"Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps." - David Lloyd George
I learned a few lessons today. I think it's important to constantly learn, but today I learned two very important lessons that I will carry with me for a while.
First, read not just for the sake of reading, but for comprehension. The inherent danger in not reading is that sometimes you get to be surprised. For example, my failure to read the schedule at JDFT was the difference between taking a Circuit Class and taking a Hard Core Class.
Ahhh yes, the Hard Core Class. As you may or may not recall, I didn't feel really great about my first Hard Core experience. It had nothing to do with the class itself, but rather that I didn't maybe give it all that I could. Tonight's Hard Core was different. It was "Bingo", which means that I was given a sheet listing various exercises with various repetitions on them, the goal was to complete as many squares as possible during that time. I was able to complete 19 (though I will argue that being unclear on the rules, I did 50 front kicks and 50 side kicks on each leg). It was an awesome workout, and it's impossible not to own a workout that you choose for yourself.
The second lesson however is this: becareful of those things you choose not to do today, because you'll have a week of burpees to do tomorrow.
