Have you ever cried during a workout?

I did my first day of JM's 30 Day Shred and about half way through circuit 2, I started balling. I'm not sure why. I just felt this wave of emotion. I've never wanted something so bad (getting healthy) and it just somehow hit me like a wrecking ball. I finished the workout, even though it about killed me- I finished the work out.
I'm just wondering if anybody else has had this happen?

Your DOING it! It feels so good inside to know what we are capable of. You can do this and we shall watch!!!!

Only when I was going to the gym after a break-up.... I'd cry and think, "he'll be sorry!" :happy:

I did when I completed my 1st 5K! I was running the Livestrong challenge and completing it WITHOUT walking and for my aunt and grandma was an emotional task. I cried and then realized alot of ppl would see me so I sucked it up. LOL. I think it's our emotions FINALLY leaving our bodies and us becoming healthier whithin.

i have cried, sometimes because it hurt, sometimes because it was over, and sometimes because i thought i never could do something and i did.

I haven't actually cried but I've cried out and said the f-bomb A LOT! Particularly during the first week of Insanity. Actually, now that I think about it, I remember cursing Jillian too when I started Shred. My husband laughs at me, but stays out of my throwing range

Edited to add: I take it all back! I did cry and it wasn't that long ago. I was on the ellip. and this one song came on and it was about Eminem losing somebody and how he knew they were watching over him. He said he knew he could accomplish anything because he had a guardian angel. It made me think of my dad, and my journey and how he always believed in me like no one else had. I was killing it on the elllip, with sweat and tears running down my face, and I decided right then that I would run a marathon for my dad.

I have no idea how I didn't think of that first!!!

I lik this one! :laugh:

When I finished c25k I had tears in my eyes because I was so excited that I actually did it and it felt amazing!

I admit it! I cried during spin class. It was soooo hard and I wanted to get through that class so bad! I was sweating my *kitten* off and started crying when it hurt so bad, but I wanted to keep going! Was a GREAT feeling to get through that ! Great feeling of accomplishment.

Keep up the good work girl!

I have cried from emotion build up... from either the death of my mother or my hard marriage then the divorce. I find working out theraputic in many ways!

never cried , I dont think even close but nearly spewed a few times.

Yes I always wanted to do a half marathon and found myself at the finish line cring from tears of joy

I cried after doing the 30 day shred also. But I felt like I released alot of stress. The next time I did it I didn't so i think it our way for our body to release all of our pent up energy

Thank you for posting this. Now, I don't feel like an idiot.

This is why I workout at home, INSIDE, where no one sees me!! I've cried due to the emotions of being able to finish a workout I thought I'd never do. I've cried wishing my parents could see what I'm accomplishing now...they'd be so shocked! And, because I workout at home, I watch tv when I do the treadmill or bike...those damn ASPCA commercials with all those poor animals!! I swear they purposely time it for me to see them!

Oh, I've also cursed Jillian, as well. I was so ready to kill that witch when I started 30 DS!! It's a wonder I didn't break the tv or pitch the DVD! haha

For those reasons, I don't even dare venture to go to a gym. So, major kudos to those of you who are much braver than I am!!

Btw, those of you who use the bikes...how do you do it?! Every time I end that one, it looks like I've peed myself!! I'd be mortified if I was in a gym!! lol

I cried after I finished my first tri in October.

The previous December, I vowed to lose 45 pounds. Once I hit that goal in July, I wanted to pick a new goal and settled on the sprint triathlon. I can't tell you how many times I felt like the fat, uncoordinated kid in school. I can't recall exactly how many times I was picked last for sports, but when I think about it, the pain still feels fresh.

As on the last half mile of the tri, all I could think about were all the people who doubted me or made fun of me over the years. My parents, sister, aunt, uncle and cousins were all at the finish line cheering for me as I came in. When I turned the last corner and saw them standing there I thought about how they'd seen me transform from this awkward chubby kid into a motivated woman who they could be proud of.

The tears started flowing as I put my foot directly down on the timing mat. I claimed it was sweat running down my face and kept smiling despite how overcome with emotion I was. It was easily the proudest moment of my life so far.

As Tom Hanks said in that movie, "There is no crying in baseball"..

This applies to working out too

LOL!!! Great post!!!
