Key points
- I’m gasping for air and covered in sweat after an intense two minutes of pad work, but between rounds there are HIIT-like exercises that range from squats to burpees.
- Now, I’m trying my best to do a sit-up in the midst of regaining composure.
- All the while, one of the impish trainers, who has been my biggest cheerleader since I stepped foot into Watchara Gym , is testing my limits.
- He smiles in the most mischievous yet genuinely encouraging way as the pad clashes against my torso once more.
- It’s the type of grin that implies “you’ve got this” while silently pushing me to improve.
