For those who were around to remember.... a few years ago I went thru one of those bootcamp training exercise programs at my local gym . Well being the glutton for punishment that I am, one of my friends convinced me to do it again with her. 3 days a week, 5:30am training. The hard part isn't the type of exercise that we do, its waking up when my body is supposed to be asleep. > For those who were around to remember.... a few years ago I went thru one > of those bootcamp training exercise programs at my local gym .

Our running club increases each saturday run by 1 mile, and we are starting our runs now at 6am. I don't even get up that early on weekdays! I hate having 1 of my only sleeping in days taken from me... > For those who were around to remember.... a few years ago I went thru one > of those bootcamp training exercise programs at my local gym .

Keep us informed! Maybe you'll make the news again... I would love to do a bootcamp type program--sometimes nothing motivates you more than someone kicking your a.s...

Nothing like a bad bout of Upper Respiratory Infection that puts you in the hospital for a week. Oh and a Drill Sargeant inspecting what I was eating.

She runs circles around me in every aspect. This class is quite popular with over 50 people joining in on day one. It hasn't dropped off that much yet, so the PT test has been brokedn into a couple of days. My pushups sucked today. I only managed a meager 7 military pushups and 35 daisies. But I am fairly proud of my 1 mile run coming in at 9:27. I googled myself and my first time around my 1 mile starting was 10:29 and when I finished it was at 8:40. With as crappy efforts I've put into my phsyical fitness over the past 2 yrs, I'm quite proud of how "well" I did today. I'm not quite as bad as I was when I started the first time 3.5 yrs ago... but I'm certainly not as in good of shape as I was at the end of my first 6 week session then. I'm somewhere in the middle. I'm also older, and about 10lbs heavier... And in googling my old posts , I am so amazed at how many of the same people are still around. >My pushups sucked today.

(knees resting on the ground). >> >My pushups sucked today. I only managed a meager 7 >> >military pushups and 35 daisies. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >A daisy is a "girlie" pushup - one where your pivit point is your >knees, not your toes. (knees resting on the ground). Thanks -- I know about those, just never heard a name for them other than "girlie pushups" :-). I can do a few more military pushups than you, but don't think I could run a mile as fast. And I'm -- for me -- in pretty decent shape. I'll never be a very fast runner, though, I'm afraid.

I was really surprised at my lack of upper body strength that I have now. I know its from the fact that I don't work out my upper body nearly enough. I have my powerhouse legs that I'm always working on, and I blow off the upper body big time. > > >> >My pushups sucked today. I only managed a meager 7 > > >> >military pushups and 35 daisies.

I love my shoulders and legs--it's my middle that's a problem. I can do pull ups, push ups, and squats till the cows come home (or something like that). But I have not found a way--other than pilates, which no longer fits my schedule--to wittle my middle.

But my waist hasn't changed much at all! There are a lot of upper body muscles in the arms, shoulders, chest and back. These muscles become calorie hungry and will help melt fat from the mid section. Upper body and ab exercises also help improve posture which is another way to tighten up the middle. Don't mistakenly believe that ab exercises build the rolls which form the six-pack. The six-pack is already there, it's just buried below a layer of fat. Until the body fat percentage drops into the low teens, that's where it will hide.

Your belly is just about gone - and compared to last June, its a total transformation! Take off your poor self esteem glasses and you'll see a difference. :) > For those who were around to remember.... a few years ago I went thru one > of those bootcamp training exercise programs at my local gym .

Good for you!!! I LOVE running early in the morning! I go running at 5:00-5:15am 3 days a week, and sometimes it's the best part of the day. What I had to get used to was getting up a little early and going to bed a little earlier. That's the most important part; don't stick to your usual sleep time, get to sleep a little earlier. > > For those who were around to remember.... a few years ago I went thru one > > of those bootcamp training exercise programs at my local gym . Well being [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > bed a little earlier. That's the most important part; don't stick to > your usual sleep time, get to sleep a little earlier. I am not a morning person! Never have been, never will be. But I am doing my best to get to bed by 10pm on the nights I have BC the next morning. And here it is on a Saturday and I woke up naturally (without any alarms) at 7am. But even with that, and the bootcamp, I don't really come alive until after 10am. I doesn't matter how early I get up, 10am seems to be the point where my body fully awakens and I become human. Before that, its autopilot. > For those who were around to remember.... a few years ago I went thru one > of those bootcamp training exercise programs at my local gym .

I suspect I would not last for a single minute, LOL! > 3 days a week, 5:30am training. The hard part isn't the type of exercise > that we do, its waking up when my body is supposed to be asleep. That, yeah... I'm not a big morning person. SignatureCynthia 262/243/152 |
