Excuses

When you stop finding excuses you find your answers. The motto of weight trainers.

We fin so many excuses everyday for why we can't do something, but most of them are made up and stand in our way. Fighting through the excuses is a measure of strength unlike any other. 

Today I woke up not quite able to breathe properly and the air tasted stale (I have a cold) and I was tempted to tell myself I can't go but then I reasoned with myself. I can't breathe so I'll avoid the cardio that'll labour my breath, but I can still lift to my hearts desire. 

I'm planning to spend my whole time in the weights room. Do my squats, bicep curl on exercise ball, over head tricep on balance ball,   Shoulder/chest/leg presses, front row leg extensions and curls and my rope machine. 

I'll be able to get a good work out and everything even though I was thinking of not going, plus I can try light activity on cardio see how I do and still get a cardio workout too!!! 

What excuses have you got to drop?
