That last set of exercises you barely got through? You’re going to do them all one more time.
You can do anything for 20 seconds!
Normally said while on a third set of burpees. Also, ummmm…..no. Sometimes you can’t.
Yes, there’s a finisher today.
This means that even though you’ve already done a kajillion burpees, overhead presses, and the special hell known as band jacks, you’re going to be subjected to five more minutes of intense exercise.
Just a little over two years ago my life changed when I took up the sport of speed skating. It also made me realize how out of shape I was. The once a week classes literally left me breathless. Three laps around the track and my legs were burning, five and I couldn’t catch my breath. I couldn’t even finish a 13 ½ lap race—by lap 9 or 10 I’d have to slowly make my way to the centre of the ice and watch the others finish.
