That is all I really have to say.  I have taken a boot camp class at my gym and I absolutely loved it.  It was Tuesday and Thursday this week.  The class was held by a former body builder and she was amazing.  She was encouraging without being harsh.  I am still fairly overweight and so this class was certainly rough for me.  I made it through though and boy do I feel great.  I have been sore all week from the class and I look forward to allowing my body to recover over the next 2 days.  I say 2 days because I won’t be able to go to the gym because of Tony’s schedule.

The class was 35 min long and it is almost non-stop cardio, strength training.  Seriously there are parts of my body that are sore, that I have not worked in, well maybe ever.  On a personal note, maybe even TMI, but there is a lot of jumping around that I felt I could participate in more except my chest kept me from doing so.  I had to wear 2 sports bras and still was mildly painful to jump around.  Some of the other exercises were tough because it hurt my knees.  But overall I made it through the 35 min tough class.

They were giving these classes at my local Snap Fitness.  Oh man, I can’t say enough about this place.  All Snap Fitness’ are individually owned and I can say the owner of ours truly wants to make hers gym a pleasant experience.

The gym is one of the cleanest I have ever been to.  It is a 24 hr center which is great for Tony and I, especially with school starting in a couple weeks.  We may be working out in the wee hours of the night.

Not that I go but that have a tanning option.  They are staffed during the day which it seems a good deal of other Snap Fitness’ are not.  We went to one when we visited IL and OMG, it was SMALL, dirty and not staffed.  Which meant while we were there 3 punk kids came in and were just being obnoxious.  It was a bit distracting.

So the recent thing our Snap did was offer a boot camp class.  It was Tuesday and Thursday this week and I think they did it to just get a feel for how many people would be interested.  Unfortunately each class only had 3 people but we are blaming that on the summer and the fact a lot of people may be on vacation.  I am really hoping this becomes a regular class.  Or like Lisa, the trainer, was saying in the fall they may do a 12 week class.  That would be AWESOME.  Unfortunately if it costs money I won’t be able to do it.

Anywho, I feel amazing and can’t wait to see if I lost weight and/or gained any lean pounds this week.  Wish me luck getting through the next couple days too.  My legs are arms are killing me! LOL!!
