Motivation Through Breaking Records

Okay, so someone who I think is really smart once said to garner motivation from ***anywhere***– doesn’t matter from where. So recently I have been inspired to seek my 1RM in a few different exercises in order to break the records at Rise Above Performance. It’s a small gym in Belmont that focuses on performance enhancement. The adult female bracket is filled with high scores but I seek to break a few. Weighted pull ups (1RM), bench press (1RM), ...

I always want to like it, so I keep on taking classes, and keep on hating it. Can you believe I even had a private yoga lesson with a friend on Wednesday…and I still hated it. Lmao. Anyways, aerial yoga is the closest thing to yoga that I enjoy. ...
