Can I ask you a question?
I want you to think about it before you answer.
How are your workouts, really?
Are your workouts uncomfortably-comfortable? Uncomfortably-comfortable is when you know you could work harder. It’s when you reach for the same set of weights workout after workout, when you set the elliptical to the same setting every trip to the gym, when you take the same path on your run time and again. It’s when you’re going through the motions. Checking your workout off your to-do list or punching the clock.
Or, are your workouts comfortably-uncomfortable? Comfortably-uncomfortable is when you are indeed pushing yourself…you’re breaking a sweat, you’re feeling strong, you’re almost out of breath. On a scale of 1 to 10 you’re cranking out a 6 or 7. But. You’re still comfortable.
Or, are your workouts Uncomfortably-Uncomfortable? Uncomfortably-uncomfortable is when you’re having your Rocky moment. You’re pushing yourself harder then you ever thought possible. You’re chasing the burn instead of stopping when you’ve reached it. You’re workouts are uncomfortable but you leave comforted knowing you stepped into the seldom talked about and seldom reached: UNcomfortable zone.
Are you reaching your potential? If not, what are you going to do to change zones?
