I was thinking about a new angle for a post and decided that may be it would be interesting to hear from someone else who isn't me for once! So, I went to the gym and tracked down a student who is very passionate about her gym-time...she goes to the gym everyday for about an hour and a half, without fail. Great. And I was proud of my gym commitment three days a week for an hour, this girl blows me out of the water. Her hardwork definitely pays off though, this college student looks great, feels great, and loves her daily routine.
(Our role model didn't want to be named, so for now we'll call her GE, for Gym Enthusiast)
ME: So what is your daily workout routine like?
GE: I run for 60 minutes depending on the speed, between 6.5 and 7 miles, and then I do an ab-routine from when I used to teach pilates back home.
ME: Do you workout solely to stay in shape, or do you have any other motivations?
GE: I have a really busy schedule and taking an hour and a half out of my day is more for me to relax mentally. I'd rather be doing something physical than just lying around.
ME: Have you always been athletic?
GE: Yea, I played sports in high school and when I stopped having practices daily I knew I needed to do something to maintain my physical conditioning on my own.
ME: Do you ever switch up your workout with classes or anything?
GE: When I'm home I do Zumba and Bikram Yoga, which is the 100 degree yoga, and I really enjoy it! It's awesome.
ME: Do you have any suggestions for those of us who struggle to stay in shape?
GE: You can make small changes that don't necessarily involve going to the gym. You can take the stairs, walk places instead of driving to them, or just do little ab exercises while you're watching t.v. or hanging out!
Well there you have it! Just remember, if she can do it... so can you!
