The other day, Karen and I (fellow blogger and bootcamper), were chitchatting before or after bootcamp. When we started bootcamp nearly twenty months ago with Dana, I am sure we would have never imagined that we would be having this conversation. We were talking about running. We are both now officially training for half marathons. Yet [...] This is the Kettlebell Bootcamp Blog. And today was a Kettlebell challenge. After a long warm up, it was time for the 400 Benchmark workout – a timed workout which includes the basic movements of the bell. The last time we did this “test” was on November 24th, a little more than two months ago. I [...] The alarm went off and I thought, “Just five more minutes.” Fifty-six minutes later it was 6:46 a.m. and I was missing bootcamp! So frustrating…On Friday’s I walk with a friend after bootcamp, I got up and got that workout in but it wasn’t the same when my day is jump started with kettlebells, core [...] Last Friday after bootcamp, I jinxed myself. As we were leaving, Dana said, “You have three days off.” I gave her a look that said yea, right and she corrected herself, “You have three days off from bootcamp but remember to do something each day – you have your workouts…” I left thinking I’d do [...] Resolutions are in full force. So I avoided the gym (and the crowds) and headed to the local high school track to get a good workout in today. Fortunately, I have a notebook full of workouts from Dana and went to the buddy workout section as today I had a buddy with me. This particular one [...] The other night I was sitting there watching football – yes, my favorite time waster – well, it’s not a time waster, it’s actually a very valuable use of time, but anyway, that’s about the one thing I watch and don’t do anything else…Anyway, my outside voice actually said “I miss getting up mornings and [...] Truth is, the Post Thanksgiving Damage Control Workout was GREAT last Friday, but I have to admit, I really didn’t need it. Well, of course, I needed a workout but my Thanksgiving Meal Attack plan, and my Thanksgiving morning workout, which consisted of a five mile run and some time on the elliptical, left me [...] This morning during Tabata Tuesday, one of the movements was a “V-Up.” When we started Dana said, “Remember when we first started doing these?” Immediately I thought, “Yes, and I remember that I could barely do them.” Actually I think I said that out loud and maybe was speaking for some others, but even so, [...] The saying goes, “No Pain, No Gain.” Right? I like a little pain. Actually it’s a little soreness. It makes me feel like I’ve been working hard and I know for me, it means results. Today when I woke up, I was definitely sore. Yesterday was an awesome workout. I knew it was a good workout [...] Happy. That’s what Dana wrote on today’s workout. Well, since it’s Thursday, I think the happiness is that I don’t have to wake up at 6 a.m. tomorrow to workout but I’ll be awake by 6:30 anyway. I am now just used to getting up early to workout now. On Friday’s I am a little slower [...] |
