BootCamp: Fight Day

Bootcamp is constantly challenging me, it is the first workout that I both enjoy and am a little scared of. Every single class has pushed me to exhaustion. When I reach the end there is always a mixture of feelings flooding me... one being that i'm usually unable to catch my breath and the other being that I have a burst of energy running through my system. I never knew you could feel completely exhausted and full of energy at the same time, but that is what it's like.

Todays class was Fight Day and it was insane. I hadn't been to one of those before and I have to say I both enjoyed it and hated it. However, I can say that while I'm not ready to step into a boxing ring any times soon I am a little closer to being able to protect myself if a bad situation ever arises.  Not a bad skill to takeaway from a workout program, if you ask me.

It's been a while since I posted about this part of my life, one because I don't always do what I am suppose to and two because writing after each class was too big of a commitment for me. So, that being said from here on out I'll try and post once a week about my weight loss and my experience with bootcamp. I personally would like a way to look back on this part of my life and if reading these posts encourages someone else to start making changes... well that would be a major plus.

Day Five & Six: Fit Body Bootcamp Recap

To start I have a little confession: My least favorite exercises are Mountain Climbers, Jumping Jacks and Planks. All three of these exercises make me feel like my heart is going to explode. I know with time I will get better at them but for now I LOATHE them :)

Day Five: Last night was Detox Monday and we did everything you see in the above picture two times through. I gotta tell you, my whole body was feeling it big time. BIG TIME. Because I had gone all last  week I walked into class with a little bit of false confidence. I thought I had a good idea of what Bryan and Denise had in store for us and then they brought out the list. My nerves came flying back in through the window and made me start sweating before we even started. No joke. Haha.

I was sure to take a picture of what we did because this workout is something that any of you could do at home. The key is to take as little breaks as you can. Keep your heart rate up. During a set if you need a break you should take 5 seconds. In between exercises if you need a break take 20seconds. Depending on where you are health wise you will have to push yourself at times, just be conscious of your body.

Day Six: So instead of going to the evening class tonight (because I have worship practice) I went to the 9am class. Today we did abs and arms, and boy oh boy Denise worked us good. When I got in the shower after class and started washing my hair I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to finish because I could barely hold my arms up. I upped my weights today.... maybe a little too soon. I'm not sure if my arms knew what was happening to them hahah.

As always, JUST KEEP MOVING!
