DEAR IN-SHAPE
When I used to think of working out, I used to dread every minute of it. Considering
I have always been an athlete, I typically was in decent shape. As an athlete, I was
always working out and doing something physical, but it was for the actual sport
and not purely for health. Therefore, when I stopped playing sports, I had no
knowledge of how to work out for myself. During this time I was at my lowest point
of self-confidence and had no motivation to work out. Since I used to be a "regular"
at the gym, I definitely know my way around but could not find my way there. One
day my sister drug me out of the house and we decided to take an Ab Blast
Class. We typically don't like to take work out classes because I was self-conscience
of my work out abilities at this point. Yet, this particular day we took that class and
I have not stopped since. This class completely changed my life and my motivation
to work out strictly for me. I noticed a difference after taking the class three times,
and became a full fledge regular. One of the things that continued to bring me back
to the class was the instructor Jessica Crawford. She was always full of excitement
and humor which made this class so much fun. She definitely has the knowledge
behind her and obviously lives a healthy lifestyle considering she is in fantastic
shape. She motivated me every time I thought I could not finish and exercise which
allowed me to push me past what I even thoughts my limits. During my athletic
career we were required to work out and often did planks as an exercise. Since
taking all the time off, I was completely out of shape when I began taking the Ab
Blast class. I was unable to even hold myself for twenty seconds during the plank
exercise. After about a month of consistently attending this class and some
instruction from Jessica, I was successfully able to finish the exercise. My entire
outlook on working out has changed along with my self-confidence which has shot
through the roof. I thank Jessica for being such a great motivator and trainer to
help me continue to reach my health goals.
