Bootcamp Back in Session

Great Valley Adventure Bootcamp is officially back in session and I have a hunch that my body will be feeling it tomorrow. All of the women in attendance seemed excited to be there and like generally fun-loving people. I’m looking forward to getting to know them over the course of the next four weeks.

One of the things I like best about Bootcamp is the opportunity to meet new people that I likely would never have crossed paths with. It’s great to struggle and overcome hurdles with people who have the same goals that I do.

Today’s workout consisted of a child-like cardio warm up where we had to run around the park tagging lamp posts. There was no specified path so I wasn’t running toward an end point. It made it easier and freer to aimlessly run through the park. I honestly felt like a kid on a playground – that’s what exercise should feel like.

The focus of today’s camp was lower body. Mike started us all off relatively slowly since for most attendees this is their first session. I was grateful for an easier day to get me back into the Bootcamp workout after a week on my own. We did squats, lunges, and plies with jumping rope in between. My legs were shaking by the end of the hour. I’m sure I’ll feel it tomorrow. It’s the kind of pain I look forward to.
