Thursday, March 4, 2010 Workout

Yep, I'm still on vacation, but, like I said, I committed to wake up early to go to boot camp anyway. Glad I did, today was a good workout that kept us moving!
We started with a light cardio warm-up doing:

• jogging
• butt kicks
• skipping
• side taps
• shuffling

Then we moved into working the muscles...
It was a TRX day but there were 22 people there and there weren't enough TRX straps (that's WAY more than normal....I remember times when there were 3 of us!). So, we split into two groups and while one group worked specific body parts on the straps, the other group did free weights on the other end of the room. We did a tiny bit of legs (just 30 lunges actually) and then we worked mostly our upper body doing lots of reps of the following:

• shoulders (tons!)
• biceps
• triceps (I burned out on this one)
• chest
• back

The pace was steady and we kept moving throughout which is good because sometimes when we only do TRX and there are a lot of new people, the pace can get a little too slow. I liked days like today where I can keep my own pace!

Tomorrow morning I leave for Atlanta so I won't be back to boot camp until next Thursday. I would normally be nervous to be gone for that long but I'll be in Atlanta with my friend Aaron who has committed to working out with me a few times. Since he's in MUCH better shape than me, I'm sure I'll get pushed just as much, if not more, than at boot camp.
