BOOT CAMP

So if you have Facebook you know that I have been going to Boot Camp. Before I came to the US on vacation I wrote my family explaining some of my fitness goals and asked for their support while I was in America. My aunt took it upon herself, God bless her, to enroll me in Fitness Boot Camp at Pure Living Fitness center in Glendora, Ca. She got a killer deal through www.livingsocial.com. I wasn't sure what it was going to be like but i was willing to try it since she had already paid for it.
It's intense. It is exactly the type of workouts that I have been reading about in the Fitness books. Muscle confusion! You work out one part of your body then another giving the previous body parts "a moments rest". Never letting your heart rate go down though.
What do we do? This was this morning in a nut shell. We speed walked on the treadmill for 10 mintutes while the trainer talked to us about our fitness goals and eating healthy and answered questions that we have,etc. Then we used medicine balls (I think that is what they are called) and did different arm exercises just to get warmed up. You swing the ball over your head then through your legs, you twist side to side you go knee to sholder, you do a lunge and touch the ball to the ground and bring back up, etc. Then we did jumping jacks. The we did a different variation of a lunge that caught my legs on fire. From a standing position you bend,back straigh, down touching the right knee to the ground and left knee to 90degree angle. The up again. Do 15 on each side. The push ups till you can't do it anymore. Then back to the other one but jumping straight up this time. Back and forth between this and push up a few more times. Then a quick run on the trend mill then standing on a vibrator things that was CRAZY! It is suppose to help lower your heart rate faster and relax your now fagtued muscles. Then more leg exercises with jumps and squats. Pull ups with these strap things. Back and forth a few times.... It is exhausting but possible because you are switching back and forth so your legs get a rest while you are working or arms, and vise versa. Every time is different. Some times there is more focus on abs or bum and other times arms or shoulders or legs. Anyone in the Glendora area I would totally suggest trying it out. There are always several trainers and there are people of all fitness levels. They do this boot camp, ZUMBA, and personal training. It's not a gym! So it's you and only a few other people at most. You get to know the other people fast because you have encourage eachother to get through it. There is a good vibe in the room and all the trainers are their to really help you meet your fitness goals. Just wish I could get them to move to Taitung... I would make the sacrifice to go full time.
Oh, and they have a great deal for next month if you are thinking about doing it. Contact them ASAP... tell them I referred you.
