Today we had our first Fit Camp group bootcamp. In a single hour we ran on the treadmill, worked out hard on the Arc trainer machine, took a Kranking class and did some weight-training and abdominal exercises. Whew!
It was the first time I had run (actually it was a slow jog) since high school. I set the pace on the treadmill at 4 miles an hour (the person next to me had theirs set at 8 miles per hour) and felt slightly winded when it was over. I guess I'm not in as good cardiovascular shape as I thought I was.
One of the great things about Fit Camp is that it forces you to do things you wouldn't be inclined to do on your own (like jogging in my case). Or, taking a new type of group exercise class.
Tomorrow my assignment is to hit five cardiovascular machines (the bike, the treadmill, the Arc trainer, the eliptical machine and the rowing machine). The goal is to work out as hard as you can for 10 minutes on each machine. Afterward, Charlotte has given us some abdominal exercises to do.
I'm actually looking forward to the challange, though that might change when I'm struggling to get through 50+ minutes of hardcore exercise.
