Insanity Day 5: Pure Cardio

Pure Cardio would actually be another great name for the workout series. So I was a little nervous when I put in the DVD that says pure cardio on an already cardio intensive exercise program. During our warm-up stretches Shaun T actually stated how he was nervous for the work out. WHAT??? NO! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE IT LOOK EASY AND LET ME KNOW IT CAN BE DONE!

Yeah, I was terrified going into it. But hey, I made it through and all of my limbs are still attached. Yes I took my own break periods. He actually sent people out of the workout because they were sacrificing their form so he told them to get water and come back after. Man, you know this is a hard workout when some of the most incredibly sculpted guys and girls are being told to stop because they are getting too tired.

What did I really learn from this? Even the experts get nervous about their upcoming tasks, and you know what, it's ok! You don't have to be perfect at everything to try it. You have to do your best and then keep going. That is what it's really about. If you're a surgeon, a salesman, or a janitor, you have to be willing to push your comfort zone to truly achieve something, and it's ok to be scared of that.

We can only reach our potential when we push our limits. This is me, a spear in the coals, hoping to be sharpened soon.
