Muscles are so sore -- Staying motivated!

I think the hardest thing in the world to do is push myself to go to the gym when my muscles are sore.  It takes real determination to push through that initial pain and take it one step further.  However, once I get to working out, that pain goes away....until the next morning.

The way I see it is that I would rather wake up sore and know I did something good for my body, than wake up feeling nothing and wonder if all that time spent at the gym was for nothing!

Today I really pushed myself.  I know the weekend is coming up and the gym is pretty far from my house. The kids have football in the morning and afternoon, we have the USF pre-party, the USF football game, church on Sunday, and I've got a lot of website work to get caught up on.  I figured I might as well push my butt to the limit!  So I did.

Today's workout:

21 Handstand Push-Ups

21 Hanging Ring Dips

15 Handstand Push-Ups

15 Hanging Ring Dips

9 Handstand Push-Ups

9 Hanging Ring Dips

30 minutes of Cardio exercises including: running, bear crawls, military crawls

15 minutes of Wrestling exercises (every guy was bigger than I)

15 minutes of Sparring

Stomach work: crunches, side crunches, etc.

Whew!  I'm wiped out!
