I took my first boot camp class at the gym this morning. I think that physically it may have been the hardest thing I have ever done. The class consisted of calisthenics and a lot of fast paced repetitive movements. We used hand weights most of the time and aerobic step platforms a lot of the time. The focus was supposed to be on endurance. And it did take endurance but for me it also took immense concentration just to learn all the moves (I'm not the most coordinated kid on the block).
After the class I felt utterly defeated. And certain that I have to do it again. I mean, it has to get easier right?
Warning: this next paragraph gets gross. Read with caution.
I showered at the gym and went straight to work. In my meticulous planning for the early morning trip to the gym I had packed a breakfast and lunch for myself, picked out an outfit for work, set aside toiletries for the gym, and otherwise tried to cover the necessary bases. However I had neglected to account for the fact that my workout clothes would be completely soaked. (If I hadn't known better, I would have thought the clothes had taken a dip in a pool --I don't think I've ever been so sweaty.) Putting the sweaty clothes into my backpack with 2/3 of my day's meals was disgusting. I don't recommend it.

Yikes! I guess next time you'll bring a separate gym clothes bag? One that seals nice and tight - like one of those luggage compression bags w/the zip closures?
OH, how I can relate to the wet clothes after working out! My fitness center doesn't have shower facilities, so I have to go home all wet and smelly. Really smelly. It is not the most pleasant feeling on the leather seats of my
Jeep.
