This morning, after the usual get up, get ready stuff, I headed downtown. I arrived on time and saw lots of new faces. It was bring a friend day and lots of people brought friends. I, however didn't have anyone show up to work-out with me...Sigh...Boo :-(

Anyway, we started out with a circuit warm-up of forward and backward sumo walks and hoops. Then we moved on to a full obstacle course circuit.

We did forward and backward lunges, Star (death) jumps (still one of my least favorite of all Boot Camp exercises), ammo can lifts, push ups, dips, undulations, PVC lifts, resistance band pushes and pulls, and jump rope. It was a great circuit and my goal was to get through it twice which I did (minus the dips second time, I'm not sure if I forgot on accident or subconsciously left them out, oops! I guess I'll be doing those on a chair in a minute...).

It was a great circuit! Challenging, but do-able.

After the circuit, we did some team rope work with squats then finished off with a little bit of core.

Today's class was good and it moved fast because of all of the activity changes. I felt full of energy afterwards and did a quick Victory Lap over the bridge and back while enjoying the beautiful morning sky. During my quick "lap", I reflected on tomorrow's FitPar assessment test and although I can't say I'm excited for the assessment because of the mile, I am curious to see how I'm continuing to progress. I am feeling physically stronger. I'm beginning to understand what it means to have my core "engaged" during work-outs and I'm hopeful to break the 3 minute marker on Plank.
