYS to go on certain poses and that's where it's awesome to be in a class with a goddess or sexy yoga man instructor there, because when I do this one, I ALWAYS ATTRACT THE INSTRUCTOR OVER TO HELP ME (which in translation means, I'm doing it so off, they are like, "whoa this chick is messed up, I better fix her")

Triangle pose. Kids if you have yet to do yoga, do NOT be mistaken and think this or any pose is as easy as it looks. Once you have someone correct your form and you feel your body PULLING and stretching and your muscles shaking as you try to hold the pose and breathe-- whoa. That's all I can say. I LOVE IT.

Today's post is titled "just don't QUIT" because the ONLY way we FAIL in this fitness journey is TO QUIT. Stop comparing yourselves to others. This is your body, your day, your life. Just make each workout better in some way than the last. And keep going. 

Today I did GSP Rushfit Full Body Conditioning and Strength:

I really have a problem doing what they call the Hindu Pushups. But other than that, I was a dang sweaty MESS people!! Check it out:

Wow. Be careful, this vlog may have hurt your eyes. I'm sorry to have done that to you. ;-) 

Anyway, I'm off to chill out tonight and watch a movie. I have to pack for BlogHer in San Diego- who will be there? Come out and see us! WOOO!! 

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Have you "mastered" push-ups yet? I mean, I can do like 12 boy pushups before I get tired, but I'd love to progress to one-hand or these Hindu push-ups. How about you?
