Today- I tackled one of my fears. I am not going to lie, I almost cancelled and didn't go, but I went. The entire car drive I felt like I was going to puke. Before we got started I felt like I needed to run to the bathroom. But- instead- I told myself I have made it this far (deciding to go, drive, got to my location, now I HAVE TO DO IT!).
What I am referring to is my fear of working out in front of others. I have never done so and to some it may seem silly- but I was fearful of failing and looking silly.
So- Today- I jumped feet first and did it!
Joel Freeman and Jericho from LES MILLS PUMP came to Pittsburgh for a TeamBeachbody event in Greentree. So- like Betsy fashion- I mentally prepped myself last night, laid my clothes out, set three alarms, and was ready to do this!
I had never done a BODY COMBAT workout before so I didn't know what to expect. I have done other versions of Beachbody and actually thought of doing this after my current program of T25. After today- YOU BET I am going to do this workout!
I wore my heart rate monitor just to see how I could push myself. Also- working out next to my coach was yes intimidating(sorry Mel) but also encouraging! I wanted to prove to myself OVERALL that I could do this.
So throughout the entire workout I smiled. I was so proud of myself for trying it and really kicking and punching as hard as I could. Even did some jumping kicks! Say WHAT?!?!?!
1 hour of COMBAT= 643 calories
10 minutes of Stretch/stability= 73 calories
And then we were able to have a Q and A session with them! Awesome to hear their "WHY" and background and how it got them to today. Then Joel challenged Jericho to show off her dance moves.
SO a free dance session- did about 20 minutes- forgot to turn on my heart rate monitor cause I was having so much fun!
All in all---my lesson today is----
GOAL ACHIEVEMENT and RESULTS are just on the other side of your fears!
So- don't let that bad self talk in your head win----
GO FOR IT!
