The Stay at Home Mother

Well the first three days of Boot Camp has been absolutely amazing. I say amazing because it has opened my eyes as to how "out of shape" I truly am, but more importantly, it has shown me my true potential.

The woman who runs it (Shawna) is fantastic and is a true motivator in every sense of the word. She is encouraging, supportive and the driving force behind pushing members to do their absolute best. And if you want to try something out like this - she's offering a weekly FREE class if you dare....

She has started a free group for people who want to come out once a week and get together and have some time out to get in to shape. To read more about it - here is her link to the group in White Rock. http://womensports.meetup.com/33/ I'll be there for sure - so what do you have to lose (except for the baby weight, and dress sizes?!)

The first day I started I did ab work and it hurt....alot. And the next day it was leg work - and it burned....alot. And the next day after that it was a gauntlet (variety of exercises) and it was fantastic.

I say fantastic because by the third day I knew what to expect and could keep up with the class a bit more (well - most of the time!) ;) I am a bit tender and my muscles ache but its still a good feeling because I know it is all a transformation.

We all start at various levels of physical endurance and capabilities and that is ok - we need a starting point to measure how far we have come ....and the best thing is that you are doing this for yourself.

We tend to look after everyone else around us but forget about looking after ourselves. This Bootcamp gets you up and running (literally) faster than any gym would or could. And it is a supportive group that helps helps and encourages one another.

I'll be back on Monday for the upper body portion of the Bootcamp, but I need the weekend to recoup and prepare myself mentally and physically for next week - where I get to do the challenge all over again! :)
