Today I had my weekly 30 minute session with the personal trainer. It was INTENSE! I never say no and she is definitely pushing me. Which is the way it should be, the way I want it……Right? We did the ISO Hammer Row, walking lunges, pushups, curl press, and two twisted pieces of torture I thought she may have made up. One she called ‘Plank Jacks’ which I told her I was going to Google and Yep it’s a real thing. Can you say increased heart rate? The other was jumping squats, you know because squats aren’t hard enough without blending two together with jumps in between and ‘MAM please do them in a fluid motion without stopping’. They were by far the toughest thing I’ve done.
I actually had sweat rolling off of me, and probably some steam. There was a point when I actually thought I might get sick. When I was done I was a wreck. I was shaky and drug myself to the car. I was also so emotional. On the verge of bawling kind of emotional. I’m not the girl that cries and gets upset, so feeling that way messes with me. Is this what happens in all those inspirational workout videos where you push yourself and find a strength you didn’t know you had but it breaks you down? I always thought they were crying over physical pain, not because they connected with some deep emotions.
I will admit the stress in my personal life over the past week has been at level red. What I need to know is if this happens regularly or if it’s a release of the stress? Do I need to prepare to feel this after every intense workout?
Never fear, I came home, showered (obviously), ate, and spent some time sitting outside to get my mind right and my shit together. I’m back to me, but a stronger me. I mean seriously that was an Intense workout and I DID IT!! I never even thought about quitting or saying No!
