Getting in shape

I only have a minute but want to share my boot camp experience. I bought a Groupon with Custom Fitness Concepts because their locations and timing worked with my schedule. I recently finished a month and I am really sad I can't keep going, especially now that the weather is getting nice! When I started on March 31 it was COLD.

I joined the 6-7am Bluemont Park group. Bluemont Park is 2 minutes from Oakwood FC, so it's really a perfect location if you're staying there (but there are other locations and times throughout VA). I am sorry to report that the terrific Bluemont coach is leaving, but I'm sure the new coach will be just as great. It was not the scary drill sargeant scene I imagined- just an hour of doing more than I thought I could.

The class starts out on the tennis courts and often moves to the parking lot, surrounding trails, and even the other side of the park. The workouts are never the same, though the 3 repetitions of every set nearly killed me...

As for results? Well, I don't think I've given it enough time or effort. In the past two months, I revamped my eating patterns a lot and have been exercising about 3x a week. Now I realize I need to exercise more if I want to lose a few pounds. And what's cool is that I want to exercise more! Just have to fit it into my schedule.

I highly recommend Custom Fitness Concepts and especially Bluemont Park group if you are in the area! They are offering a free week's trial if you want to check it out.
