Boot Camp Part Duex

So tonight is Wednesday, so that means it's time for boot camp again!  I was really hoping that we did more upper body since my hamstrings were still hurting from bodyrock this week, and luckily it was.  On the way there, Kitty was complaining that she didn't really want to be there, but as soon as she got there she was bossing us around and ready to go!

We started with a dynamic warmup again, but this time he made us go out in the heat and do it.  He also made us face the sun for it, which was oh so considerate of him...  Fortunately I remembered to wear the correct bra this time, so I didn't get a black eye.

For the class he split us up into groups of twos and threes, so naturally I was with Kitty and Coop.  This class we had five stations of workouts, and went through the rotation six times as opposed to four, and we took a break in between the first three and the last three rounds. 

• The first station we were at was called a TRK 'Y', or something strange.  Basically you used the bands hanging from the scaffolding, and instead of doing a row you would lean back with your arms straight and pull them up till you formed a "Y" with your arms and body.  That was actually a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. 
• The second station was this weird thing that was supposed to work our shoulders and abs.  I felt NOTHING in my abs, and it burnt out my shoulders like crazy.  We had to hold a ten pound dumb bell (we didn't pay enough to be allowed to use the smart bells) in front of us in both hands, straight arms, and make small circles in front of us.  Half way through the 40 seconds we were supposed to switch positions. 
• The third station was pushups.  We had the choice of doing Hindu push-ups, regular push-ups, or "eccentric" push-ups.  The Hindu push-ups had you starting in a push up position, but with your butt further up in the air.  You came down like you were doing downward dog, then stuck your butt up again to start the movement again. I really don't see how it was a push-up at all, but whatevs.  The "eccentric" push-ups had you starting in a regular push up position, going down in the push-up, then putting your knees down, pushing back up then starting it all again. I did these the first round and second round, third round I just held a plank (cause I like to change the rules) then did sissy push-ups the rest of the rounds.
• Fourth station was burpees.  I fucking hate burpees.  Coop said we should rename them to fartees because he never once burped, but did in fact fart a few times. 
• Fifth station was holding a kettle bell to your chest, going into a squat, then doing a curl with the kettle bell.  I like to do a small pelvic thrust when I come out of my squat as to work the butt as well. 

We ended it all with countdown lunges.  It was a lot like the countdown squats from last week, just with lunges.  We did pulse lunges, then full range of motion lunges, then held it for 20 seconds.  Oh muh gah, my quads got so burning hot I thought my pants were going to burst into flames.

Again, no group stretch at the end, so I did my own. I also forgot to weigh myself there.
