You want me to what???

Ever push yourself beyond your comfort zone....I mean REALLY push it? If we followed the advice on a Lu Lu Lemon shopping bag, we would be doing 1 thing per day that scares us....among other words of wisdom to follow. Well, I usually pride myself in pushing to the limit but of course, I think we all do within our own comfort zone. We tell ourselves that little extra bit is a real push when in fact it might just be a nudge. Don't get me wrong, there is no shame in that. After all, we progress or run the risk of being stagnant! Well tonight I was pushed into a definite non comforting area when my Crossfit instructor took one look at the kettle bell I had carefully selected for tonight's metcon andToledo me to put it back and get the heavier one. I dutifully listened of course, jokingly asking if she was trying to kill me lol. Her answer rang true....we will only grow and progress if we push orpurselves beyond what we think we are capable of...only then can you see true gains. After all, the athlete that's lifting that heavier weight got there because they pushed themselves out from a lighter one. Makes sense and while tonight's metcon was hard, I have to admit she was right. I proved it to myself while at the same time, reminding me of why enjoined this gym in the first place.....to push and test my limits!
