Grocery shopping used to be my least favorite chore. The crowded aisles, the crying children, the stress of figuring out what to buy and what it would cost. I would walk through the doors of my local grocery store less like a person shopping for food and more like an angry robot programmed to kill for (or cry over) the best broccoli heads.

I’d rush through the entire trip, glaring at anyone who dared to stand in the middle of an aisle looking at which brand of pasta to buy. But then I’d also wonder which brand of pasta to buy! Did everyone else know something I didn’t? Could my cart double as a battering ram if necessary? Could I hide in it if necessary? See? I was all over the place!

Hardly a surprise, I’d feel even more stressed and anxious when I left the store than when I arrived.

If this experience sounds all too familiar, you’re not alone. A hatred of grocery shopping isn’t uncommon, especially if you’re a millennial. (I am.) In my experience, the stress and anxiety that goes along with a rushed and unenjoyable grocery trip is what really makes grocery shopping a much disliked task.

Thankfully, there are quite a few things you can do to stop stressing over your trip to the store. Here are six ways I personally turned one of the worst parts of my week into one I look forward to.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
