I had "met" a new friend at the Friday 6am boot camp and was telling her my dilemma about whether to go to the 6am boot camp because it was going to be a busy weekend. On Wednesday night she said to me "have you decided about Friday's class? - I'll be here". It was funny because it motivated me to get my butt out of bed and go.She said to me at the end now wasn't that a great birthday gift to yourself?
Then I reflected and realized it really was a great birthday gift to myself. The gift of health and exercise. Nothing else is more important for my future.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this bootcamp and it is completely pushing me to my limits. I'm realizing that with exercise a lot of it is mental and your body can do so much more than you think.
Below is a picture of one of the obstacle courses the instructor made us do - it was nuts.
It included a line of jump squats on the bosc ball, bear crawls, ladder runs, jump squats, push-ups and sits up. I participated in the course continuously for 10 minutes I believe - NUTS!! (but damn a good work-out!).
=) will keep you updated ... so far I'm down 3 pounds but still doesn't feel significant because I'm still losing the Christmas weight - boo! Regardless I'm feeling fantastic with a more regular exercise system in place. :)
