I'm back. I'm more determined than ever. I've just started my second round of Gold's Gym Body Boot Camp. Round one was a killer, by far the hardest workouts I've done in a long time! It was a class that consisted of a preassessment of a two minute count of sit-ups and push-ups, a one minute mile run, and body measurements. Then there were the workouts. Oh man. One hour classes that met three times a week for four weeks. The workouts consisted of jumping jacks, sit-ups, push-ups, mountain climbers, burpees, burpees, and more burpees. Lots and lots of cardio along weigh some weight training. Never once did I leave class without a sweat-soaked shirt! After four weeks, there was another round of assessments and measurements. Here are my results:
Some notes about my results:
Starting weight: 248 pounds
Today's weight: 238 pounds
During my pre-assessment, I couldn't complete a full sit-up. So my instructor allowed me to do crunches. I made it to 60. By the end of this series, I could do 25 FULL sit-ups for my post-assessment! (Hopefully that explains the negative reps in my results above!)
The body measurements are the hardest numbers to swallow. While I had hoped for more inches lost, I'm happy to see that body fat percentage dropping.
So here I am, 51 weeks to go until my 40th birthday. 51 weeks to reach my goal of health, happiness, and loving myself!
