    I'm doing a boot camp workout right now. Hands down the hardest thing I have ever done.

    It has all of what y'all are describing - pain, sweat, buckling legs, hitting the wall, marathon time expending energy, passing out.

    Well, if we're talking about self imposed pain/ med pain.

    I walked two miles with testicular torsion caused by trauma. I can haz cookie now.

    Giving birth, for sure.

    Swimming a mile without having worked up to it, really. I lifted myself out of the pool, but needed help getting to standing...then I ate a lot and slept. It was dumb, but I was a young teen.

    Running. And I've just started.

    It's hard to say... A lot of workouts are really hard, but get easier as you do them more. I think pole has been the most challenging for me. I'm not gargling my heart or anything like that, but it's really bloody painful (I'm talking bruises, broken skin, and blisters painful) and you can struggle for a long, long time with moves before you get them, which can be really demoralising.

    Did a leg workout with a trainer who was sadistic.

    Leg press
    Squats
    Half-squats
    Calf raises
    Farmers walks
    Deadlifts
    Leg curls
    Hamstring curls

    All with heavy weight (5 reps max for 3 sets) and ZERO rest in between. In between each set he would have me do 30 high knees, jump down and do 50 bicycle crunches, roll over and do a plank for 1 minute then get up and do another set.

    That is 1,200 bicycle crunches incase anyone didn't want to do the math.

    I threw up twice (once on myself driving home) after that workout and laid in bed sick all night. Honestly opened my eyes to the dangers of overtraining and using common sense. I should have said no or stopped but I didnt. Quite frankly I'm lucky I didn't get rhabdomyolysis.

    sounds like a not very smart trainer to me. Why 1200 bicycle crunches?!?!? There are so many more effective exercises. Also seriously that is a dumb workout. You could go heavier and be way more effective if you actually rested between sets. That's definitely way over training and I am an overtrainer so that says a lot

    He pretty much knocked my "plan" that I'd been doing alone for 6 months because it's a "generic body building plan" and I "wouldn't get to lower body fat percentages" unless my plan was "higher intensity" focusing on a consistently "elevated heart rate".

    I was prepping for a bikini show and was 17%BF. I don't think the bicycles were anything special other than making me consistently in the 180's on my HRM.

    I take a Spartan training class- At least once a month I come home and say it was the hardest class ever. So far I have only done the Spartan Sprint but am looking to the Super and the Beast to complete the Trifecta.
