Post workout Saturday thought!

Hey, Cadre. It is Shannon from Cadre. I'm just coming to you live this Saturday morning from St. Paul, Minnesota. It's a gorgeous day. You can kind of see I'm sitting in front of my house. I just got home post workout, and I wanted to just send a quick message because I just had an awesome morning at the gym. Not everyone likes to go to the gym. That's totally fine. But I wanted to share something. I usually go to the gym with a sense of purpose, with a sense of intensity. I'm kind of a psycho. Just.

I'm gonna say it. I go in hard. That's what I do. And I went in this morning with my general vibe, which is that. And I got. It was a partner workout, and I got a partner named Rachel. And it was Rachel's, like, fourth time in the class. And I've been in the class for, like, two and a half years. And about. We had to do 10 exercises. About one and a half exercises in, I realized, like, oh, this is. You know, she's. She's new. And I was like, shannon, you know what? This is an opportunity to chill out and have an experience with Rachel.

And so this morning, I did that, and I practiced chilling out, which was pretty hard for me, to be honest. For those of you who know me, that's. That is the case. And I made this morning about this community, and I made this morning about Rachel, and I made it about the experience. Experience I was having with others. Instead of like 10 out of 10 on a scale of hardness for my workout. And you guys, I had the best morning. I worked out with Rachel. Rachel and I cheered each other on. I danced a little.

There was some Post Malone. I was singing. You know, I do have friends in there. We were cheering each other on. We were sweating. We were dancing. We were jumping on boxes. We were lifting weights. We were doing all the things right. And it was this cool community of people who are old and who are young and who are new and who are old or new to the class and not new to the class. And it's just the coolest thing to be a part of community. And so, you know, a lot of times when I do these videos, I'm honestly talking to myself, and I'm doing that a little bit here, but I'm also talking to you so that I can remind you that if you open up to community and if you open up to those people around you, there's a lot out there.

And I left Rachel this morning. We gave each other huge high fives I was like, that was awesome. You're a great partner. She's like, you are, too. See you next week. And it was just a fantastic morning, and I got my workout in, and I'm sweating. Look at me. You can tell. And I'm going to start the day in a beautiful way. And so I just wanted to share with you the power of community. You already know that you're here, but it just made my day better than I thought it would be. So starting off strong here in St.

Paul again, I'm trying to show you that it's nice, but it's nice for St. Paul, so you guys might be in a better place. Happy Saturday, Cadre. Hope you guys have a beautiful day. Enjoy your day, whatever that is for you, and we'll see you soon. Bye, guys.
