Wow! This elliptical workout is amazing, challenging and I almost threw up!
I learned that I push myself hard, I can conquer that feeling of "I want to slow down!".
I talked to my coach today who reassured me that interval training is where it's at for cardio workouts! When I stepped into the gym with my sister this morning I headed straight for the elliptical, hopped on like I was doing this for years, after all muscles have memory right?
Armed with my Beyonce, let the sprint begin, then a little more resistance, then more sprinting, then again, rest, again, again, rest, again, whoa I'm tired, again, I'm thirsty, again, I wonder if my ass looks big in these pants? Why didn't I wear black? I hope I don't throw up, rest, again, Jillian Michaels would tell me to suck it up and keep going...looking at my sister with that dramatic "I'm dying look".
Whew! Cool down.
"Raina, it's your first workout, you're a frickin' beast, you had your resistance on super hard for the hard parts."
She knows me, go big or go home, I'm playing to win, full out, whatever it takes!
That felt awesome! Throw up feeling and all!
Walking out of the gym and heading home to prepare meal 2 of 6 today, I felt that feeling of accomplishment, every journey starts with the first step!
