Is it Okay to Celebrate Myself

Achieving a fitness goal that has taken me 8-years to achieve? Hell yes!! Especially, as there is no one to share with, and say, “you go girl!”
The workout I did today, I couldn’t do in my 50s. It was just too fast paced, and too hard. I’ve attempted it a few times in these years, but gave up. Well, today, I did the whole routine. It was challenging, but fun, and it felt great that I could actually do it, with a few modifications to preserve my knees. This means I’m fitter today than I was when I was in my 50s. Heck, apart from all the arthritis and disk problems, I’m fitter now than when I was 30. Go Me! 🏆

It’s been my experience that I’ll come across a very advanced workout that is just too advanced for me, but as I continue to improve my fitness level with other workouts, eventually, I can do the advanced one. Sometimes it takes years, but you then find you are fitter even though another decade older. Just start slow, at your own pace, and your fitness will return.

By the way, I’m now doing another advanced routine I was never able to keep up with, so that’s two I’ve conquered. I thought I had reached my peak of fitness a couple of years ago, but apparently not.

Good luck! @Tamberina
