Fifty Shades of Fitness

I always thought that if I found myself breathing heavy, flushed and there were ropes involved I would be in some sort of Fifty Shades of Grey scenario.  Turns out that was not the case.  Instead I was in my Fitness Revolution class slinging two very long and very heavy ropes while doing a squat.  Not exactly the thing dreams are made of I can assure you.

Even though I wasn’t living out some wild fantasy this fitness thing is really starting to grow on me.  I thought I would hate it.  I thought I would dread going but instead I find myself looking forward to it.  We had a new member on Thursday.  He’s twenty five and his name is Scooter.  Nick worked him so much harder than us that it makes us feel badly for him.  Not so badly that we want to do what he does but we do sympathize. He’s lost twenty two pounds in just two and a half months and he looks amazing.

For a wimp like me to be able to complete an hour of exercise is nothing short of a miracle which I suppose would make Nick a miracle worker.  He works you so hard and so fast that just when you are doing sit ups and think “This sucks!! I don’t want to do this anymore!” he switches you to a different torture technique to distract you.  Smart move on his part because a couple more crunches and I would be plotting his demise.

He uses what you are passionate about to motivate you.  Like when I asked if we could all go out for margaritas after class he suggested that I pretend the weight I was lifting was a large glass of wine. Not quite what I was looking for but distracting none the less.

Remember it’s not too late to join us for our non alcoholic fifty shades of fitness. Call Total Sports of Wixom at 248*669*9817 and ask for Nick.
