Aspen Club and Spa

I know we all have some reason for getting up in the morning. Usually its our jobs, our kids, our lives. But what gets you to the gym, is what I am interested in knowing. Some people say it’s to lose weight, or keep weight off. Others may say it’s for their health, a wonderful excuse. Others I know, say it’s their “respite”, a break from their hectic schedules. Hey, some even go to the gym to check out members of the opposite sex! Whatever floats your boat, as the saying goes. But what about those days when the last thing you want to do is put on workout wear and hit the Treadmill? We all have them, and let me be the first to tell you: it’s completely normal. We all need a break sometimes. However, I don’t know about you, but there have been lapses for weeks when I just don’t make working out a priority. And that’s ok too, but this little voice in the back of my head keeps saying….”I really should get to the gym….” I think we’ve all been there, as life comes first and sometimes working out is not what we want to do right then. Funny though, each and every time I’ve been too tired, too busy, too stressed that I DO make it to the gym, I find that I feel great afterwards. This is motivation enough for me.  It works. Exercise should be a part of our regular lives. Whether it’s to keep your heart healthy or to wind down, remember your motivation-and take that extra time to feel better afterwards.  And, you never know who you might meet at the gym!
