This morning’s workout of the day at Kinetic was a 25 minute AMRAP (as-many-rounds-as-possible). It was hard: 9 back squats, 12 push-ups, 15 box jumps, 21 sit-ups. Repeat. It took everything I had to do 6 rounds.

In the middle of the workout, in the middle of a round of box jumps, I yelled out:

Because what choice did I have?

I either love jumping up from the ground 20 inches to the top of a plywood box, or I don’t.

And if I’m going to do it 90 times in the space of 25 minutes, loving it is a way more helpful attitude.
