I just joined the Crew Club at College of Charleston last week. Before we get on the water and actually start to row though, we have to go through land conditioning which involves a lot of running and core exercises. We also do this at six o'clock in the morning; it just makes a great time even better. I really enjoy meeting new people by joining the team and I'm proud of myself for powering through the workouts, but I always have the same thoughts running through my head every morning. Anyone who has sacrificed sleeping in to work out has. So here is a list from someone who feels your pain.
1. It's too early for this
2. Is being in shape worth waking up this early?
3. I would really like to go back to bed
4. Okay, I'm waking up a bit more nowÂ
5. Never mind, I'm ready to fall asleep again
6. Don't back out now, your already on the way you have to actually work outÂ
7. Getting started is, like, half the battle
8. Running isn't so bad
9. Oh wait it's actually really bad
10. Why did I decide to do this?
11. Why am I so slow?
12. Why am I so weak?
13. I can't even breathe
14. When did lunges become so hard?
15. Jumping jacks are actually really tiring and I hate them
16. I hate squats too
17. And push-ups
18. And sit-ups
19. So I guess I hate working out in general
20. Is everyone else as sweaty as I am?
21. How gross do I look?
22. How gross do I smell?
23. I can't wait to shower
24. Water has never been this refreshing
25. Am I doing this exercise right?
26. And we're running again
27. Running sucks so much
28. Alright we're done
29. That wasn't too bad
30. I feel so proud of myself
