up until this point, I don't know that I've ever used the word "fun" for boot camp or really any of my sessions with Darin. But boot camp this morning was actually really fun. It was really rough, but still.
Becky, Me, Matt, Jennifer Champion, Jennifer Mabry, Natalie, Amber and Candice came together, and this really nice lady named Sue came, and I kinda felt sorry for her because we were pretty obnoxious. I think one of my favorite parts of boot camp was when Matt was doing the push and press, stopped, then Darin asked what he was doing and he said "taking a break". I love the honesty.
We started out outside (which, burr!) and me being the genius I am, wore my tank top. I even stepped outside this morning and said "burr bad idea!" but I didn't change. So I can't really blame anyone but myself. Anyways, we went outside and did the standard butt kickers/high knees/etc. and squats -_- Then, because the heavens smiled down upon me, we only did one dumpster run. Then, the heavens said "HA! early April fools joke" because then we did this thing where we had to get in a "quarter squat" and walk backwards, then we had to do it sideways. I felt like a complete jackwagon. Then we went inside where as usual, the real fun began. The first station was Romanian dead lifts (not the ridiculous ones I did yesterday, thank God), the second was mountain climbers, then a 3 point row, burpees (ugh), push and press (I can't with those. there really just aren't words), and "split squats" which, lets call a spade a spade, those were lunges. He had numbered all the station and somehow, at the end, 6 out of 9 people were doing mountain climbers at the same time. I really don't know how that happened. The push and press was with these bars this time, and each bar was weighted differently, and somehow I ended up with the heaviest. I did approximately 5 of them in like 40 seconds. Not only had I already done push and presses yesterday, that bar was approximately 492 times heavier than the weight I used previously. After we went through everything twice, which let me just add, 10-15 seconds is not a break. It's enough time to THINK you're going to be okay, then you realize it was a cruel joke. But after we did 2 normal rounds, we did a 3rd, but we didn't have to do everything twice. It was just once. Though, when Jennifer and I were doing burpees, he yelled "switch" halfway through, for the people who were doing like the 3 pt rows/"split squats" on one side, and I thought we were changing stations, then Jennifer was like not yet! and I didn't know what to do, so I just yelled "what is happening?!" I think I got 3 "burpees" which, lets be clear, mine are so sad. but I tried and I think I'm supposed to think "and that's what counts". It isn't what counts. Haha, Natalie was complaining about how heavy the weights were for the 3 pt rows, and Darin said something like weights are supposed to be heavy, and then Jennifer said "that's what I tried to tell my doctor" hahahahaa. We were doing the split squats and I think it was a 10 second break between sets, and Jennifer said something along the lines of "make every 10 seconds count" or something like that, it was very inspirational at the time. After all that, we stretched. I dont have the best balance, and I told Jennifer Mabry if I fell over, it would be like a domino effect and it would have been epic.
I cant tell if my hair is still wet from my shower this morning before boot camp, or sweat. I think I'm going to take another shower. Also. I think we all know when I write stuff like this, I really dont have any shame, so you as a reader of this blog should know that my butt muscles are absolutely killing me. I went to subway after boot camp, the one in weaverville, and I walked up to the 4 steps and I took one step up, realized that was a terrible idea, and walked up the handicap ramp. At least I was walking up an incline :) I prefer to put a positive spin on things when it benefits me and my lazy. speaking of. It's that time again. by that time I mean nap time. Tune in Monday for another installment of "is she ever going to shut up?!". Spoiler alert; probably not.
