Boot Camp - Day One

I meant to post last night, but time got away from me.

I am happy to report that I made it through my first day of boot camp.. well, mostly.

Intense is a word that could be used for the workout that we were given.  Hellacious could be another.

The class had nine people, which was the perfect size.  They all seemed to be supportive of one another.  I can see becoming close to this group as time goes along.

My first impression of the instructor (Doug) is that he is not as bad as I imagined.  He seems to be one of those people who will push you, but not over what you can physically do. He really knows his stuff and took time here and there to correct how I was doing things, but not in a mean way.

The one thing that darkened the day a bit was that I saw my breakfast for the second time.  Twice.  That is a sign of working hard, right?  Ugh.

I made it through 2.5 of the 5 reps, so I feel that I did well.

We will see how tomorrow goes, but I really think that I will eventually be able to do (and maybe like) this workout.

Hopefully.

Stay tuned...

You'll be glad that you've gone through this down the road. I've started an exercise class that is the hardest thing I've ever done and I curse it the whole way through.The results I'm getting, though, make it all worthwhile

So proud of you!!! Getting out there and getting some exercise is great for your well being!!! It sucks at first, but great in the long run. Stick wth it!

This is a wonderful undertaking for you. It's always hard to start a new thing like this, but once you get into it, I'm sure you'll get a lot back out. Yay you!

Awesome JP! I'm glad you posted about it. I was wondering about those boot camp comments on Facebook.

Boot camp sounds new to me. I am also excited for my Winter Camp.
