62 Days Monday Legs and Abs - Big Rocks

Sometimes life can hand us situations that are challenging to deal with but when working out is part of your lifestyle you simply have to work hard to fit it in.  I find the way to make this happen is to make working out one of my big rocks.

For those who haven't heard of the concept of big rocks, let me take a second to explain.  In life we can always come up with excuses or reasons  why we don't do things i.e. exercise, spending time with our kids, accomplishing goals.. So we must go a step further to plan them, we must actually put them in our schedule so that we do them.  How do we do that? That's where big rocks come from.  Big rocks are the major things you want to get done in your week. As you can see we can only have a few big rocks because the glass or our life can only fit some many things, so there is definitely a priority to the matter.. (since we only have 24 hours in a day).

What is usually recommended is to schedule the big rocks first, and then the sand (or other small projects or everything else we do in our week) will get done as life allows.  If we try to do it the other way around (put the sand in the glass first) then the big rocks will not fit in the glass or your major things in life you want to do will likely not get done.

Workout
Today I did my barbell strength class.  Michelle changed the class starting a new routine.  We did many of the same things in a new way.  This month the class will be focused on a lot of hand weights.  When we got the the dips my arms almost fell off. Thank goodness she offered options for those of us who are working up to the level of some of these mini body builders...
