    It Burns Joe Fitness.

    It's a free fitness group here in Colorado and it's amazing. I can honestly say I have never been this strong in my entire life and it's all because of how hard the workouts are.

    Trying to be evasive and agile when I found out she was married and her husband had a concealed carry permit.

    Any training session involving deadlifts. Also known as Saturdays to me.

    Preach. For me, every lifting workout is a hard workout, because I push the limits of my strength every single time. It’s also the most fun.

    My trainer had me do a leg day and described it as having "soul crushing volume". I cried during the session and again in my car.

    That sounds *intense*. One day, when I’m strong enough, maybe I can take on something like that…

    Hardest, and most useless workout ever: go for a brisk walk when the sun is at the highest at 44 degrees C (111F) in the shade, and no shade at all anywhere. After about 3km I was dead and had to walk more slowly for the last km home. I guess I burned about 120kcal, and I'm half dead and overheated. Phew... not the best idea. I should have waited for sunset and go for a run instead.

    You definitely "burnt" more on that walk, not sure if it was calories though:)

    I don't mind long workouts. I can pace myself. What I have trouble with is shorter, heart and lung, lactic-acid fests. The worst I have ever felt after a workout was after Crossfit Open 14.5/16.5, which was 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 rep scheme of thrusters and burpees (65# for women, 95# for men). My fastest time to date is 16:11 at age 42. The second hardest workout I ever do only lasts about 1:40 and it's 500 m max effort row for time. I swear I see the face of my maker during and writhe on the ground in pain for about 10 minutes after.

    15 min run, then running the stairs in our college bball stadium (all. the. stairs). Then 20 min of erging with our coxswain "encouraging" us. Fun times.

    Mentally was the 1st time I hiked 35 miles in one day. Physically was an anaerobic threshold workout/demonstration that I was naive enough to volunteer for in college.

    14.5/16.5 definitely was right at the top of my mind. Another hard one for me was Murph and the fact that it was so long made it even worse.

    For those who don't know, Murph is as follows:

    1 mile run
    100 pullups
    200 pushups
    300 situps
    1 mile run

    Most people choose to break up the movements into smaller rep schemes to make it more manageable. But even so, it is BRUTAL!!

    The toughest one that i did was a series of body and weight exercises in a circuit. 8 exercises bench press, bicep curl, dips, side laterals, shoulder press, dead lift, press ups and chin ups. 5 circuits the first warm up. 1 minute rest in between sets.Light weight, about 15 reps each set. Killer!
