Risk vs. Reward

The anticipation of 20 minutes of pure exertion can cause anxiety in the few seconds before "3-2-1, GO!!"  Knowing a workout may have some exercises that you find difficult may raise that.  You risk looking less than graceful, slow, or even clumsy.  You risk being sore after a particularly challenging workout.  The group environment helps mitigate much of the risk, but you still need faith that putting your ego on the line will lead to positive results.

The other end of the equation is reward.  You bask in the post-workout glow, knowing you just gave it everything you have.  You congratulate those around, both those faster and slower.  You do 3-5 workouts per week and start to feel better.  Your lean muscle mass increases.  You naturally start to selecting better food to eat.  You sleep better.  Your confidence in everything you approach increases.  You are rewarded with a more capable version of yourself.
