On Saturday, I took a Peloton Class. I was craving intense cardio but it was -15°F here in New England. I love a sprinkling of cold exposure, but this was too much even for a sucker for punishment like me.
This little mindset shift pushed me from doing an intensive workout to a nice long hike instead.
For a brief moment before making that decision, I imagined a text from you saying, "hey how are you feeling today?" and then my response would have been, "Shit. I woke up at 3:30 and couldn't fall back asleep so now I'm at 4am knowing my day is screwed," and your message back saying, "Cool, go for a nice easy hike."
I love it. Not only did you get some glorious time in nature but that intense workout will be waiting for you on your menu. In fact, I predict it will look pretty tasty as soon as you have a good night sleep :)
As a peloton owner, I find myself ordering from the menu for stretches and weight training and then maybe going a bit off menu when I feel like I need something different from a ride or meditation.
Powerful idea. Curious where you keep your fitness menu? and how you log workouts?
going off-menu can be the most fun... but at this point my menu is like the cheesecake factory lol
i alternate between extremes and either log things like crazy or not really track at all. right now, i've been using notion to get the menu out of my head and feeling energized by what's emerging. can share if you're curious.

So I did.

Digging the menu concept for fitness.
