I will have to say this was one of the hardest trainings I have taken so far, but in a totally different way than Body Combat was hard.
Day 2 was full of ups and downs. We started off with second presentations of our tracks, (a bit of backround; my track was # 2 is known as Core Training #1 and the song is called "Hey Hey". It is about 5.5 minutes long and full of hovers and plank pushups! ) I did pretty well as we were all fairly fresh and ready to go since it was early in the a.m. As the day progressed we did drills with the resistance tubes for quite some time (ouch!) and then we had the advanced skills drills. The advanced skills were having teams of 2 people get together and then one person was A and the other was B. The A's had to hold a hover for 5 minutes and the B's had to coach them through. I am proud to say my "A" mad it all the way to 5 minutes! I figured at that point that the B's were going to have to do the same thing, however we had a different challenge.
The B's had to put on their headphones, get into the hover position, (facing down) and teach their track verbally to our other teammate. This was so challenging on so many levels. I think I made it through to about 3 minutes or so on my toes and then had to drop to my knees for a few seconds. I got back up and did my best to keep up until the end of my track... it was so BRUTAL!
Directly after this challenge, we had to again present our tracks. Because my body was completely fatigued I didn't do as well as I would have liked, however I covered the 3 key elements we were getting "graded" on and I ended up getting a "PASS" for the module.
This weekend was so amazing - I feel stronger just having gone through it and met some amazing people along the way. Our trainer Nicole was one of the best LM trainers I have worked with, and I do hope I get to work with her again in the future.
Here are a couple of photos from the last day:
