Dominating the Battlefield

Well this is it. The battle is done. Bootcamp is over. There have been so many struggles on the battlefield with shining moments and sweaty moments. As I leave BMO Soccer Field, I have three things that I will take with me.

Numero uno: The only way to get rid of your wobbly bits is to do something about it. The Best Body Bootcamp may have forced me to get out of bed at an ungodly hour but the three sweat-sessions a week were completely worth it. If you’re not an early-birdy, there is a new spring bootcamp time of 6:30 p.m. at various locations throughout the city. Check out the site so you can sign-up today: www.bestbodybootcamp.com

Numero dos: Combination training is the most enjoyable kind of training. If you’re like me, I despise running. I don’t do yoga to chill out. I hate swimming laps daily. Yes, hate is a strong word but I feel strongly about it. There was never a dull moment at bootcamp and I was able to take part in resistance training, cardio, yoga, Pilates, kickboxing and core training. Yes, variety is the spice of life. It is also the spice of a great workout.

Numero tres: Bootcamp is a really great way to get your ass into an old pair of pants. They are on, I feel great and I’m ready to dance the night away (wait, I’ve been doing that all along). Anyway, I was in the Best Body Bootcamp to get my ass into gear and quickly. This is exactly what went down. The funny thing about getting my butt back into my favourite slacks is that I’m going out to buy new ones. Goodbye skinny jeans, hello wide legs. So I guess in the long run, I was too good for my pants and I’ve kicked them to the curb (along with my poor attempt at Spanish).

Pick your fitness battles wisely. If you aren’t into working out at all, I will be delving into many topics to make us city gals look fit and feel great without the effort.
