Don’t give up, TRY!

Since joining RBL in January, I began a workout group at my church. Mainly because I knew at some point RBL would end and I wanted to have a jump-start on a group that will still continue long after RBL ends. Our lady who comes up with the weekly exercise is working on becoming a crossfit instructor and she works on us each week. When I walked in yesterday she had the WOD (WorkOut of the Day) written on the board. I have to say I ’bout had a stroke!   100 shoulder taps, 80 bicycle crunches, 60 air squats, 40 sit ups, 20 push ups.  You couldn’t move on to the next exercise until you complete the previous. We had a 15 minute time limit to complete the workout. My body tried to convince me “you can’t do this” – but I kept telling myself “you CAN do this” and I had a super group of ladies who pushed me through as well! When you find yourself on the verge of giving up – You gotta push yourself to keep going (and surround yourself with people who encourage and motivate you)! I honestly don’t know what I would do without my “losers” group!! By the end, I had finished strong, with 30 seconds to spare!  You never know what you can or can’t do, if you don’t try; and when you try – try HARD!!
