I do it because I know it is good for me but OMG do I dislike it the whole time!\u00a0 Since I am not into running, I usually have lots of thoughts rushing through my brain regardless of how high I have my music bumping so what I do is think of hockey players. Again, strange I know since I am not the sporty type but <strong>I think of them and how hard they work every single day to be the best they can at their craft<\/strong>. I think of what it takes for them to reach their goals everyday and to be in the game they are in.\u00a0 <strong>I think about how hard they have to push in every single moment in order to maintain their jobs and game<\/strong>. I then think that <strong>they would never let something like being a little out of breath or sore legs stop them from getting to the place they want to get<\/strong> to and so then I am motivated to keep moving and be my best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working out is physical yes, but it is also mental<\/strong>. If you let your head get the best of you and talk you out of your goals, you are then not letting yourself be your best&#8230;and chicks you deserve only the best! <strong>Get out there and make it happen and make today a game changer for yourself<\/strong> &#8211; you will be happy you did!<\/p>\n<p>Have a fab day,<br \/>\nYour Head Chick, Amanda xo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Chicks!
