OK, so I have a confession to make: although I developed some solid gym habits in the first six weeks of the challenge (pats self on the back) and was now working out three to four times per week, I still hadn't braved a cardio class at F45. Honestly, I was scared. I thought I'd be in for a hellish 45 minutes of constant burpees — so, when I was looking down the barrel at a packed week seven schedule and wasn't sure when workouts would fit into my schedule, I decided it was time to brave a Monday night cardio class. I enlisted my boyfriend to come with me, so I showed up at the gym after work prepared for the worst . . . and it was fine. I definitely pushed myself during the class, but I also made a conscious effort to not beat myself up when I felt tired and had to take it a bit slower on a couple of the exercises. I felt like a total legend afterwards, by the way.
In week seven, I worked out three times — one cardio class (pats self on the back again) and two resistance classes.
