A really important aspect of training that may get overlooked sometimes is how you approach your workout. How many times have you been performing an exercise that you particularly dislike, and found yourself repeating in your head, "I hate this?" There is not doubt that you are probably right about the aspects of your workout that you hate, but what you may not realize is that simply accepting that it is a part of the workout and cutting out the chatter can make it a heck of a lot easier. That whole frowning thing? Not improving your situation. Your attitude will actually drive your behavior. Great physical performance definitely begins with a great mental attitude!

That looks like a frame from a horror film! Burpees aren't THAT bad!

Are you trying to say something about my attitude with that picture...?

With the "Burpees to Date" number being 666, the horror film Becca mentioned must be "The Omen 5: Yay, Burpees."

As soon as it popped up this morning, I KNEW you were going to say something about that, Nick! Just a coinkydink.

I was just kidding. I think that pic was from the 52 pickup day (I wasn't feeling so hot...).

I don't like running - And I can tend to have a bad attitude about it. So I sing to myself-
1 little, 2 little, 3 little Indians...
4 little, 5 little, 6 little Indians.......

I try to keep my cadence up AND use a childhood song to keep my spirit up. I like efficiency - How about killing 2 birds with one stone for efficiency?
