Day 4 of Boot Camp

Rain, rain you can stay, we worked out anyway today!!!! The ladies rocked it in spite of the weather. "I felt like a kid playing in the rain." (Ms. Barb) We had a great time and still got our workout on. It's called dedication.

The tennis courts set the perfect scene for our warm-up and workout. We splashed in the puddles, did horse leg squats, did single leg slides, circled up and did high knees, and we felt great! Kim almost kicked me in the forehead because she was feeling so good.

However, I think we all felt the need to stretch and get the kinks out. Heidi, I totally appreciate the suggestion because it was confirmation to what we already planned. Thanks! We know how it is to go, go, go, and eventually feel the need to slow down. Therefore, we ended the workout fifteen minutes early to make time for stretching.

We met under the pavilion, strategically placed our mats, and found every kink we could get to. The tension almost immediately released as we began. It warranted a few oh's and ah's, and we even found a muscle Julie had been trying to figure out how to stretch. I hope this helped ladies because tomorrow is the final day in week one and we want to feel the burn over the weekend.

To those of us who made it back for session two this evening...Give 'em one! Hoorah!!!! Ashley made us climb hills and do frog jumps and push ups. Matrecha had us on the climb- running the bleachers, doing push-ups off the bleachers, and completing tricep dips. We had to do more than she planned because we had a cheater or two in the evening group. Our guest visitor was one of them. My honey, Keith, joined us for the evening session today. We love the eye candy, but the cheating means we have to do more because we are a team and we have to do it until we get it right. Hoorah!!

Overall, today was awesome! The sun shined and bid us good morning as we finished our final stretch, and as the evening sun set we were chanting- Be the best me I can be! I would say we are well on our way.

  3. HoooRah!! Today was indeed a great day! I just wanted to share that you all are inspiring those around you....your instructors, your co-bootcampers, and even perfect strangers! After everyone left bootcamp this evening, I had a woman run over to my car from the tennis court to get information about our group. You are making a difference in your own lives, as well as others.....each day you are one step closer to your goals -- "Be the BEST me I can be!" Okay, just one more time -- HOOORAH!!!
