Pump Up Your Volume... it BEGINS!!!


We kicked off our "Get Pumped" promotion with the YMCA of Dodge County, yesterday, and so begins the conscious effort to:
A: Eat Healthier
B: Work Out Harder
and
C: Not beat myself up because I don't look like a super model.
Getting fit is tough, friends. The temptations are all around us to fall off the diet wagon (especially if you work in an office environment where at least once a week there are FAR TOO MANY treats in your break room), to stay home and watch your favorite show INSTEAD of doing squats, and to quit all together when you don't see the results you want to achieve. I have to come back to reality, though, and realize that I'm not going to have that flat stomach or chiseled arms - my genetics are against me here - but I can still be proud of the little victories that signal change in my body inside and out.
I'm not a gym rat.
I don't know how to use MOST of the equipment at the Y.
Sometimes I down-right DREAD getting off my couch and doing something physical after I've been working all day.
But I'm going to do this.
I'm making a commitment right now to follow our "Get Pumped" program seriously - but I will need your help.
Every week the Y will open classes (which Rick OR I will be attending) to 5 or 6 non-members. Email the show (morningshow@wxroradio.com) or give us a call (887.9595 or 800.281.1580) and let us know you're interested. Who knows! You and I could end up being work-out buddies helping each other through the successes of getting in shape... maybe you can show me how to use that machine that looks like an iron maiden.
If you ARE a member - just stop in a class and check it out!
I'm looking forward to seeing you all stop by the Y!
Tomorrow, Friday, Septemeber 19th, I will be attending the 10:10am Boot Camp class. If you have that hour free and would like to see what Rick is so afraid of... (teehee)... email the show and let me know!
