Seriously...why can't I be the one in the office who goes for a 11-mile run and sprints the last half mile (Julie and Laura). I know you have to work up to it, but come on, I have been in this program for almost 12 weeks now, and one thing is for sure....I still hate running. I can do cardio equipment all day, but tell me to go run a lap, and I will mumble and groan the whole time and walk some of it. The pounding on the knees and cramps in the calves, just kill me.
So, we are almost done.
As I was doing my walking lunges with weights today, I was reminiscing to myself about the first week and the magnitude of lunges we had to do. I was so out of shape, I couldn't do walking lunges, I had to do one lunge and then bring my legs together, rest, then move on to the next leg. Today, I did walking lunges for 3 minutes straight with weights! It's exciting.
Our group loves the workouts so much that we are going to do a 5-week "U Call It" group workout over the holiday break. This will keep us active until the spring semester. It's exciting to be able to continue on with this group after the Fall Shape Up Program.
Although I love this program, one thing is still for sure....I hate running.
