You start tomorrow!! Are you excited? Are you nervous? Good. I remember my first night. I had no idea what to expect. I was like, a little nauseous thinking about what awaited me and I almost backed out. I’m so glad I didn’t. If you’re feeling like that, don’t back out. Come in and we’ll work through it.
If you watched the video for the challenge you may remember some of my story. I reached a point in my fitness and in my life where I could no longer trust that my body could keep up with my life. I was getting ready to go on my first flight with my new baby and I remember thinking “I wonder if I can carry my daughter through the airport?” That was my moment. That was when I decided that I could no longer live a life where I had to ask myself those questions. I wanted a life where I could live to the fullest. I could go jump on a trampoline, or go for a hike, or even just park far from the entrance of a store. I wanted to be able to trust my body to do anything I wanted.
And you know what the best part is? Now it can! I recently wanted a sleeper sofa in my house moved from one room to another and my husband didn’t get around to it. So I did it! Do you know liberating that is? You will soon. Stick with this for the challenge and beyond and you will amaze yourself.
I can’t wait to meet you all. Embrace the process. You can do this!
Coach’s Tip: The weight on the barbell should be something you can cruise through! This is a high volume workout and you should be able to do BIG sets out of the gate. Try to hold on to the barbell as long as possible and use the burpees as “rest”. Yep, we said it — burpees are your rest!!
