Exercise Boot Camp

Boot Camp
Okay, So I have been exercising quite a lot lately. I was pretty much thinking that I could handle a class taught at our local gym called "Boot Camp". This class is supposed to challenge you and give you a wide variety of exercises to keep you in high physical fitness. What I soon discovered, in the first 2 minutes of class, was that 1. Satan lives on the earth and teaches Boot Camp and 2. He wants to make your exercise experience Hell on Earth! Okay so the teacher is not Satan (in drag?) but she was SO Hard and kind of mean! She had us running , lunging, lifting, squatting, jumping rope and (almost crying) in the first two minutes of class. Her exact words were "This class is NOT your strength training or aerobics class. This class is designed to push you! Hurt you! Work you past your limits. You will go until you cannot breathe, think you can't take anymore, think you are going to collapse and THEN make you continue for another few minutes." It was 1 hour of torture! I was trying to sort of hide in the back of the class but she kept saying "Come on MICHELLE! Don't be lazy here!" or my favorite "Michelle, if you can't keep up, I am going to make you and the whole class do another round of running!" I was so embarrassed that I pushed myself just to deaths door. I thought it was so weird that she was calling me out as I was the new student in class. It so happens that as I was leaving I heard her say to another lady. "Way to go Michelle, you really worked hard today." So, I did all of that keeping up for nothing! I am going to try it again next week but if you don't here from me, you may want to check to see if I am in hell.
