Mirror, mirror on the wall...

My workout room now has a mirrored wall thanks to IKEA and my friend, Barbara.

Reality can suck...especially at 4am. Seeing one's full length reflection under a bright light at that early hour is harsh. Even worse, is using said mirrors to check one's form while doing the exercises that are in the B4L book. That is why I put the mirrors up in the first place. This morning, I was doing my lower body workout. If you've been following along with my blog, you'll remember that my hamstrings suffered greatly with the lunges that I did for the first time. Well, now that I have a mirror, I can SEE that I've not been going down far enough! Whoa Nelly! The mirrors are going to increase the intensity of my workout for sure.

Can't wait to see how my upper body workout goes on Saturday!

  1. Mirror is a must and it is NOT narcissistic. I am always hearing that from people - ooooo, weight lifters are so narcissistic starting at their muscles as they work out. It's call focus and form, morons! I am always fighting for a spot near the front of excercise class so I can check out my form in the mirror. The mirror wall is going to make a huge difference in your work out.
