I’m leaving bright and early tomorrow morning for my RKC certification. I’ve spent the last 10 weeks trying to get in shape to be able to put up with the demands of the weekend. I’ve also been working on passing my Snatch Test.
I have to be honest, I haven’t put in as much time as I would have liked. Working out that hard is very hard to do alone. I am not one of those types of people who are self motivated. I do much better in a group setting or with a workout partner.
I’m hoping that going through the weekend with a ton of other people, including my oldest son, Ryan, will get me through.
As of right now, I am scared to death.
I will keep everyone posted on the weekend through either my blog or Facebook.
Wish me luck!
This is my & my husband’s third session of boot camp. Speaking for myself, boot camp is challenging for me and that’s why I stay in it. I am at the age where I am not elderly yet, but am no longer a youth, either. I guess that’s why it’s called middle age, ha. It seems really important that I do this now (while I still can?). I think building the core strength and improving all the muscle strength is so important. And weight-bearing exercise is important for me since I was already diagnosed with osteoporosis at the ripe young age of 40! I’ve read a good deal about that and learned it’s important to regain bone strength, along with my medical regime. Building core strength is also important for balance, which tends to diminish in the elderly. Not that I’m old yet! But I value this program for building my overall fitness.
Im not in it to lose weight, per se, but I have a tendency to get careless with my diet and can put on weight very easily. Truthfully, at this time, I am planning to lose about 7-8 lbs., so that more excess does not creep up. A few years back I went to weight watchers and lost 30 lbs., but it is very easy for me to slip back into bad habits.
Good Luck!!! You’re gonna kick butt!
Good Luck, Laurel! We are all rooting for you!
