What is that One Second worth?

I was at the gym.

My trainer walked in and announced we were to focus on SC (Strength Conditioning) today.

Every Minute Over Minute, I had to do 21, 15 & 9 reps of Step-ups, Rowing, Strict Shoulder Press and Planks.

The first set was not too bad.

The second set had me breathing harder.

By the third set, I was grunting and screaming just to make it happen.

I said, “I can’t. Can we stop?”

He cajoled, “You can do it! Go! GO! GO!”

I mustered all my strength to get by each rep.

The last was the plank.

I had to hold it for 45secs.

On the count of 15, I found myself caving.

He hollered, “YOU HAVE JUST 30 MORE! GO!GO!GO!”

I was breathing hard and the pain of holding on was excruciating after all the rowing and presses.

I was screaming, “I CAN’T”

He refused to budge, “YOU ARE DOING IT! YOU AREN’T GIVING UP ON MY WATCH!

Each second was like climbing the EVEREST.

5, 4, 3, 2, and 1!

I DID IT and he added one more SET!!

One second.

That’s all he said to focus on.

One second.

The difference between pain and GLORY.

Wish you victory in all you do!
