Two weeks ago, I almost puked and it inspired this article.
My friend Noah was in town, and he invited me to join him in a special workout with some other internet dorks (that’s what I call affectionately those of us who make our living online). Noah lives in Austin, and I haven’t seen in him in a while, so although the idea of going out in public (yikes) and working out in a group setting (nope) are things I try to avoid, I figured I’d be a good sport.
Upon arriving at the gym, I walked into a room with 25 other people and an instructor who looked like he had been picked from a “good looking super jacked trainer” casting call.
What transpired was a 25-minute bootcamp style workout where we all did various things like burpees, box jumps, squats, dips, etc. There was no break, and we moved from one exercise to the next as thumping hip hop played, the training yelling louder and louder to encourage us to push ourselves.
I HATED EVERY SECOND OF IT.
I think I would rather get a root canal than go through that style of workout again. Or watch an episode of the Real Housewives of Rivendell.
Let’s be clear: I’m not saying this just wasn’t my cup of tea…
