HAPPY FRIDAY!!! I hope you all have had a good week, and that those of you who celebrate Christmas are gearing up for a great long weekend! I am SO EXCITED For today to be OVER! I have my last final tonight at 6pm (seriously, could we drag this out any longer??) and then it’s home to finish packing, get some sleep and head to KANSAS CITY in the morning! Who wouldn’t be pumped for 8 hours in the car with this face?:
Granted, she’ll probably look more like this:
Basically, I’m excited. Just ready to go home and enjoy my last ever winter break! I do, however, have a serious hurdle to get over before I go home: I am sick. Legitimate fever last night, couldn’t sleep, want to die, whole body hurts, sick. I have 4 things I have to do today and they all sound daunting: walk Neville (my goldfish) to my brother’s apartment so they can take care of him while I’m gone for a month, pick up a prescription, pack, and go all the way down to school to take a final. I’m really hoping I start feeling better… Right now I’m going to try and go back to bed… Wish me luck!
So I mentioned on Sunday that I’d do a final re-cap of Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp this week, so here we go!
From Tina’s Site:
The Best Body Fitness site focuses on all around health and wellness. I firmly believe that a body treated well and challenged to achieve new heights is our own, personal “best body”. Stronger or leaner may be a side effect, but the focus is on a healthier and happier you through living a fit lifestyle. I want to extend that goal and motivation to all people, while also showing that fitness can be FUN. Enter Best Body Bootcamp!
Bootcamp is an 8 week program, broken up into 4 phases, each lasting two weeks long. For each phase we are given 3 strength workouts: A, B, & C. We do them in one week, and then repeat them in the second week of that phase. She also gives us up to two cardio workouts a week. These are some of my favorite because I can make up my own HIIT workouts, but I prefer following ones that she’s put together. Finally, the 6th day of the week is cardio of choice or an extra rest day, and the 7th day is a rest day.
A great part about Tina’s Bootcamp is how flexible it is. At the end of each workout document she sends out she includes modifications for each move depending on if you want to make it easier, harder or do it at home without gym equipment.
Another thing I love? The accountability. There is a facebook group where we can all ask questions and encourage one another. I find myself checking it all the time! We also are each sent a google document where kept track of 2 goals per week and our workouts. You earn points for filling out the form and can win prizes, including a cash prize at the end. Here’s an example of one of my weeks:
I enjoy participating in the bootcamp for both the accountability and it’s a great way to mix up my workout routine. I don’t always love the workouts (as I mentioned in previous posts, the circuit/burpee phase was not my favorite) but that’s okay, because I modified it for myself. Then there are other phases where I learn new techniques that I absolutely love! Plus, it’s only eight weeks so I feel like the constant change in phases makes time fly by!
If you’re interested in participating in the next phase of Bootcamp (ALL NEW workouts – she doesn’t recycle!) then visit THIS SITE for more information. It’s only $25 for 8 weeks and part of that goes towards the $$ prizes at the end.
The next round of bootcamp begins January 7th and registration closes on December 31st! If you have more questions, check out the FAQ page.
