Bootcamp accomplished!

As some of you may know, one of my new year's resolution was to start going to the gym - I know, such a uniqe resolution, lol. I have made this resolution every year and failed :(  but I'm happy to say that I actually stuck with it this year!!! Started off as any other year, super pumped and in the gym everyday for a week and then slowly started doing it every other day until I was going maybe once a week. Thankfully, I signed up for a bootcamp that my gym (Goodlife) was offering and it definitely helped me to get motivated and keep up my outings to the gym.


Last tuesday was my last class and I am happy to report that I kicked butt (see below). The bootcamp consisted of 10 different exercises that worked legs, abs, arms, glutes...you name it, it was worked out. Each exercise was done for 1:30 mins with a 30 second break in between each exercise. Now this may seem easy (as that's what I thought too) but once I was doing it, oh my did I kick myself for thinking it'd be a breeze. Halfway through the first few classes 1:30 mins seemed like a lifetime and I just wanted to lay down and forget about it. Once all 10 exercises were done it was time for the body challenge which consisted of two 20 second exercises with a 20 second break in between with the exercises being done 4 times. The first day this last part was not done because we were all too tired and about to die but as the weeks progressed we were pros!

Overall it was a great way to keep motivated and start my way to getting fit. I would recommend the bootcamp to anyone that is just getting started on going to the gym or someone who needs a new routine to keep motivated. Only con is that it did not last the full hour like they say, so if you're fit or used to spending more than an hour at the gym you may find yourself wanting to do more.
