It Hurts

NEW RULE!  That's something we use to shout out around the house when we wanted to make a change, like how the dishwasher was loaded or what time the dog needed walked in the morning.  Shouting "new rule" didn't always work but sometime it helped let us see that a change was needed or that something could be handled in a better way.



So I have a made a new rule for the way I count my reps during workouts, especially for ab workouts and leg toning maneuvers (maneuvers, yeah things get complicated up in here).

Don't start counting until it already hurts. 

Like last night, I was doing crunches (I like to do 50) and I didn't even start counting until I was already feeling it.  Let's just consider it the new math for exercising.

If it hurts it's working and most things worth doing or worth having sometimes cause pain. Hope I didn't just burst someones bubble with that little fact.

 And I hope my new rule helps you make a change.  As always if you need a coach checkout my site www.beachbodycoach.com/amycobine
