To be fair the majority of the improvement in such a short time is not due to cardiovascular fitness or strength improvements. It's mostly neural; the brain communicating better with the body, and allowing it to function with more coordination on Friday than it could on Monday.
But there's something else I see.
Pushing yourself to work as hard as we do at Guerrilla Fitness can be difficult. Especially if one of the 'guns' are lapping you like you were standing still.
That's when I see it. A little bit of 'Eye of the Tiger'. Whether you're first, last or somewhere in the middle, I can see people make the decision not to give up and give it all they have.
And it only takes a week. Day 1 is a chance to feel out what you're in for. Day 2 is trying to get your sore muscles through another round of squats, lunges and situps.
But Day 3 is something different. Now you know what you can do and as Nike say, you just do it.
Keep up the great work guys.
