Give Yourself a WOOT WOOT!

Posted by Steph

With the new time change and the cold weather officially upon us here in Utah the big question is how am I going to get my workouts in? If I am to be totally honest here, everyone who knows me well knows that I am terrified of the boogie man, and that I hate to be cold. So what do I do?

As I see it, I have three options. One, confront my demons; buy a can of pepper spray and hit the pavement bundled up like the kid on The Christmas Story. Two, I could quit. Or three, join a gym or buy a treadmill.

I am too wimpy for option one. I’ve seen too many results to consider option two, and I’m too poor for option three.

This is what I decided to do. I found an Aquatic Center not too far from my home that offers a punch pass and is relatively inexpensive. It has an indoor track, basketball court, weight room, pool, and all sorts of cardio equipment. It also offers a variety of classes; step aerobics, spin classes, water aerobics, and even yoga!

Today I decided to test it out. I went and purchased a punch pass, went upstairs and ran on a treadmill for 30 minutes. Then to get my punches worth I got on a recumbent bike for another 20 minutes! It felt great. I was so sweaty I wished I had shaved my legs so I could put on a swimsuit and go for a swim!!

Problem solved! Now, you may be wondering why give yourself a Woot Woot? Well, because as I was biking today I had an older gentleman sit down on the bike next to me and when he was done with his workout he stood up, clapped his hands and gave himself a Woot Woot! Now every time you get done with your workouts give yourself a round of applause for your accomplishment, and give yourself a Woot Woot! It will put a smile on your face(and those around you)!
