Thin Lizzie

Thin Lizzie—this is the name of the torture that I received on Tuesday during my training session. “Thin Lizzie” was a BRUTAL workout, this was definitely one of the hardest workouts yet!! It consisted of step back overhead lunges, a crunch ball roller thingy, and the worst of all, the bear crawl overhead push press, which is when I started whimpering like a baby. It is never a pretty site, but I do believe I looked as if I had been dragged to the depths of hell. It felt that way as well, as all my muscles were burning and shaking on the verge of uncontrollable spasms, and I was sweating profusely, hoping that she will be merciful, but she is not. I picture hell to be the same.

Kathy said that this is working my “CORE”, I think that she may have forgotten that my core is similar to a jello mass, so working something that doesn’t exsist is really hard and makes me want to cry! I do feel that I am getting stronger, but she knows and so she puts on more weight or makes me do it faster or more reps so it always will be painful (I picture hell to be the same).

Despite all my complaining, when I am done and crawling to my car, I am grateful that she is my trainer and that she pushes me harder than I would ever push myself. My weight training before Kathy consisted of hauling kids around, doing laundry, pushing the stroller, etc. Now I can do these things without breaking a sweat. And I will do the “Thin Lizzie” again and again if I can look like Liz when I am done. If you want to see and try the whole workout, go to www.fitzoneradio.com and go to the fastloss workouts, then Thin Lizzie. Let me know what you think (or if I am just being a wimp!).
