Today was my first day of an exercise boot camp that I signed up for. I signed up with a friend of mine thinking that having an extra person will give me that extra motivation. I was weighed in today at 142 pounds and 32% body fat. My trainer wants to see me at 125 punds and 20-25% body fat. I honestly just want to be healthier, feel healthier and stay fit, so that goal sounds good to me. I just need to work hard over the next four weeks.
What the Friday exercises look like is there are two circles in the gym that has different exercise stations. The outer circle has over 40 exercises and is more advanced work out and the inner circle has 25 exercise and is more intermediate stations. Most of the exercises deal with weight lifting, ab work outs, and cardio. To rotate to the next station every person has to run the circle to get to their next workout. It was a hassle to run in a tight circle with over 40 people. For my first day I put myself in the advanced outer circle to see if I could push myself. It was tough, there were a lot of exercises i did not know how to do and this type of strenuous exercise i have never done before. However, after the hour long work out of constant moving, one five minute break and two minute stations, i felt like a million bucks! I had never worked out so much before. Swimming was quite a workout but this camp is not just one continuous exercise, it had over 40 exercises that caused everyone to push themselves. With the sweat dripping down my face and my heart racing, I felt very refreshed and like a new person.
