Then we do burpees or good mornings, I use to have to put one leg back at a time and forward again, but I can finally do these little bastards with some resemblance of the actual exercise.
Then to round out the circuit, we did power squats, now I’m okay with squats, I can do squats, but lord by the time you get to these and you have 12 pounds in each hand and sweat stinging your eye, it’s a bit harder.
That goes on for 25 minutes and our instructor tallies how many we complete. I did 7! And got a fist bump from one of the larger muscley men in my class! Because I did more than him! That was a proud moment for me in my class. And to think I didn’t want to go. I felt stronger too, way better than Tuesday. We finished up the class with combinations and ab work and it was a good workout. And my rug burn got re-burned and I now consider it my battle wound.
Awesome! The fist bump. I got the equivalent the other day. So I see this muscle bound dude doing these step-ups on this giant box w/ weights. He's like groaning by the end and clearly it hurts. I tell my trainer, "If that makes THAT guy hurt that bad, I never ever want to do that." He just grins. 10 min later he has me doing the exact same thing only on a slightly smaller box, which is ok since I'm probably 1.5 ft shorter. The walking mound of muscle walks by and says, "See you CAN do it. And you thought it'd be too hard.Way to go." in front of a bunch of other walking mound of muscles. Score one for fat chick! You're doing great. Keep going...
