My Exercise Plan: Creating My Menu of Services

Question #2

  

My "Menu of Services".  And the name I've given my at home spa.

List your options. What is currently available to you?

I used to dream of owning my own health and fitness spa when I was younger, so I am striving to create my own little health spa of sorts at home ~ I've even given it a name ~ Club Pebblecreek.

Just like I imagine being presented with a beautiful list of services when I attend the spa, I have created my own little presentation for myself.  In a slim black leather binder I have inserted pages of creamy cardstock listing out all my current offerings {aka all my workout options}.  I get workout boredom quite easily, so writing out a list of everything I have is beneficial when trying to decide what I want to do each day. 

Working out can also be a mind game for me. I know my house and workout areas aren't quite spa worthy yet, and surroundings definitely affect my well being, so I am also breaking down each category to list out each aerobics video I have so that I can know today I'm going to be working out in Hawaii and my personal trainer is going to be Elle McPherson. At least I can pretend I'm there with her! Besides its just fun to say I have an appointment with my trainer in Hawaii!  Even if it is only in my basement.

My list is currently rather short since I just had to get rid of all my old workout videos since the demise of our VCR finally {may it rest in peace!}.  I am now trying to rebuild my workout library with newer versions on dvd and BluRay {hence my At Home Workout Club! ~ You're totally welcome to join me on rebuilding or building up your own workout libraries!}

I am also including lists of other schedules and things around my community such as good walking trails or places to go cycling or swimming and other fun activities that maybe I can call up a friend and say, "hey wanna go to water aerobics tonight?  It starts at 9 pm and costs $3", you know, for the times when I'm in the mood to do something different.

Actually listing out everything that I already have along with other options around me in my community helps me to realize the abundance of choices I have available so that I can switch things up and keep things fresh.  At least that's the idea anyway!

Have you written out what is available to you yet?
