Today I had my first ever group cardio workout at the university I attend. It was a doosey and great! We all faced a wall full of mirrors. Great right? I wasn't to thrilled. Yet, it was a great time and glade I went.
Working out as a group pushed me harder. It made me not stop and walk out of the doors, the instructor pushed me more even though she was talking to all of us. There were times where it got really intense and I wanted a longer break or even make the workout shorter but that option wasn't there. I could have left but that was not an option for me when everybody was there.
Going back to working out in front of a mirror... When I saw myself in the mirror, I saw the person I had become and was hiding from. I didn't like what I saw and felt discussed (sp) but seeing that while working out pushed me to dig deeper. I not only saw how I was today but I also saw myself in other people; what my body used to look like. This also crushed me inside but at the same time also made me push harder. Typing this is even affecting me.
