Must give yourself NO EXCUSE not to workout: strength training improv
Just found out I won’t be able to go to the gym tonight. I have to go to LA to take care of some personal stuff.
I had a feeling this would happened but I was hoping to make it to the Lift class as planned. Ok, so happy moment over.
What do I do? I adapt! Hehee
I bought a pack of canned kidney beans from Costco the other day; it’s stored in my office. So I did 25 push-ups aiming for 100 today, then did some tri-cep dips, then 40 reps of tri-cep overhead with my beans. I don’t have a lot of time because I’m leaving in 1/2 an hour. I hope to get as much as I can in and more tonight.
I don’t give up easily and if I can’t make it to the gym then I improvise. There are some stairs at home I can utilize later on tonight but the gym is open 24 hrs - can always go later.

Ok! Gotta run - not to self - got your 100 in!
Aim for 100 more??????? Gosh, those cans are hard to use for anything other than bicep curls, and tricep overhead.
Got those in too.
OMG - You are so fierce! You know, you remind me that when I was losing weight i was doing stuff like that! Gotta get to it now don’t i?! Hope LA is okay!
