On Leslie pushes you until you vomit

So this post should go before my last post but I forgot to do it in order. So we went to the gym one night, it was probably a tuesday or wednesday because that is usually when we go to the gym. We got on the treadmill which is either good or bad. This time it was not so good. We got on the treadmill and started walking. We moved it to a 10% incline, those of you that think this isn't so bad have never encountered a Leslie work out at a 10% incline. So we started out walking at a 10% incline at a speed of 2.5 or 3, but then leslie starts to move it up to 4, then 4.5, then 5. We ran at a speed of 5mph for like 30 seconds to a minute, then we went back down to 3 for 30 secnods then back to 5, then to 3 then to 5. So we did this rotation for like 5 or 6 times and finally I asked Leslie how many more we were going to do? To which she answers not very many, and I ask her for a real number, and she says 3. Then I ask if that is a realistic number, because sometimes I ask how many more and she will make up a number so that I stop asking. She told me it was a real work out. So after I asked instead of running at 5 for a minute, we moved it to 6. I was having a hard time breathing at this point, because sometimes I forget to breathe while we work out. Some of you might think that the work out doesnt seem tough, well I challenge you to do it and let me know. So before this we had done lunges at a 10% incline for a long time. So eventually we are like on our last set and I couldn't finish it. I had to get off the treadmill. I all of sudden felt like I was going to puke. So I told leslie that I need to go to the bathroom, which I proceeded to vomit once I got there. So if you ever want to know if it is a good work, it isnt' good until you vomit! I love you Leslie and thanks for pushing me in working out

On Leslie's Killer Workouts

So I have recently started doing Body For Life with Leslie again. So not only do I eat six times a day, but I also get to do work outs with Leslie. When Leslie goes to the gym she means business! I love going to the gym with her, because we don't mess around. We go there for a purpose and there is no slacking. So a week ago we went to the gym to work out. I wasn't really motivated to go to the gym that day, so i knew that was a bad sign to begin with. We get to the gym and Leslie gets us on the tredmill and we start with a slow jog. That was the only good part of the workout. Shortly after that we go to jogging at 4 mph, then 5mph, and then she wants me to jog at 6mph. So some of you probably think that 6mph isn't very fast, but have you tried running at that speed. It is not very fun!!! At 4.5mph my side was starting to hurt, but she kept having me jog reminding me to breath and not get frustarted. I did well for awhile, but once we hit 6mph i couldn't breathe my side hurt so badly! I then proceed to start crying while I am running which makes me side hurt even worse. So I eventually had to stop running while she kept going. Needless to say I didn't finish her workout that day. Before that though we were doing lunges at an incline which aren't very fun. So that is just one of the many times of the Killer workouts
