It was anything but "sissy".
My VERY first class we moved our bodies non stop for 45 minutes. We were up skipping, down into burpees, up into squat jumps, down into push up pumps and that skipping I mentioned? That was the break!!!
It is a workout that is for everyone because you do what you are able to. Being pregnant, I have made loads of modifications, but my trainers think I'm still challenging myself adequately and since I am my own best competitor, I think I'm working plenty hard too!
Since I've started this bootcamp, I've found that I'm not gaining weight at an obscene rate, like I would expect from my experience last time! I've also noticed that I can climb stairs without getting breathless, SOOOOOOOOOO I went for a run tonight...
I've mentioned before that runners will run through ANYTHING. And I gave my 6 months pregnant belly a hella good workout tonight and felt fantastic! Maybe it was the few new songs I rewarded myself with on my ipod, or maybe it was the +6 weather (which is extraordinary for Alberta at this time of year!), but I really truly felt fantastic! In fact, the only reason I remembered I was pregnant was because my new pepto pink running jacket would not zip up comfortably!
With my newfound pregnancy fitness, I've decided to continue with bootcamp beyond the 6 weeks I signed up for AND I'm quite determined to do the Las Vegas half marathon in December!
This is a pic of my cousin Courtenay and I heading out for a run at Candle Lake when Vit A was around 5 months old. One of my fave places and people to run with! I WILL be running when this babe is 5 months old - hopefully sooner!
