As some of you may know, I did a month long boot camp fitness program these last few weeks. It involved a lot of running and interval-style cross training. I did it three times a week for an hour at 5:30 in the morning. The first day was totally brutal and I wanted to die (right after I caught my breath that is). I’m under the impression that running should be reserved for life or death situations only so needless to say I was questioning the whole thing when the first words out of her mouth were “Let’s start with a short lap.” I struggled through that lap and most all other things we did that day. The first week I could hardly move my arms, bending or extending them was painful since they were so sore and I'd cough and wheeze for hours after class. Eventually, however, my endurance and strength started to improve and I didn’t totally dread it anymore. In fact, I did the unthinkable and signed up for another month that began today.
I'm happy to report that while it was certainly hard, I noticed a huge difference between this session's first day and last session's first day. I'm feeling pretty good about this whole thing now and would recommend this type of fitness class to anyone considering it.
