I cheated on Bootcamp!

Yes.

It’s true.

Since we opened our Willow Glen 6am location, I have been teaching all the classes and haven’t been able to actually get to a Bootcamp class to participate.

Well, while our Willow Glen group is ROCKING IT EVERY MORNING (watch out Gilroy and Los Gatos…there’s a new kid in town!), I have been trying out different health clubs in the neighborhood.

Miguel wants a place to swim, so we’ve gotten all these passes to all these clubs around town. It’s been a while since I’ve gotten my workout on at an actual club, so I was interested to give it a go.

As some of you might know, I made my entrance into the health and fitness world teaching group exercise at the ripe old age of 19. So with some club passes in my hand, I just couldn’t help giving some of the free group classes a try.

Tuesday night:

5:30 – cycling

Bootcamp Rulz... Silly Club droolz!

6:30 – sculpting

(Both of which were favorites for me to teach…I loved it!)

Yes, I spent 2 hours at the gym (and if you include drive time, locker time, etc, it was closer to 3 hours).

Here’s what happened:

Okay…I’m not going to sit here and bash the classes. Because I did have a lot of fun. The instructors (although both were very very very out of shape), were funny, engaging, and entertaining to say the least.

But I can’t believe that despite pushing myself in the class, I barely burned 300 calories in an hour and hardly broke a sweat. I really don’t get it. When I used to teach, I would be DRENCHED! I also would feel like I got my world rocked with a great workout.

But not here.

And then we have the traditional group exercise strength class. The instructor had so many gadgets and props, I think she forgot about the actual exercises! I can’t believe that spent almost 3 hours total in a completely unproductive environment. Look people…I’m not trying to sound all important here, but I think we can all agree on this one: Your time is precious, valuable, and probably your most important assest! Yes? Well, that’s how I feel about my time, too.

Here’s what I mean:

If my goal is to lean out, get in shape, change my body and increase my fitness…AND I can do it in less than an hour…why would I waste almost 3 hours in very unproductive formats of exercise? I just don’t get it!

I don’t know. I think Bootcamp has spoiled me.

I love Bootcamp!!!

The workouts actually challenge me. The instructors know your weaknesses and strengths and know how to push you just the right way to get you motivated and moving past your limits. You actually get results.

I think I’ve moved into a new era of my life. Goodbye silly club workouts and HELLO Get-my-butt-into-serious-shape-Red-Shift-Bootcamp-Training-Sessions!!!

See you out there.
