Wednesday was bring a friend/support group to boot camp with you! I asked a few people to come, but my hubby and my boss were the two that showed up and worked it out with us. It was lots of fun sharing this fitness with those that have been pushing me along the way. I am sending a small shout out to you two as a thank you for being there to support me...and burn it up! There was definitely no rest for the weary on Wednesday just because we had newbies there. We worked it out just as hard and proved that there IS PAIN with GAINING POWER!!!
Thursday we got our legs burned up something fierce! Lots of lunges, squats, running, and band walking. And of course you can forget the serious ab burning! My abs are a fire!
Friday was our last day of boot camp and therefore our timed mile again. We warmed up first and then headed straight into our timed mile. My calves were extremely tight, so is was tough to jog the whole time. I wore different shoes to try and see if my shoes were part of the culprit of the shin splints. It definitely seemed to help...less pain in the shins when running! So I jogged half and walked half of the mile, pushing myself the last bit to a final jog. It paid off definitely when I shaved off time from my original time. Then we went back down to the shelter for the pushup test. We did as many pushups, man and/or woman style, as we could do. I increased that as well! There is no rest in boot camp, so we continued our burn by doing some weight combos and some running/jumping jack sprints!
In the end, I can truly say I loved the experience. I met some wonderful women with some serious will power. I have decided to join the next boot camp as long as I get paid enough to cover it. I really feel strongly about continuing this challenge within myself. I feel powerful!
Below is my final results from boot camp:
Hey Susan,
Here are your results. You did such a great job and your results reflect that. You are truly a determined woman and I believe that you will achieve even better results in the future. You have great form and are very stong. Add all those things together and you are a force to be reckoned with. You motivate the others and give Gail a challenge (which she loves). I truly hope that you are able to join us again.
