Hey friends! How are you doing?
What a day yesterday was…..let’s just say it was intense to the max.
Something that got me going through it all, however, was the mantra “you never regret a workout.”
Let’s back up, shall we?
Zumba in the a.m.!!
I taught a Zumba class in the morning and a bunch of my sisters and friends came to it–it was awesome! Even though I did not get enough sleep the night before….. Issue number one: don’t go to bed too late (darn, fun family!) when you teach a bunch of fitness classes –it makes it SO much harder.
BUT, I felt amazing for having done it, nonetheless. You really do never regret a workout, my friends–even when all hell wants to break loose!
I also went to the zoo with the fam and nieces and nephews (fun!) afterwards and had a total blast. We had to hurry back though, because we had a meeting with some people from our church for work we do in the genealogy section.
Apparently I was stressed about making the meeting (issue number two: don’t stress out about trivial things), because as we drove over, my eyes started to get blurry. Uh oh, I thought. YIKES, I said. I knew a migraine was starting. BOO.
how I felt. (click for source.)
The entire meeting I wanted to die. Legit. I almost threw up all over the man’s million dollar home….luckily I made it to the bathroom in time……and……… ‘Nuff said.
After yarfing I felt better (what’s with me and wanting to yarf and yarfing this week?!), but still felt like crap after! My husband is a sweetheart and loaded me up with a bunch of essential oils such as Peppermint and Frankincense once we got home and I took a nap…..knowing I was scheduled to teach BodyPUMP that evening (about 2 hours later after the yarf incident).
When I work up I decided I would do it–even if I had to lower my weight selection. And you know what?! It was AWESOME. I felt SO much better! It helped that a bunch of my family came to the class too-they’re the best

I’ll say it again, no matter what, YOU never regret a workout. (Disclaimer: unless you’re on your deathbed). If I can have the end of a migraine and teach an intense weight lifting class, you can GET your workout done–and done well 
You are more than you think you are–and I believe that!
Remember, the holidays are still upon us, so fight those cookies and get in on the action at the gym, outside, or in your living room. I believe you can do hard things, do YOU?
Have a GREAT Friday! Thanks for staying for the pump it up/work harder post! Apparentely I am in one of my moods to motivate and encourage
YOU can do it!
Off to dance!
Tell me, have YOU ever regretted a workout?? Because I can not think of one instance for me…..Any other favorite exercise mantras for YOU?? What are YOUR Friday plans?!
“you’ve never regretted a workout” is on my screen when my alarm goes off at5:15am! And no of course k have never regretted a work out!!
WOW-that is a great screen saver picture/phrase! GO you today
Totally love that mantra. I think the only time I’ve really regretted a workout is when I’ve done one when I’m sick and I know I shouldn’t have pushed myself haha. I am so impressed that you were able to teach that class after having a migraine!
True–being too sick is not a good idea! Have a good one
Never regret a workout… once going it feels soooo good!
SO true
i never ever regret a workout… even if they aren’t top notch, it still feels to get a good sweat sesh in!
Said like a true trainer!
Talk about dedication! I just tried my first group weight class. Loved it!
I have never regretted a workout and hope… I never do.
haha love the …… –me either!
Happy NYE, lady!
Soooo so true, you really don’t! I am going to need to use this for motivation tomorrow to get my butt out of bed on a Saturday haha
How did you do?!
Honestly, that is what I tell myself EVERY morning. You won’t regret it after your’re done! Most of the time I am okay as soon as I get to the gym — it’s just getting there!
Yep–hardest part is moving the butt out of the bed…..at least for me
The only times I’ve regretted a workout is when I was injured and should not have worked out because it made it worse! I have a hard time taking days off…
Ahhh, yes, it is important to listen to the body first and foremost!
