Boot Camp
Just got back from “Boot Camp” at the YMCA. Chalk up the best cardio session outside of basketball that I’ve logged in a challenge. It was pretty decent - not quite as difficult as I thought it would be, granted it was PLENTY challenging! Thought there would be more endurance, obstacle, strength challenges. It was, for the most part, an aerobics class with a weighted bar. I got up a good sweat and there were things I had to duck out early on the reps. My ankle is still bothering me a bit, but it’s getting better every day. I’ll have to try the “Body Pump” class to see what all the fuss is about… I hear good things. Started off the day at the YMCA with six consecutive overhand pullups - they weren’t the prettiest, but it’s getting easier each time - only need to add four more to meet my goal of 10 consecutive overhand pullups. The bodyweight mornings goal is a bit goofy. I hadn’t planned on counting them as cardio… but it might come to that. We’ll see. I need to plan a bit better around them since I don’t want to do them on Thursday or Friday because I lift at 10am, so doing them at 7:30 has me a bit worn out for my lift where I want to be 100% - I might modify that goal to say 25 body weight routines period. I don’t see the difference lifting at 10am and then doing a body routine later in the day… it was a goal I set so that I would get up and exercise - but if I’m exercising at 10am - guess what… goal accomplished! I’ll try to stick to my original intent though.
