Halfway Through Muscle & Power! Stay the Course. Dial In. And Have Fun!
Good morning, FB Family!
You’re midway through Week 2 of Muscle & Power and I know you’ve felt the high physical (and mental!) demands from this challenge. Now is a great time to remind you of something important that might not resonate with everyone: You don’t have to love every workout.
I’m not suggesting you continue an activity or training method you absolutely despise or that you force yourself to participate in training modalities that don’t contribute to your goals, but there will always be some training sessions that aren’t super enjoyable. You won’t hate your time in motion but you might not walk away from it with an energizing dopamine rush. Recognizing that this “ho hum” feeling is totally normal and not letting it discourage you from continuing your training is crucial to maintaining consistency, repeating efforts, and building the mental strength needed to pursue a lifetime of movement.
Alternatively, there will be days where you start a workout and need to press pause until you can resume another day - that’s more than ok! Remove the judgment from whatever decision you make about your training/daily movement and you’ll notice that your adherence and consistency both start improving.
However you choose to approach today’s Day 8 workout, I have faith in you that you’re making the best decision for you! If you enjoyed Day 6’s workout format, you’re in luck. Day 8 is the upper body counterpart to the lower body workout that kicked off your second week of training. You’ve got upper body strength supersets designed to help you pick up your heavier weights mixed in with power burnout rounds that will challenge your coordination and speed. Stay the course. Dial in. And have fun!
