No Pain No Gain…

Yesterday I woke up in pain. Not just any pain, self inflicted pain from a exercise class. 

Now I love classes at the gym, throw a spinning, body fit, pilates, fit ball class at me any time and I love to take part but this class was different. A 20 minutes class called meta fit, how hard could it be!?! 

I know I will book a hours yoga class for after I thought’ to get some workouts in. Usually the classes are always busy, after one class people stay in for another but not this time. I should have known then when everyone started to pile out the class. Hay ho there was only 3 of us. 

‘Have you ever done this before?’ the fitness Instructor asked. “no never” I said. Oh right, she said “all you have to do is remember it is only 20 minutes long and keep this in your mind“. I should have ran then when I could, lol. 

The next 20 minutes was the hardest I have ever worked out in my life. From star jumps to laying on the floor, bends squats to running on the spot, with only 8 seconds rest in between was the toughest workout I have ever done. In a sick kind of way I loved it and will be looking for this class again. Yesterday and today I hurt, hurt so much. I am kinda proud of this pain, as they say ‘no pain no gain!!’ My family think it is so funny how I can’t walk from 20 minutes exercise…Hehe…

    My hubby does Insanity and T25. He's doing T25 right now, but it sounds very similar! 20 minutes is all you need. I really need to start working out again. Friends and I did (walked) a half marathon 3 weeks ago and I've been recovering. But, I think it's time again!
