Bootcamp

I have always felt a VERY negative connotation regarding boot camps. This idea of torturing everyone until the weakest link finishes just seems horrible.  And of course, I know that I would be the weakest link in any class.

But, Penny received 10!!! classes (with a friend) for an xmas present and it was time to start. Penny was kind enough to invite me along. (I am always asking for everyone to include me in workouts. So yes. Be careful what you ask for.) :)

Yesterday was our first bootcamp and I have to say it wasn't too bad although I can barely lift my arms this morning.

This was the workout in a nutshell:

Plank 30 seconds
Slow push up
Plank 20 seconds
Slow push up
Plank 15 seconds
Slow push up
Plank 10 seconds
Slow push up

I think we did that twice but it is all a blur.

Boxing
20 cross jabs with squat
100 high jabs
15 cross jabs with squat
100 high jabs
10 cross jabs with squat
100 high jabs

Hill runs

Jumping jacks in plank position
And then another really  hard exercise
Then....DONE!!!! :)

I did get over my fear of boot camp.
The instructor was nice.
Penny was a fun. motivating partner.

It's good to try new things.

I don't really want to go back. :)
