Boot Camp

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

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.
