A Week Without Bootcamp

Thank goodness for Jen and Mike and their emails! It has been one week since the last Adventure Bootcamp session ended and it is certainly more challenging to motivate myself without a scheduled daily workout. Fortunately, while on hiatus, they don’t forget about their campers. We still get regular emails with tips and motivation and suggestions.

I’ve been working out on my own since last Friday and have done a good job keeping to a routine and fitting in the cardio exercises. Like I said in a previous post, it’s the weight training that I have a hard time doing on my own. I’m never sure I am doing the right activities and I find it a bit boring to do solo so I slack off. That said, at the end of last camp my arms were feeling very strong and I was starting to see definition. I don’t want to lose that hard work and have been doing my best to keep up some sort of weight routine.

In the week sans bootcamp, I did a strength training DVD with my sister on Saturday, used the weight machines at the gym on Tuesday, and will complete another strength training DVD either today or Saturday. With one more week to go before bootcamp resumes, I need to be sure to continue to work on strength in addition to cardio a few more times. Fortunately, emails from Jen keep me thinking of that goal.

Jen ends her emails with this note: Think Differently. MOVE more. EAT well. That’s my goal. I’m trying to do these things on my own and fortunately I’m getting friendly reminders to keep me going.
