In my last post I pointed out the fact that my fitness was on fail--well epic fail really--but no longer. I took a step and signed up for a 'Boot Camp'. The simple premises of a boot camp work out is to do really intense workouts in a very small space of time. I had to take it one step further because we all know I always have to be ambitious. I'm in my second week of Kettlebell Boot Camp.
You may ask yourself- "what is a kettlebell?". The long answer - it's a weight that looks like a cannon ball with a handle used to work multiple muscle groups and increase cardio. The short answer-the most amazing piece of fitness equipment EVER. This class is an intense 45 min weight training and cardio session that leaves your exhausted with a huge smile on your face. It's prefect for me because it's 'only 45 mins' but give you a crazy workout. I've been doing it for 2 weeks now and already see positive changes in how I feel. I've even been made to go up to the 30lbs weight where last week I started out at 25lbs and THAT was rough. My instructor Julie is AMAZING. She and her fiancee have had tremendous results with this class so when she tells you to do something you know it's worth it.
