Comfort Level (low) Results (very high)
No one ever said that training was easy. At least not the kind of training that gets results - but I guess that's the point. If it was easy everyone would do it. Well, I'll tell you a what everyone's NOT going to be doing but what everyone SHOULD be doing. Seeing Lurysol. I'd been going at a pretty steady clip of working out with the team every morning at 6 a.m. and then coming back in around 5 to do some cardio or get another workout in by myself or with Todd. Call it a change of pace or call it a good amount of teasing by Lurysol herself but I found myself working out with Miss Olivera Wednesday afternoon. Now I had been holding my own against the college kids for the last few weeks (if not kicking some butt here and there) but yet again I wasn't ready for what I encountered with Lurysol. Abandoning the heavy weight and high reps that I was accustomed to Lurysol put me through a workout focused on balance. Something I'm greatly lacking. Having accomplished the first part of the workout we transitioned into flexibility and stamina. Another thing I'm missing a lot of. A combination of lunges, weight balanced movements and twists later and I was not only exhausted but embarrassed by my lack of ability to balance on a leg and lift a weight with my other hand. What's next? Rub a head and pat a stomach? Or was that the other way around. Regardless it was a great workout for those simple reasons - it got me out of my comfort zone and made me focus on things I hadn't done in a long time. A couple more sessions with Lurysol and there'll be something else that I'm missing more of... Weight!
