[[You must fight just to keep them alive]]

Okay, put on a motivator song like Eye of the Tiger or the theme song to Rocky... something along those lines. And then read this.
About 3 weeks ago, I started doing BootCamp. My brother Calvin is an instructor at Lean Body BootCamp and I called him up about a month ago. I asked what they do at workout/in class. I asked for facts about it, I did not want to be sold to, I just wanted facts. I knew I needed to do something in my life, so I thought about it. I decided to try it out. I went on a Friday night at 7pm... and that was rough, I hurt so badly afterwards. and the whole weekend I did not want to move. BUT Monday evening came around and I went back. I signed up, put my autograph on the contact and did the workout again. I hurt again. I went Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday but I hurt my hip, so I skipped Friday to go to DR and relax. I went back Monday and still pushed hard. That was last week. I went 4 nights a week. I pushed every night. I did not give up.
Now, DO NOT imagine me doing everything perfectly cause I still cannot do all the exercises completely. But I try. For example, I cannot do a push up. I cannot do a complete burpee. I cannot go very far with lunges. I cannot run the 100 dash without falling over. I cannot lift more than 15 lbs on any exercise.
BUT I CAN
keep pushing or keep moving throughout the entire hour. I do not just stop and stand there or lay there. I keep going. If its too hard, I do what I can, and that is what matters.
The music is blasted throughout this small gym and the groups are small. It is personalized, not cause my brother is the instructor, but because its a small group and he knows everyone and what they are capable of. He instructs by example, not screaming. He encourages you individually and not as a group (well that too, but both... lol). Every night is a new workout. A new set of things to work on. From arms to legs to cardio to weights etc. So, its interesting every night.
Another highlight of all this. The people that are also there have been in my shoes so they understand what I am going through. They encourage me ever so greatly. Tonight is the best example, during the 100 dashes, a friend started running WITH me. He saw that I was having a hard time. He told me to take a break and breath and then walk but he still encouraged me more than I could ever imagine. 
I could not breath tonight, and I hurt so bad all over, but I did not give up. I wanted to faint, but I kept going. (drank a LOT of water, but kept going).

So, that is my blog on my new boot camp life. The end.

Peace.
