Yesterday, I joined Bridezilla on her boot camp session. I was going to sign up for May, but I changed my mind at the last minute due to a chilly start to spring and my knees being sore. I am planning on signing up for the June boot camp though.

I figure boot camp will be a quick and dirty way for me to have regular intense workouts. I just want that kick start. The last time I took a boot camp, I didn't find it challenging. I kind of felt the same way yesterday. Maybe I wasn't pushing myself hard enough.

The boot camp session was challenging in the way that you're just doing a lot of repetitions of high-intensity exercises. I don't have that in me to do that myself during my regular workouts. My biggest worry about doing these boot camps is injuring myself. Nobody is there to watch your form or to take the time to teach you an exercise properly.

For me, I just didn't do an exercise if I wasn't sure about it. I'm used to doing my own workouts where form is key and at almost a slow pace. Like I'll do 3 set of 12 lunges. But yesterday, we probably did like 40 squats in a row, and all very quickly. There was no time to watch for form because you're too busy trying to keep up with the instructor! So...I'm going to have to be really careful when I do the boot camp.

My quads are really sore today...I like that. It's been a while. I also haven't been doing weights for a couple of weeks now.
