This morning we had our first full-hour workout session. It was pretty great, actually! I was working hard, my muscles were burning and my heart pounding. Pretty much all the exercises use your own body weight, which makes the circuit easily replicable at home -- especially if you have resistance bands (which conveniently come in the goody bag you get!). I really like that, since that means I now have a new way of doing a workout at home when I can't make it to the gym or simply don't feel like trekking to Manhattan from Queens on the weekends. We did tons of push-ups, all different ab and back work, tons of variations of squats and lunges and a low weight, high-rep upper body circuit. We kept moving for the full hour. Great way to start the morning!
Also, I should mention that in addition to the bootcamp workouts, I've been keeping active on my own! Here are the highlights:
Monday: bootcamp + 10-min run (AM); 30-min cardio intervals (PM)
Tuesday: 45-min spin class
Wednesday: my first ever, self-created circuit! I did the following circuit 5 times:
2 minutes jump roping
30 step-ups onto the bench
20 tricep dips off the bench
20 thrust-ups
15 push-ups
rest 90 seconds
Each full circuit took 10 minutes, so I worked for 50 minutes. Then, I did a mini ab routine (which I did with a 16 lbs medicine ball):
25 crunches with toe touches
30 russian twists (legs off the ground)
20 leg raises (straight leg)
Thursday: 15-min run, then 60-min session with my personal trainer
Friday: bootcamp (AM), 60-min pole dancing (PM) -- please don't be fooled: pole dancing is an intense workout! You're lifting your whole body weight!
Saturday: I'll be at the 9am Central Park Bootcamp class with a friend of mine!
