Bootcamp Tuesday

Last night at bootcamp was AWESOME!!  Tina had stations set up and we did them with partners.  The first one Sam and I did was hurdles, but we jumped over them (forward and sideways).  Some were short and some were taller.  The next station was head to head pushups with a weighted ball pass.  Next was four cones and we had to run around them.  One side of the square was backward, then shuffle sideways, then run forward, then shuffle the other way, and repeat.  The next station (the first time around) was both partners on a bosu ball  , squat and then chest pass a weighted ball.  After that was box jumps on a step (I hate these, but strive to better myself each time I do them).  After the box jumps was a rope that Tina had tied between a light poll and the dumpsters and we had to bob and weave with an upper cut under the rope.  We repeated all of that twice and then she switched up a couple of the stations to include some other exercises.  About half way through class the owner of Willowbridge came and said we had about 35 minutes before the high winds and hail arrived, so we pulled all of the equipment inside and finished up our core workout with some team stuff.  The WHOLE bootcamp was a blast!  The outside stuff made it feel like less "working out" but I was sweating my butt off and breathing hard and my muscles were aching, it was awesome!  When we went inside it was just fun to do stuff together.  We were each on a yoga mat in a circle and we did some plank drill type things....everyone holds plank and we took turns doing push ups like a wave at a stadium.  Then we held elbow planks, then side planks, back planks and the other side planks.  SPEAKING OF......during my side planks Tina said "Becky, can you stack your feet?"  I said "no!" and then guess what?!?!?!?  I DID IT!!!!  The first time ever I was able to stack my feet in a side plank!  It was great!  Oh and ssssshhhhhh don't tell Tina, but I got on the scale this morning....222!!!!  Down about 3 lbs and I KNOW I can do even better.  I really need to step up my veggies and lean protein.  I've been depending a lot on protein bars and fruit for a quick meal lately.  Oh!  And due to the storms last night and having to retreat to the basement....I got a LITTLE extra workout in.  My stationary bike was sitting there looking so lonely without a rider, so I jumped on and pedaled away :)
