I completed boot camp and feel excited about my results!! I did a final assessment test and was able to complete the mile 25 seconds faster than at the beginning, 13 more pushups and 20 more situps! I also lost 5 inches and 9 pounds!!!! I am very pleased to say the least. I have also joined the boot camp instructor team and will be instructing a camp in Wickenburg. It starts Apr. 28. I gave a free trial camp today and had 5 people come. It was a lot of fun and I the women seemed to really get a great work out. I am really looking forward to this additional adventure and challenge. Oh by the way it is at 5:30 - 6:30 AM! ugh! Oh well, it is cooler at that time (only in the 70's).
Our boot camp is sponsored by Healthnut and each participant receives a free month membership to the gym and spa. We were featured last week on Channel 3 (www.AZfamily.com) to show how our boot camps are a unique and fun but effective way to lose weight and get healthy. They did a great job on the info and we had a lot of calls regarding the gym and camps.
Hoo Yah!

Week 1 completed!
I finished week one and feel proud. We were timed on a mile run as well as push ups in a minute and sit ups in a minute. I am proud to say I came in second place on the mile with a time of 10 min 36 sec. Not great but I finished and I finished 2nd! I also was proud of how many push ups and sit ups I was able to accomplish. I am excited to see how much I improve by the next time we are timed.
This week she had us crawling on the wet grass, doing speed lunges, and walking lunges uphill, plus other excruciating exercises! The last couple days is when it actually felt like a Boot camp work out! My triceps are so sore I can't bend my arms at the elbows more than a 90 degree angle. This better work!
Arizona is blossoming and my allergies have been a big factor in this outdoor workout. I am trying a new pill and hopefully I will get a little relief. I was hoping when we moved out here I wouldn't have any allergies but no such luck.

Call me Private WIlkes!
Call me Private Wilkes. I have joined a Women's Fitness BOOT CAMP!! I started Monday. We were measured (embarrassing) on Monday. I am ready. It last for 4 weeks 4 days a week. It is intense! Tonight we had to run a mile (thanks to Sabrina I was able to run it!!) We did 45 minutes of drills at 12 different stations. Everything from hurdles to jumprope to squats and lunges. I am finding that since having a baby certain activities (jumprope!) is not an activity that my bladder agrees with! Kegels, Kegels Kegels!!!! Thursday we are being timed on our mile as well as how many push-ups and sit-ups we can do in 1 minute. I am so competitve when it comes to this that I am nervous and anxious. They say go at your own pace but lets be serious, everyone wants to be first and the best!
I am serious, ready and am losing this baby weight! I am sore and tired but it feels good. I will keep you posted on my results.
