Back To Boot Camp

Posted in exercise | 1 Comment »

I’ve been moaning and groaning that my Y doesn’t have classes at 5.  Well, one class, but they changed it to zumba, which so far doesn’t fit into the fung shui of my workouts.

But I’ve got a little boot camp back!  How?  Kids joined basketball, and their practice is right at bootcamp time!  I’m more excited to sweat than I care to admit.

Early Exercisers: How Do You Do It?

Posted in exercise | 5 Comments »

I’ve been having a big problem with exercise classes at my local Y.  My favorite class moved from 5 to 5:30, and so I couldn’t do it (need to pick up the kids by 6:30).  The one class that was at 5:00 is now changing to a zumba class, and so far I’m not feeling the love for zumba.

So if after work won’t work, how about before work?  The Y has classes at 5:30 and 6:00 am, which would give me time to exercise and get to work by 8.

I thought I’d give it a try this morning.  I was totally ready!  I had my gym clothes out, my bag packed with my clothes, towel, and shower gear.  I set my alarm.  I was doing it!

My alarm went off this morning at 5:30.  And… I went back to sleep.  Doing a bootcamp at 6 am was just more than I could imagine.  The idea of doing burpees and mountain climbers before even a cup of coffee…

So you early exercisers, HOW DO YOU DO IT?
