Today was interesting but I had to face another fear. I wasn't prepared for this one. I should have been but it just wasn't on my radar. It's called box jumps. Well, I'm nowhere near box jumps so I get weights placed on the floor. Out of nowhere here came all my fears of my foot surgeries. I went into panic mode. Oh yeah, the trainer just enjoys those moments - NOT! I don't enjoy them either. For once, I would have rather stood on all those boxes than to have to try to do jumps. I've actually never been able to jump even as a kid. I don't really know why but I can remember as a kid in recess it just wasn't something I could do. But I know I would love to find a way for all those negative memories to be erased from my memory.
I did at least graduate to doing knee pulls up by hanging on the bar. I have no doubt they weren't very pretty but at least I tried and succeeded better at those than I did those box jumps.
Kettle ball swings are just tiring. I did check out the weight given to me (12lbs). I wanted to know where to start next time and continue to add to them.
I was told at one point I was looking at the coach as he was an alien. Admittedly, I have my moments I probably think that ;-). But in all seriousness, I was so focused on what exercise he was demonstrating and what he was saying. I really need to learn to watch the look on my face. I always get busted for the looks I give - LOL!
I know one thing for sure... I have got to start putting more into these workouts and really focus on getting the squats right and now learn to jump. I am trying but I need to try harder. Or I will always be stuck with the scaled back workouts.
I posted this yesterday on my FB page and I may have posted it also on my last blog but it's worth repeating:
It's all up to me on what all I accomplish in life.
I am my own worst enemy but
I also need to be my own best friend!
