So, you know it's going to be a rough morning when Shaun T is looking at you saying, "you know what, I'm actually pretty nervous about this workout today."
..... what??? NOT helpful, Shaun!
This was the workout I'd been hearing about. 45 minutes of blasted cardio and muscle power... with no breaks. Eeeek! I'm going to die!
But, I didn't. It actually was surprisingly fun. There were many breaks that I had to take myself, and I refilled my water bottle twice, but hey, it was cool! One thing I will say about Shaun T that is different from any other fitness video instructor I've seen.... he actually does the workout with you. It actually is remarkably encouraging when you hear the instructor huffing and puffing, gasping for breath at times, and running for water; definitely makes you feel less pathetic when you can't do the entire set.
Even after only five days, it is remarkable to see how quickly your muscle builds, your endurance extends, and your energy boosts. Today was the first time I'd been able to make it through all three accelerated sets of the warm up without running for water (yes, it sounds pathetic, but believe me... the first five minutes of the workout are NOT a walk in the park).
Tomorrow it's back to the same routine we did on day 2. I'm curious to see how much better I can do!!!
Keep moving, and keep diggin' in! :)
