So I went to the gym and I started, and lately I've just been going to the gym for leg days
because I like working out outside doing calisthenics.
I'm at the gym hitting legs and I'm squatting and after the fact I feel out of breath.
And it reminds me to, it reminded me to a couple months ago how I stopped doing cardio
for a while and I felt really out of breath after every single leg workout.
And then I decided that I hated that feeling.
I just didn't like not being in shape.
I didn't like being out of shape.
And so I started doing cardio again and I started going on runs.
And then just the other day I found myself hitting legs at the gym feeling that hint
of being out of shape again.
And it was because I stopped doing cardio for a week.
I had my excuses but there were nothing but excuses.
So I stopped doing cardio for a week and as a result I started to feel a little bit out
of shape.
And at that point I'm like, I gotta start doing cardio again.
And then I go on a walk, my normal walk after breakfast and I'm thinking to myself, right
away after this walk I'm gonna put my running gear on and go on a run.
What did I do?
I didn't do that.
I decided to take a nap.
And if you listened to yesterday's episode that was the day that I took a nap and got
woken up from the nap because my mom saw a cardinal.
So I
But I take a nap and then I eat lunch and I'm just sitting there on the couch after having
eaten lunch and I'm thinking this is the trap.
This is the trap of not having that positive feedback loop set in place to do cardio.
And now you have to use discipline to actually get up and do the cardio.
This is the trap that people are in.
And I immediately recognized it and I thought to myself, no I'm better than this.
Like I do not belong in this trap.
So I just said put your running gear on and I started going on a run.
And while I was in that run, halfway through I was like, I kinda wanna cut it short.
And I'm like, no, I'm here for a run so I'm gonna run.
So I run and I do my full cardio workout.
And that was a really good thing for me because now I'm back on to doing cardio.
And it's a really cool vibe running out in the winter time, especially when it's sunny
out, which it was yesterday.
If you ever have that opportunity, go out on a run during the winter time when it's sunny
out.
Especially when there's snow on the ground.
