What Was Your Most Recent "OH HECK NO" Moment With Fitness?

My kids love indoor rock climbing. Took them yesterday. Since I lost some weight, I thought I'd give it a try. I got up barley two hand holds and said "hell no!". It's harder than it looks!

I had sprained both wrists when I tripped during a run, and the following day I tried to get into a plank position without pressing my hands on the ground. It was awkward and I strained my upper arm slightly. It got aggravated a week later when I lifted a frying pan. The doc diagnosed it as rotator cuff tendinitis.

That was 3 1/2 months ago and I am still waiting for the rotator cuff tendinitis to heal. Physiotherapy is helping but it is still taking a long time. BAH

I loaded up a Fitnessblender leg cardio/strength workout on Saturday afternoon. Yeah...two styles of burpees AND mountain climbers in the same workout? Oh, and after that have fun with your squat jumps, then go to squats & lunges in the strength section! Yeah, no.

Of course, Sunday morning all I could think about was trying again as my thighs screamed out in pain. I love those two!

I took my first Zumba class in January 2016, as it turned out the instructor that day was standing in for the regular instructor and went easy on the class. I went home thinking, "That wasn't so bad...." Went back for the next class and had the regular instructor, who worked our butt's off!!! . Happy to say that I am still doing it, and seriously considering becoming an instructor myself!!!

Burpees

Lol. That's me. A Wednesday class I go to the instructor says a minute of burpees on the bosu and I'm, "I don't do burpees."

Tricep pushups. I used to be a tumbling instructor and I was spotting a backhandspring when my student just jumped and body slammed onto my forearms, which tore the ligaments holding my forearms to my body. So tricep pushups are extremely painful.

Burpees is always a good answer.

I have a pilates class, and recall a "hell, no" moment before doing the snake (

People on tv make burpees look so easy! Every time I'm fooled into thinking yeah I can do that. No. No I can't do that. At least right now. Maybe not ever, at least with good form.

Oh god burpees... I can do like, three (in not so good form). By then my pulse is through the roof. Meanwhile those fitness people aren't even breaking a sweat, and I'm over here pretty much dying.

The first time I did T25. There were things flapping I didn't know could flap. Awful.

HAHAHA I just started laughing out loud (sitting at my desk at work) when I read this comment. I had the exact same problem! I still have it with my thighs when doing Insanity. My husband actually asked me once what that noise was. Totally embarrassing.

Bahaha I purposely only ever did T25 when my boyfriend was out of the house. Even my dogs would come up to me and be like, "you alright?"

Donkey kick push ups.

I genuinely stood in my class and just stared at the instruction with a WTF?! expression.

That is me on some workout videos. Just look at the TV and be like, nope not doing that.

I'm going to re-read this at home tonight and memorize all these awesome comments. At work just now, I got put down by my boss, who is COMPLETELY out of shape -- one of my OH HELL NO moments. I think one of my reasons for wanting to get in shape so I can intimidate him without saying a word.

Last night I tried the Beachbody Hard Corps for the first time, and when all these amazing service members were doing burpees, all I could do was bend over and touch the floor. Ya know what? If that is all I can do, I'll keep doing it UNTIL I'M ABLE TO DO THE BURPEES WITH THEM! (Sorry for all the shouting.) Meanwhile I can't lift my legs much either. But I know it does and will get better!

The worse thing was that he was a cover instructor, so the class was completely different. Normally it is weights with barbells and dumbells. It was just you and him and a crap ton of beatdown bodyweight exercises for an hour.

Actually, now I think about it, the worse thing was that he was covering next week as well so I knew what I was in for
