Cardio

Walking into the gym today, I thought today's workout was going to be a much needed easy cardio and stretch day. I was feeling so sore and sluggish, but I knew I had to get in a workout. However, the most amazing feeling came over me towards the end of my workout. As I was 20 minutes into my treadmill workout I was so ready to quit. Literally as I was about to hit the stop button, the song "Who Gon Stop Me" came on. I realized no one can stop me on this journey I'm on. I'm in it for me. Instead of hitting that stop button, I increased the speed and banged out some incline sprints. When that song came on I literally got the chills and the biggest rush of endorphins and thought "mind over matter babyyyy." I have come to realize that mind over matter is an amazing mindset to have. YOU can accomplish so much more than you ever thought when you truly push yourself. I believe in you.. and remember.. MIND OVER MATTER BABY!!
