This was the first full week of the 21 Day Skinny Jeans Challenge. Woof! The classes were hard, especially with nasal congestion and a sore throat developing this week.
The goal of the program is to do attend bootcamp 3-5 times per week, so I’m glad I fell within that. I’d say the hardest bootcamp session was on Saturday…it was NONSTOP and super intense! Think: squat jumps, burpees, up downs, jumping jacks, high knees, lunges, cherry pickers, wall jumps, mountain climbers, calf & leg raises….but over and over again.
At one point while doing up-downs with fast feet, I wasn’t dropping all the way to the ground (meaning, my body wasn’t completely flat on the floor.) So the trainer was giving me crap and I told him that I wasn’t doing it all the way because I was trying to catch my breath so I told him, “Gimme a break…I’m just trying to not yack on your floor!” To which he replied…”Hey, that’s what this side door is for if ya need it, now DROP DOWN!!” Ugh….yeah, it totally kicked my butt.
Needless to say, I’m ready to tackle week 2 (hopefully with this awful cold behind me!) I just hope I find some time to get some running in. I plan to run a 10k in a couple of weeks and hope my body will be ready for it! It will be my first race of the year so I’m just looking to run it at a reasonable pace, hopefully finishing in 60 min or less. But with snow in the forecast (whaaat!?) I think I’ll plan a date on the treadmill with some RHOBH. And bootcamp. Lots of bootcamp. Sounds good to me :-)

This sounds like a lot of fun! Super intense to do it 3-5x a week though! I guess that is how you get in to the skinny jeans though. Do you see yourself doing this after the challenge is over?
It is super intense…I probably won’t do it after the 21 days because it’s a little pricey and I wouldn’t plan to go as often especially with the weather getting nicer! It was just nice to take advantage of the special and workout hard before our vacay! I really want to try one of your classes sometime though!
Yes! Let’s keep talking about this weather getting nicer in hopes that it actually happens!
I’d love it if you dropped in on a class! Anne (Anne Really Blogs) did tonight :)
I know right?! Ugh!! Would love to– how fun!!!
Good job. It’s hard to do but it sure is worth it. HOpefully you are over your cold.
