Gifted Bodies

Petronella Tarr (Head Gifted Bodies Personal Trainer): I’m watching the weight stack; I’m counting the reps; I’m focusing my vision. I don’t want to be distracted…. I can not be distracted. I want to feel my hamstrings stretch and pull as my quads contract, feel the pull in each and every fiber as I test my limits under a weight that a few weeks ago I would have thought of as impossible.

I’m ready. I drive up through my heels. At first it feels as though I can’t move; locked under the barbell, my legs not able to lift me up and out of this agonizing bliss. But I know I have more in me because I’m not a quitter… I’m gifted.

Every fiber is beginning to whisper; first begging, then barking, then shouting at me. All of their voices are rising to a crescendo in unison; they are on fire. They burn, they scream, they plead for me to get them out of here… and that’s when I find it. Energy.

I push and something flips over the edge, something tips the scales in my favor and as my muscles work through the motions in reverse, I feel myself not just rising, but powering up like a rocket. As I get to the top, I rejoice, one down, only nine more to go. Whew at least the hard part’s over.

The sheer joy of completion provides relief. My legs tremble as I move to put the barbell down, before they give in altogether. I am completely and utterly exhausted and I am not just shaking, I am vibrating. I feel electric! I feel ALIVE…
