Oh wait…. Let’s face it, if you are anything like me than when you workout and it was a REALLY good one, You look more like a wet rat than a victoria secret model. AND thats the way it should be!! HAVE NO FEAR! If this is your truth, YOU are on the right track!!! I think Women/Girls as a whole look at the process of working out in the wrong light! It is a WAY to GET TO looking like a victoria’s secret model BUT sometimes you gotta do things outside your comfort zone to get the results you crave. I want to ENCOURAGE you to STRIVE to not be so “put together” when you work out and let you know…its not just you 😉
Let’s use an example all of us LADIES can understand—–> Getting your hair done is one of the best things I do for myself every two months of so. And afterwards I walk out of the salon feeling like the paparazzi would mistake me for someone famous HOWEVER I would never be caught DEAD with foils in my hair under that cone head drying machine!!! Infact I am pretty sure I do everything in my power not to look my reflection directly in the eye when in the middle of this process! HAHA! ya feel me gals!?
…..WELL, working it out is the same concept! Here are a few things you can expect to happen during a REALLY KILLER workout, one where you challenge yourself, one that GETS REAL RESULTS and one where you simply LEAVE IT ALL on the gym floor!
1. You will look around (more than once) to scope out “What that smell is.” —> There WILL be that day you forget deodorant OR that day you decide to try out that new fancy organic deodorant that you have been hearing so much about. If you are like me and normally workout in your own living room with you and your dogs…..than you will realize its you and smile because you’re NOT out in public ! Everyone in my town thanks Team Beachbody for their at home workouts! Embrace it and then make sure you double up next time! 😉
2. Your clothes will be sweaty in all the wrong places.—> OHHH MAN! Before I started working out as hard as I do now, I always used to brag about not getting “pit stains” and then karma came back around to get me!!! I have given up wearing nice shirts when I work out because I dont want to ruin them! Usually about 10 minutes into my “warm up” my shirt is stuck to me like a wet blanket ! SECRET: I have come to LOVE LOVE LOVE the sweat. I feel so accomplished when I have beads of water streaming down my face. Makes me feel like I am making my fat cry!!!!! VICTORY IS MINE!!
3. All your makeup will wind up on your sweat towel! —-> Not that any of us TRY to put on makeup before a workout (because that would be silly) BUT you will have those days where you didn’t have time to wash your face OR you were filming some videos for your business and you forgot that your eyebrows were colored in OR that you had eye liner on…..have no fear, it will wipe off on everything you don’t want it too!!! I always try and keep a moist makeup remover next to wear I workout to avoid ruining thing 😉 Burst Bee’s ones are my FAV!
4. Your hair will be wet and look like you just discovered electricity by holding a metal bat in the middle of a field 🙂 —–> For some reason I try really hard to make my hair look cute before I workout….. Whether it be with a stylish new headband (that always gives me a headache) or with tons of hairspray! BUT then it NEVER fails …I always end up switching the style 60 times until it doesn’t SMACK me in the face multiple times or whip into my eyeball! HOWEVER those little wispies or baby hairs always come out to play leaving me looking like this medusa !!! I now view the “crazy workout hair” as a right of passage! Your hair looks crazy? …You must have had a crazy workout!
MORAL of the story ….EMBRACE these things!! THEY are your badges of honor! Your workout is a battle against yourself and no one EVER left the battlefield looking so fresh and so clean, clean!
THINK back to that hair appointment analogy and what you look like sitting there in your foils!!!! But then how BEAUTIFUL the result is! I encourage you to not “look cute” after/during your workout, strive for that “don’t hug me I’m really sweaty” look 😉 TRUST ME, you will thank me later!
HAPPY SWEATING!
