🔥 How I Survived Another Les Mills GRIT Cardio Session with André Godinho
I did GRIT Cardio today. This is Les Mills’ most intense class for me. No, wait… there’s Sprint… no, wait, there’s Power Jump… no, wait, there’s Body Attack, Combat, Step… no, wait… you get the point… 😏😁
Today, I went back to where my GRIT journey began—with André Godinho 🤩! More than a year ago, I asked him if it would be a good idea to try it because it seemed so intense. I didn’t think I could do it. I was literally scared, but SO curious… 👀
He told me I could give it a try and pace myself. With time, it would become easier. And he was SO right. I tried GRIT Strength and Athletic, and I liked them.
But then came the day to try GRIT CARDIO. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I was REALLY scared 😅. And it was SO INTENSE! André prepared a super fun class with games. I had a great time, lost my fear, and actually enjoyed the workout. But by the end—OMG—I was so overwhelmed that I forgot my water bottle in the studio. I didn’t even know what had happened to me 😅, but I was SO proud of myself.💪🏾
Fast forward to today, and it was so fun again! André was super cheerful and prepared another awesome class for us! Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like these intense class instructors always have a wider smile when they see us arrive. It’s like they know they’ll have fun… watching us… suffer…😁
We jumped, we burped… Hahahaha! I mean, we did burpees (relax, people, it was a joke 😁), mountain climbers (OMG those 🥵), skaters, pushups, and so many more… torturous exercises 😅.
And what about the GRIT lady (that awesome voice)? The first time I went to this class, I was such a good student that I would only stop when she reached number ONE. But then, I immediately started copying others who stopped as soon as she began the countdown. Sometimes, following the crowd is the way to go 😅.
I usually find core exercises tough, but in GRIT, they’re a breeze. They always mean the suffering is almost over 😅.
What an awesome class: full house, André was INCREDIBLE 🔥, and I can only say—I feared it, I faced it, and I conquered it! GRIT CARDIO never gets easier, but I get better! On to the next! 🔥
