Today marks the end of my third week on my 90-day challenge. I've done really well so far, although I'm a little surprised at the results. I've only lost about 5 pounds, even though my clothes are getting looser and my body feels stronger. By BMI has come down a little bit, so I must still be gaining muscle. With the kick-ass exercises I've been doing, I'd better be gaining muscle.
On Thursday, I agreed to go with a friend and coworker to Boot Camp at my gym.
This intense, full-body workout proved to be one of the hardest hours of exercise so far. After a "warm up" (which was not easy), there were five stations set up around the room. Some had weights; some had steps; and one was open floor. At each station, each participant was asked to perform an activity for 60 seconds. Then, you'd move on to the next activity for sixty seconds until everyone had done all five. After a break, we did it all over again, this time for 45 seconds. Then, we started a second set of rounds with totally new activities.
Some of the exercise activities were putting a barbell on your shoulders and doing lunges, squatting and then leaping onto a step, running sideways, burpees, shoulder lifts, and more. We ended the class with about 10 minutes of abdominal work.
Although the class was very intense, I felt like I really got a lot out of it. Boot Camp mixes interval, cardio and strength training all in one class. I'm not intimidated; I'm going back. Be healthy!
