Since my first FIT class I fell in love with the program. It wasn't boring, there wasn't spending endless hours on a stupid machine, no mindless repititions of light weights for "toning" specific muscle groups. It was fun, like when I was a kid and playing in the street with my bike, or climbing the jungle gym in the park, hauling rocks and logs for the neighborhood fort. All the movement in FIT was specific and precise but there was that challenge, besting my time or repititions, beating someone else's time, pushing myself further.
I just love it.
Now it has left the gym and come home. My husband and I are building an obstacle course at our home. We have a zip line, a rope bridge, soon we will work on a wall to climb over and then there will be the balance obstacle going over a fence. All I can think about is how much fun it is going to be.
Every day after my FIT class I'm telling my coworkers and friends about it, about how much fun I'm having and they think I'm nuts. When I tell them about the obstacle course they think it's nuts and fun. They really want to try it. What a wonderful thing to do, to play and work out without feeling like you are working out.
I have given up on telling my friends and coworkers about Krav Maga, FIT and the paleo lifestyle. It's too much for them and they don't want to hear it. They do see the results and that has more motivation for them than hearing me go on and on. If I can get some to come play on my obstacle course, that would be great.
