Overanalyzing workouts

Confession Time: I'm getting tired of working out. My exercises are starting to consume a lot of my time (both physically and mentally). The reason being is that I have a tendency to overanalyze EVERYTHING. The slow and steady mindset has really helped me out with workout-induced anxiety, but I sometimes can get worked up about improving my progress and seeing quicker results. Sometimes I can ignore my stable workout/nutrition philosophy for constant mindtalk of:

Am I doing enough cardio/conditioning? 

Am I losing my strength gains? 

I haven't done yoga in forever, I need to do yoga. 

Am I eating enough protein? 

Is going to dance enough of a workout for a day? Should I fit in a 12 minute circuit? If so, when do I do it?

All that mindtalk is tiring. I worry about whether the exercises I am doing are the right ones at the right times. I get stuck in my overanalyzing ways and forget about just moving for the heck of it. 

So what am I going to do about it?

I'm going to try and focus on the positives of movement. No matter what it is. I will focus on how good movement makes me feel. Bottom line: I love to workout. I love to sweat. I love to push myself. I will use those exhilarating feelings to propel my workouts, not because I have to be "on schedule." For example, I haven't done yoga in a long time. Instead of thinking and worrying about when I can fit in my next yoga session, I will just let it happen organically. If that doesn't happen in another two weeks, so what? My body is telling me to do other things. When I am really craving yoga, I'll do it.

So what recent workouts did I do?

• Monday, 1/20: This workout
• Tuesday, 1/21: 1 hour bootcamp class
• Wednesday, 1/22: Jazz Fusion dance class
• Thursday, 1/23: 1 hour bootcamp class
• Friday, 1/24: This workout
• Saturday, 1/25: 1 hour kickboxing class
• Sunday, 1/26: 1.5 mile leisure walk
• Monday, 1/27: 30 minute strength training at the gym that focused on upper body, followed by this 20 minute speed demon treadmill workout (note I dropped the starting interval speed to 7.3). My strength training included 2 supersets of:
• Inverted pullups from the smith machine, plyo pushups, and leg raises
• Cable bicep curls, cable tricep pushdowns, and bird dog planks
• Tuesday, 1/28: 45 minute HIT workout from Synergy fitness

Although I started to get tired of working out, I still loved the actual workouts themselves. What I was really getting tired of was my mindtalk.

 Just move.
