My Fit List: Wednesday Workout

"If it doesn't challenge you. It doesn't Change you."

These are the words that have been running through my mind all week. They are the words that have been encouraging me and pushing me in my daily life and reminding me of why I hang in there no matter what. I know that it is the challenge that changes me. I know that without pushing through, I will remain the same.

Too many of us just settle for what's comfortable, but we spend our lives complaining about what we're NOT and what we DON'T have. We aren't willing to experience anything unfamiliar, uncomfortable, frightening, painful, or difficult in any way. But we have to remember that just because something may "feel" bad doesn't mean that is actually IS bad. It's often the most difficult things to us that become the absolute best things for us.

Start recognizing those times in your life when you experience discomfort and begin using them as tools for change. See it as an opportunity for growth and refinement. Own the uncomfortable and push through it. You will adapt and you will be a stronger person for it.

Think about that today as you exercise. Push through when it gets painful or difficult. It's at THAT point that CHANGE HAPPENS!

Today I am sharing a circuit with you. You can do this at home or a gym. Set your circuit up BEFORE you start so you can jump right into everything. Circuits are great fat burning workouts. You are pushing yourself as hard as you can and switching things up. Your metabolism and fat burning mechanisms have to keep up.

Repeat the follow Circuit 3 to 4 times. Perform each exercise for 1 min. Rest between sets until you get enough energy back to go strong.

If you are a beginner, aim for 30 to 45 seconds.

1. Jump Rope
