Pilates Bands

I don't know what is wrong with me, but I just haven't really been wanting to RT training. Oops now I remember, it hurts!

When I first stared telling folks about my plan for this triathalon, many people would applaud my motivation. Well it's true that I am a pretty determined person, but I like the rest of the world have areas where it is hard for me to stay committed. RT is a prime example. I am pretty ok when it came to machines, but this whole balancing and core work is for the dogs.

But here's the thing, I know how important it is, and how much stronger I will become, but I just don't have the umph. For some people, it's staying on a diet, for some, it's getting out to run, for some, it's walking the dog. So how does one get past the stumbling block?

Well I have tried to motivate myself with music-works a bit. I have tried Yoga video-not great. I tell myself that I will do core work everynight before I go to bed-biggest failure of all!

Well today I was at Winner's and I found meself some Pilates Bands with a video for 10 bucks. They look nice, and there are 3 levels of elacticity for begginners, intermdiate and advanced. It also came with a DVD. I am excited to try it-maybe this will be my RT hook?

I guess at the end of the day, I just don't want to give up. I have the desire to get better at this. It's so not easy, but then again either was swimming. I will do this, I've got to do this, and if pilates doesn't work I am sure I will find something else to challenge me in my RT quest!
