boot camp day 2

yesterday was day 2 of boot camp. it was thursday, so lisa was the instructor. i hadn't had a class with her before yesterday either. again it was interval training..but she had us do some exercises i had never done before.

one was putting your hands on the floor and walking up the wall with our feet 10 times. so you are basically doing a handstand and walking your feet up the wall up and down 10 times.

another was doing a push up and then jumping your feet out and in 4 times, and repeat. so you are basically doing like a jumping jack motion with your feet in a push up position.

and the next couple of exercises were with these circles she called gliders. you put them under each of your feet or hands depending on the exercise. a variation to mountain climbers, where you start in a push up position and bring one knee in towards your chest (placing the foot on the floor) and then the other, switching as fast as you can. so, instead you are doing this with the gliders under each foot. and then, we brought both feet in with the gliders under each foot. mountain climbers are hard is it is, so adding the gliders added a big challenge. we did other exercises with the gliders, but those were what i remembered.

boot camp has been great so far i'm excited to see how much i progress. i'm even thinking of signing up for another.
