Bootcamp!

Have you ever tried a bootcamp class? If not, then you are really missing out on a fun, difficult, exercise experience that will leave you dripping with sweat and feeling super accomplished. If you have, then you know how difficult and just how fun it is. My school offers free fitness classes for students and community members to attend during the week. Among those classes are yoga, Pilates and bootcamp! Bootcamp is a super duper amazing class!! This week, we did really challenging circuit that we repeated three times and did with a partner. My friend, Selena, and I were partners and by the end of class, we were dying. It was awesome. If you've never tried a bootcamp before, I'd recommend looking into it and going to at least one local class. You won't regret it!

So far my May term workout schedule has been pretty consistent and pretty darn successful. I may not be losing weight right now, but I can definitely feel a difference in my fitness level. I run every morning and always do at least fifteen minutes of strength training after my run. I also took a belay class at a local climbing gym, which landed me a free two week membership so I've also been climbing everyday  with my friend Meaghan. Rock climbing is another thing that I would recommend giving a try. It is so fun and rewarding. The more you go, the faster you improve. I started climbing being super out of shape two weeks ago, shaking and struggling my way up a 5.6 (the easiest level wall to climb) and now I'm climbing 5.8s and they don't feel super difficult! It's amazing how much your body can do and how quickly it can adapt. I already feel my arms becoming more toned (again! yay!).

I also laced up a new pair of running shoes and said good-bye to my old sneakers. :( They served me well and I got about 200 miles out of them (so many miles!). But on the bright side, no more shin splints for Kelsey! Yay!

Well, time to go grab my laundry from the wash machines!!
