Teammates

For awhile I never wanted to work out with anyone. In the summer while getting ready for the hockey season I would only go on a run by myself. Feeling as though i could do it myself, i can push my self. But today I found that that might not always be the best to do. Today's workout was hard and honestly while in the workout I didn't care if I finished or not I just wanted the 20 minutes to be over. But as the last minute rounded down and with all my peers cheering me on I found something in my self, the need to finish this workout. Maybe not for those watching but to prove to myself that yea it may be hard in the moment but it only helps in the future. Today I found two things, the true meaning of how your body can take so much more than what you ever thought and that having people cheering you on can truly fuel you back up and give you the want to finish. After the workout my body ached and I wanted to throw up but my mind was happy. If I didn't finish that workout in the time I did with 8 seconds to spare I think that would have truly devastated me.
If someone came up to me today and asked me why they should take this class I wouldn't say to get in great shape but for the unity of the group you are working out with. Everybody has a tough time, a weakness they have yet to overcome and to have someone cheering you on is truly something great and that is what is going to live with you forever. In a regular PE class there are so many people but in this class because it is smaller it had you motivating the peers next to you. So yea the class may be hard but truly worth it inside and out.
