So today’s workout was brutal. It was a total body workout that had me screaming in pain. We started out with my normal warm up which I have gotten extremely good at. So what happens when you accelerate in class? They give you something harder. So JC had me shuffle back and forth in a squat position between cones while he threw a football at me, which I had to catch and through back, while I shuffle. Then if that wasn’t bad enough I had to do the bear crawl between the cones, and when he yelled ball, I had to get up, catch the football, shuffle back to the cone and throw it back to him. Then I bear crawled back to the cone and started it all over again. Now, that would have been enough for me; not JC. He had me pull weights with a chain across the room. I did lunges while pulling it one way and then pulled it backwards in the squat position. Well by the end of my set my legs were shaking and felt as if they were on fire. This was the first time since I started this challenge that I actually felt defeated and like I wanted to give up. JC, however, pushed and kept me focused on the goal; an athletic lean LA body fit for 90210. So I got back on track and pushed through the pain. Afterwards, we worked the arms for a bit before stretching and calling it a night.
I should let you know that I survived the ice storm today. I usually fall on my ass, as I am one of the most uncoordinated people out there. However, I caught myself numerous times without falling, in part due to the working out that I have done. Quite the accomplishment if I don’t say so myself. Something else exiting is that Punxsutawney Phil, aka the Groundhog Day mascot, did not see his shadow, which signals an early spring is on the way. One can hope, right? Well off to bed. I am sore and in pain and hoping that I will have a restful night. I am sure that I will wake up to tight leg muscles and pain. But no pain no gain!
