R2 D2 (Round 2, Day 2, not Star Wars)

Got in bed at a good time last night, woke up with the alarm. Layed in bed for a couple minutes before getting up and getting myself ready without much effort. Had a quick breakfast (Save-a-Lot Shredded Wheat isn't too bad), then out the door.

Arrived at 5:29. We began with some jogging in place and mixed leg and arm exercises. We started out with some Cardio by way of 3 stations of activities. The first were hoops, we jumped with high knees straight through and sideways. Then, we did some cone shuffle drills. Then some lunges and more shuffles. It was a great way to get my heart pumping. Then, we headed over to another area and did arms. Resistance bands, Push ups 3 ways, and Dips. Then we did some team-assisted lunges and squats and played a glorified game of Keep-Away-Duck-Duck-Goose. It was silly but kept our heart rates up. After that, we did lots of ab work and finished off with stretching. Today was a good work-out.

I'm excited but nervous about tonight. We will have our fitness assessments so I will see the concrete evidence on paper of how I'm doing. I am determined to not get wrapped up in the numbers but again, am hopeful to see at least a small amount of change.

Rob told us that tomorrow we will be going out on the mile course and stopping along the way for different exercises. For me, it's much easier to get to my "Full Exertion Level" on these types of days. Although I'm not looking forward to actually running the mile on Thursday, I am looking forward to the challenge and have set a new time goal for myself.

I'm still feeling great and starting to think about what I can do over the weekend for exercise. It seems to work better if I plan ahead for it.

I'll be adding another thing to my daily journal. I'm going to try to keep track of how "intense" the training is on each day. So each day I'll be rating the Intensity Level of the session from 1-10. 1-no activity-10-Maximum, Full-on, Nothing Left To Give

Today's Class Intensity Level - 6.5
