Recently, at my 5:30am women only class, I was commending the girls on how awesome it was that they continue to come to class despite the early wake-up call and the fact that sleeping in is MUCH easier. I thanked them for being there and committing to their health. That’s when one of the girls said, “thank YOU for being here every morning!” I smiled and said “you are most welcome, but it is much more impressive that you come, because you have a choice!” We laughed for a second (as we do every morning, because let’s face it, at 5:30am, we are all a bit delusional no matter how much coffee), and then one of my girls said, “No, I don’t.” All of the girls agreed. The mood stayed light, but the giggling stopped and they got a little serious on me! They have made the commitment, and making their workouts happen each week is no longer an option for them. It’s just a part of their life and daily routine.
How inspiring!!
