After 6 days of spin classes I decided to mix it up and try Kristen’s Boot Camp. I was late but spied an open spot on the floor complete with towels and a double step. I didn’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth and so I snuck in quite unceremoniously.
The class was full capacity as usual which didn’t surprise me because all of her classes draw her devotees, like me for example. I was glad I was hidden in the back of the MS because I just wanted to blend in. In spin class I feel comfortable no matter where I am but here in-group exercise I am still a fish out of water.
This was Boot Camp and coming from Military School I knew what that meant or at least I thought I did. Plenty of lunges, leg extensions and dumb bell reps. what I wasn’t sure about was how my growing stamina in spin class would serve me here. And I have to report the transfer was there. The lake under my feet was there as well. My flexibility however has a lot to be desired though and I think I need to add Pilates to my regimen because when Kristen had us squat this elevator was not going down. I was stuck in between floors.
I could see Don up front and he was in a position I would not want to be in and he was full of painful looking grimaces and was I have to say not keeping up with the Blonde Dynamo. I tried to keep pace with the metronomes adjacent to me but elected my own speed and tried to concentrate on form instead.
Boot Camp? Let’s just say it might take some time before I am ready to lace up the boots of this kind of workout. I watched Kristen perform and the only solace I could hold onto was how old I was. Don't get me wrong I love how I feel but when you watch KG be prepared to be humbled.
