As it turns out, Jillian Michael's could learn a thing or two from my husband.
After the morning workout I did (note: it's hard to wash your hair with arms that feel like jello), I was feeling pretty good about the day. However, as someone who always wishes results came faster than they did..I decided to do the Cardio Kickboxing class last night as well.
Now, when Mark is away, I teach the class myself. And we know we teach differently. We've heard from members that Mark's class is more of a cardio workout that has everyone dripping sweat all over the place, while my classes will give them sore muscles for a few days. He works the heart rate, I do more strength conditioning. But, that six pack is not going to pop out with a lovely layer of flab over it, so bring on the cardio!
We were about 15 minutes into the class when I realized that Mark is a lot meaner than I ever thought. And every dirty look I sent him was met with a big smile. I guess he was just happy getting to boss me around for an hour. I mean, seriously, does this look like someone who's going to go easy?
I left the class thoroughly exhausted and headed home to shower. It wasn't until later that night that I realized what I'd done. In his effort to push us all as hard as he can and motivate us to move faster, punch harder and pump push-ups and crunches out, he probably didn't even realize what he had me doing. We probably did over 300 crunches during the hour! And for that, Mr. Crazy Kickboxing Instructor, I can only say thank you. :D
