OPERATION BOOTCAMP!!!

Well, tonight was my first night of Operation Bootcamp!!!! Which I will be doing for the next 8 weeks!

Probably like all bootcamps, we began with an official weigh in, measure, and fitness test!! OUCH!

We began with the 'Beep Test.' I have NEVER done one before (this is not an excuse I promise) and I got a bit confused when the Beeps changed levels! Ooops! So probably didn't do as good as I could have, but hey I gave it a go!!! I got to level 2.4!

Then, it was to the grassed area to do 'The Plank.' The first official time I have ever done this and my time was 1min and 44secs. Not sure if I suck at this or if it is ok??? I guess I can tell you that in 8 weeks! lol 

Then it was the "Push Up's" and not the girl kind, the proper ones on your toes. For the first time in my life (that I can recall anyway) I had to do real push ups. I got 6 in a minute! (Don't think I did them really well though!) There was one guy doing them and he was a machine (obviously doesn't carry a toddler around all day lol).

Then came 'Step Ups" I got 40 in a minute (I was pleased with this).

Then the Sit Ups (elbows touching thighs) and it was 25 in a minute - I might actually change levels this round in the 12WBT! Oh and my neck didn't hurt for a change (must remember to thank Jill my massuer for that!).

Then, the squats. 57 in 1 minute!

And lastly we had to balance on one leg for as long as possible. I think I made 2 mins 34 secs.

So all in all I am pleased with my results, and know that there are huge improvements to be made.

Over the next 8 weeks, I hope I can lose at least a kilo a week! Fingers, Toes and everything are crossed!

Bring on Boxing Wednesday Night at Bootcamp - can't wait!
