I was really inspired yesterday by my women at my boot camp (Charleston Fat Blasting Boot Camp). I have seen them accomplish so much over the past few months and they continue to not surprise me but to surprise themselves.

A lot of times you might not think that you are able to do certain things, you’re too weak, too out of shape, whatever… but you just might surprise yourself! That’s exactly what these women did. They always tell me they pay me to help give them confidence, for me to believe in them when they don’t but yesterday they saw a glimpse into what I see of them all the time.
I have two specific women who 1 month ago couldn’t do a single push-up, even knee push-ups were hard. But I kept telling them just to wait and see, they would be doing “big girl” push-ups in no time. Of course then they just rolled their eyes at me and told me they were glad I believed so strongly in them… and I did!
Well guess what happened yesterday! Both of them capped off at 6 push-ups! Real, “big girl” push-ups, no rest in between! This was the point they looked up with me with an exhausted smile and said “WOW! I didn’t know I would be able to do that!”.
These ladies are inspiration to not just beginners but to advanced fitness women too… I have a new drive to push myself harder and lift heaver each time I workout. I figured if they can improve than there is no reason I can’t too and same goes to you!
Now, we are going to work up to 10 push-ups!
Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.
