Guess what guys? I went to my first ever Saturday Morning bootcamp class. I’ve been going to Lyle’s class for quite some time, but I always go to the Tuesday and Thursday evening class. I’ve planned on going to the 7 AM Saturday class many times, but always too lazy to get up. Well on Friday, I was telling my co-worker about the wonders of the class and she agreed to try one with me. I am NOT a morning person, so I got dressed in my workout clothes before I went to sleep Friday night and put my shoes at the foot of my bed. When I got up, Nyah was still sleep, she didn’t even acknowledge that I was up and moving around. I just laughed at her simple life. When I got to class, my co-worker friend was already there. We started with the warm up exercises and then did a lap. But, not your regular lap around the track. Lyle had a speaking engagement, so we had a substitute teacher who spiced it up a little. For the first quarter of the track we did walking lunges, and then we skipped around. I wondered how in the world do children skip for fun? …The grounds crew was cutting the grass on the track field, and my allergies were so flared up, I could barely breathe. For the next portion we side shuffled, and for the last quarter we ran backwards down the track. I felt like I was about to pass out, it was already hot outside, and all the grass flying just made it worse. I struggled through the rest of the class, but my friend and I gave each other pep talks through the planks, jumping jacks, bicycles and leg lifts. After 45 minutes of struggling to breathe, we took our victory lap, which was just a tired casual stroll around the track, and finally it was over. We were both sweating and happy we were finished. She said, you need to work out for 2-3 months before you even start this class just to be able to keep up. I was running on an adrenaline high for about an hour, and then I came home crashed and took a much needed nap so that I would rested for my date tonight!
