I have a challenge for you...

Okay, really I have TWO!


The first challenge hit me during a workout session after seeing this quote. I fell in LOVE with it and it immediately became my new mantra. But initially I was just considering it in regards to my journey as a whole. Like, what will I look like 6 months from now if I stay on track all that time? BUT then it hit me.

What would happen if, in the middle of a tough workout, I didn't listen to that voice in my head who tells me, "You have to take a break otherwise your arms are going to give out." You guys know what I'm talking about...that agonizing feeling that you just CAN'T go one more rep without taking a break first. Once you catch your breath and release that burn for a sec, you'll be good to go, right? 

What would happen if you told that voice to SHUT IT and kept going anyway? 

So, this is my first challenge for you. It's what I've been doing the past couple of weeks and 3 things have happened for me:
1) I realize I'm stronger than I give myself credit for.
2) I'm more sore than ever.
3) I'm noticing faster changes/progress in crushing my workouts AND in pictures/the mirror. (And that's what really counts, right? ;) )

CHALLENGE #1: 
When that voice/feeling comes when you feel like you just HAVE to take a break or else you'll faceplant or fall down or pass out or throw up, see HOW MANY MORE reps you can do before that consequence you feel coming ACTUALLY happens. 

Is it hard? Yes. But this is where you will gain so much more mental strength and belief in yourself that you knew was possible. When you hit that point where you usually stop for a break and this time do 1, 3, 7 more pushups? Whaaaaaat?? "WHO AM I?! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE??" Yeah... those are the kind of thoughts you'll have. And it's a pretty amazing feeling.

CHALLENGE #2:
This one I'm SUPER EXCITED FOR!!! 
WATCH: (It's quick I promise ;) )
