Not your average workout


I almost killed Justin by talking him into trying Team Training with me. It was a Biggest-Loser-Jillian-wants-you-to-puke day. He made it through one of the circuits and the next thing I know, he's looking green under the gills.


But no wonder-- the boy gets up at 5:05, throws on some clothes and walks out the door. I try to give myself a little longer to do my morning bible study, drink some OJ and get ready. And this is not your average workout. (One of the older ladies, 60ish, trying the class said "I would not pay money to do this.") Even the warmup had me exhausted with the plyos and crawling work we were doing on the floor. I started saying "I can't do this," but I stuck with it and felt much better after I started letting out a few "woot woots" and counting out loud the last 10 seconds of each circuit. Our trainer is tough but sweet. My reaction to her telling me so sweetly the impossible thing I'm about to do is to laugh. Laughing is better than whining, right.


So the workout was killer but after I got home and took a shower, I started bouncing off the walls. I feel great; just sad I have to sit behind a computer all day. I'm ready to conquer the world. :)

  1. Awesome stuff, Ashley!
    Take a 5min stretch in your cubicle around 3pm. We started that at the office and it makes a WORLD of difference. Some folks take smoke breaks, we take stretch breaks -it's good for you and will make you less sore later. ;)
