Become a Beast ·

2015/01/21

The numbers are the holy grail. I get that. However, when logging workouts, which I strongly advised doing on a regular basis, adding notes regarding how your are feeling, energy levels, life events on your workout log pre and post workout are extremely helpful. Why? Non-measurable aspects can help you understand and review why progress or regress may be working or occurred. There are days I don't feel like working out. There are days my son keeps me up all night. There are days I could workout for

I hate the winter. Even more so since I live in Colorado. Sure, my in-law's from Minnesota laugh at me, but cold is cold and I miss California and Arizona. Where that leaves me? My first two winters in Colorado led to weight gain (not significant) and few miles ran. I've learned how to dress properly and get some of the lost miles back in my routine, but I've grown to accept seasonal fitness. What is seasonal fitness? First, it's a random term I just made up. Good times. Second, seasonal fitness
