Groove to Health

I realized something recently . . . My core isn't as good as it once was 🤦‍♀️ I have my clients do core, planks and other things and yet I forget to ALL THE TIME for myself! I think they can out plank me any day of the week 🤣 Not to compare me to them, but this one thing i need to work on. 😉

Core challenge! I want to do at least 2-5 minutes of straight core work everyday. It can range from planks, to sit ups, to hollow holds, to leg lifts to anything that works my Center. Anyone with me? I'll post my core workout either here or in my Stories and you let know I'm not alone in doing this with a 🙋‍♀️ or comment!

Sound easy enough? Let's go for it!

💪Workout one: starting point, write it down📝

🐺Low or high plank: hold for as long as you can

🐺Side plank: don't forget side 2 😉 hold as long as you can

At the beginning of the year, I taught 5 classes. Four were Zumba or Zumba Gold and the other Strong Nation. Now as of yesterday, I no longer have my own class to teach. All do to not having enough numbers to keep them going.

Losing my beloved Sunday classes was an extreme blow which happened in an email yesterday. I wasn't even giving the option to finish off the month to allow me to tell my loyal regulars the class was being canceled. That hurt! 😭 I wanted to lash out. I want to hurt the person who hurt me. I've done this before and regretted it.

This time instead of lashing out, I had a very good pity me cry and took a hot scented Epson salt bath. I picked up my "Self-Love Experiment" by Shannon Kaiser book which I have a tendency to go back to it when I needed the next passage the most. This was NO EXCEPTION!🤦🤷🤪

See quote.

So . . . I can decided to focus on the bad and honestly where would that get me? Or I can shift my focus and concentrate on the good.

The Good:
-I have loyal regulars willing to go to bat for me in this situation, which means I must've done something right, right?
-I do not have to stress about learning new songs to bring to class, I can let it happen naturally
-I can focus more on me, on my workouts then trying to find time to practice and workout.
-Not having a regular class could give me the chance find my "Zumba feet" again so to speak. I was feeling a little burnt out if I was truly honest with myself.

When the time comes I will be ready. I am going to enjoy the process and keeping focusing on the good. :D

Those aren't tears of sadness but sweat 🥵 tears of victory! Omg Shaun T is killing me! Legs, butt, arms, are on fire! My body is still shaking from this one. I really had to Dig Deeper on this total body circuit.
