Last night was too late and this morning was too early. I don’t know if it was related to that, but my arms did not want to work this morning. The warm up and leg complex were fine. Then I got to the upper body complex and my arms just stopped working. I attempted the push-ups on my knees and still had a hard time making my arms do anything. They weren’t necessarily sore but they sure didn’t want to hold any weight. Each complex is done 4 times. By the third I laid on my mat and did some ab work. At least my core was working. And this routine has a super stretch section at the end.
One of Tony’s sayings that I really like is not saying “I can’t” but saying “I presently struggle with.” Today I presently struggled with a lot of arm issues. But next time I’ll be able to bear weight on my arms and I can struggle with something else. I’m not really sure if the saying sticks out to me because I like its positive foresight (I’ll someday be able to do the things I can’t today) or because I like the idea of a struggle. Working out isn’t easy. And it shouldn’t be. Struggling, to me, implies that you’re overcoming something to improve yourself. And I want to improve myself. Who doesn’t want to be a better version of themselves?
