Yup, that's right I am not a fan of mini-bootcamp!!!! I am still in pain from this workout and here I thought things were getting better. Let me set the stage:
I rode the bike for my warm-up and then did my walking weighted lunges. Met up with Erin and she noticed that one of the machines was open (It is never open in the afternoon) so we went over and I did flying push-ups, pull-ups, and triceps pushes (twice each). Then we did some squats and what I call the fat jiggly moves.
THEN she tells me we are going to do mini-bootcamp. WHAT??????
Here is mini-bootcamp: 4 stations at 30 seconds each with a 1-minute rest between rounds (not stations--rounds). Station one: kick your butt (basically running in place trying to kick your butt with your feet), then it was weighted squats, then jumping jacks and then planks. By the time I was done with kicking my butt, I was ready for the break. We did this round twice and then came round two. This one was step ups, then bend over kick outs, then triceps lifts, and then side twists with weights. By the time I got through the second round of these I was about on the ground sicker than sick!!!
Then I rode the bike for 11 minutes before scuffling out to the car. This was the first workout where when I got home, I actually stood over the toliet wondering if I was going to throw up. I made some soup and had some crackers for supper. I am really hoping that mini bootcamp does not make another appearance anytime soon.
Erin did tell me that this was the best way to lose weight. 30 seconds aerobic exercise and then 30 second weights. So there you go. Get out the stopwatches, start the jumping jacks, lift the weights, repeat. Weight will disappear. Yeah personally I am beginning to think that the treadmill is not looking so bad :)
I did go back yesterday and do the treadmill and the bike. I overslept this morning so missed my workout. I did park further from the stores and walked after work a little bit. Tomorrow I will sleep in since I have a drive after work, but Friday hopefully the boys and I can get out and enjoy the outside.
Happy Easter everyone!!!
