So much to do, so little time

Our Fit Camp assignments vary from assignments that can take two hours to complete to one-hour workouts and an occasional day off.

Today it's a killer: A 6:15 a.m. Krankcycle class; a four-mile walk/jog/run; four rounds of the "Fish" game on the Concept 2 rowing machine; and an upper body strength-training workout.

I have to skip the Krankcycle class because I have to wait until my kids are at school to workout. That means that tomorrow--- on what would have been a day off --- I'll be taking a 7:15 a.m. Spin class to make it up along with a Kranking class on Monday morning.

Still, I make it to the gym by 8:15 a.m. and manage to squeeze in the other exercise before heading to work. I'm dragging because yesterday, after my Fit Camp workout, I decided to get more exercise in while my kids had their swim lesson. I completed 10 laps back and forth the pool, trying to fine tune the proper kicking techniques Charlotte showed me yesterday. After her lesson, my oldest daughter hopped in the water alongside me and we did a few laps together.

Fit Camp is teaching me to squeeze in exercise wherever I can to fit my schedule. No more, "I don't have time to exercise" excuses for me.
