My 4 Best Kept Fitness Secrets


It’s no secret that I enjoy a challenging workout. I mean, part of the name of this website is “Getting Fit.” BUT, there are a few fitness secrets that I don’t often talk about…sometimes it’s because I just don’t want to…and one is rather embarrassing.

This week, I’ve decided that I’m done keeping secrets, so I’m going to come clean about this.

My 4 Best Kept Fitness Secrets

I Hate Cardio

And not just a little, y’all. I hate it a LOT. I hate how everything jiggles and bounces. I hate how hard it is to breathe. I hate that I feel like everyone is staring at me (I know they’re not). I really don’t like how my whole body turns beet red and someone always asks me if I’m okay (no I’m not, I don’t like doing this!).

I’d much rather lift heavy any day of the week. Thankfully, I’ve found that I love skating, and that thankfully qualifies as actual cardio.

I Forget To Take Rest Days

And then I pay for it. Like this week. I didn’t rest up when my body told me I should have, and now I’m paying for it with a hurt knee.

Rest days are super important to working out-even the most amazing athletes take a day off each week.

I Workout For “Quiet Time”

As a mom, I rarely get any time to myself. Even in the evenings, when my boys are in bed, I’m working. But at the gym? Or doing crossfit? It’s all about me. I love my quiet time, and if that’s what gets me out the door, I’m okay with that!

I Go Commando

…sometimes. When I do a long yoga class or if it’s over 80 degrees and I know that my WOD is going to make me sweat buckets (which is always). Now, I didn’t always do this. Partly because I never really got what “clean” felt like.

Cottonelle

But, I had the opportunity to try out Cottonelle® with it’s ripple texture…and it makes a huge difference! When I’m confident my bum is clean, it’s easier to skip the skivvies. Now, but only Cottonelle® has CleanRipple Texture. When you combine ripples with flushable cleansing cloths…it’s over. You’re clean. Like squeaky.
