NWR: Bootcamp is painful

debbieupper

FI and I woke up at 4:30 this morning for our first day of workout bootcamp here in Chicago. And oh. my. goodness. The pain! The torture! 

We're going again tomorrow and will keep it up from there, but holy hell, what a kick in the rear!

Anyone ever done a bootcamp before?

I haven't done it but there was a living social special today for the MN bootcamp. $40 for unlimited bootcamp classes for a month. The times of the classes don't work for me but I am sure it would be a good class.

Nice! We got our package through a YouSwoop deal (like Groupon and Living Social).

I've never done a boot camp, but last year I had a couple personal training sessions, which I'd never done before. I'd gone to working out with a professional when I hadn't really been exercising at all. I went home and threw up. I was worthless for the rest of the night.

Wow 4:30! Whoo I am not sure I could motivate myself to get up that early. Do you go to be early then too? I get up at 6am to go to swim practice and I think that is early .

<div>The bootcamp starts at 5:30 and we didn't want to be late (lord knows what the punishment would be for that!).  Yeah, I'm normally a night owl, but we went to bed around 10:30 last night after practicing dancing. :)</div>

<div>Man, I know the feeling. I thought I was going to puke a few times at the bootcamp and had to pace myself a bit better so I didn't! THAT would have been embarrassing.</div>

Deb! Where are you doin' the bootcamp? I seriously have only worked out like once since our wedding (whoops) and am feeling a bit lazy....

</div><div>The gym is in Lakeview near Irving Park and Damen. It's a really good class - kicks your butt bigtime! :) It's also kinda pricey, but FI and I snagged some YouSwoops for 30 classes worth about a month ago. Hope to see you there, girl!</div>

Damn! I wish I would have jumped on that! I remember seeing that deal too....oh well!

So apparently this bootcamp thing was meant to be. I just purchased a Tippr deal for $20!! Looks like I'll be seeing you at bootcamp Debbie!

<div>No way! Hell yeah! You will feel like dying, just a warning. :)</div><div>
</div><div>I'm gone the next two weeks, but FI will keep going and I'll join back in once my work trip is over. I've gone to three 5:30a.m. days this week and can already see and feel a difference. You're gonna love/loathe it!</div>
