A.M. Workout 06/14/13 - Are you a WINNER or LOSER?

Oh what a great start to my morning. I hit the Riverwalk and the ACOSTA bridges at full speed! I promise you, when you take music with elevated BPM's on your walks and you keep up with the baseline you WILL get an awesome, fast work out!! I live and die by Chris Brown's TURN UP THE MUSIC! I put it on repeat for most of the walk until it's time to cool down.

Today I decided to walk the Riverwalk again so I started behind the Jacksonville Landing. I truly enjoyed it the last time and the views are so beautiful to me. Let me share some with you ...

This is why I prefer outdoor exercise over being a gym rat ANY day. The views are much more beautiful and less enticing than the views at the gym. I'd have to carry my bible while I worked out to remain focused. *laughs* The Father provided us with this wonderful scenery and awesome nature to enjoy so I partake of it as often as I can. I don't knock anyones gym hustle but it's just not for me. You have to know what works for you and get in that lane.

I started my walk down the Riverwalk, across the catwalk and down to the YMCA which is how I connected to the opposite side of the Acosta bridge. At the foot of the bridge I did 40 inclined push ups before beginning my journey. Thank goodness for the cloud coverage which allowed for some type of coolness. As I walked I began to feel down, unsure why but I just felt down and that's when I began to talk to my Father. I walked, talked and cried during my entire walk over that side of the bridge. It seems the more worked up I felt the harder the breeze would blow. It was almost as if my Father was telling me it's all going to be alright and greater things are yet to come. I believe and received that too. Amazingly enough the 1st lap seem to disappear during my talk ... no sooner than I started walking up the incline I was coming down the other side. NOTHING BUT GOD! I am ever so thankful for health, peace of mind and strength. I am over joyed and confident feeling after I work out. There are so many people without the ability to function on their own and we take it for granted so often, for this reason as well as a few others I keep my body moving.

No targeted core work today but keeping your core tight when you walk is a work out in itself.

Where are my winners who work hard to achieve SUCCESS in any and all you do, be it life or fitness? When it comes to fitness you can NOT shortcut your way to a healthy body, those results will be temporary. Please believe! When you work hard for what you get you are more likely to keep it up and take care of it, I know I do. It makes you want to do everything in your power to prevent depreciation ... that NEW CAR feeling and I love the "new car" that gets me around these days. The fuel it uses, none other than VI ... that's how THIS winner keeps going!
