I began the year by going to the gym again. Going to the gym had me feeling good again. I had some lactic acid build-up in muscles but it was not the worst pain. Later in the winter, a friend asked me to join a Fitness Bootcamp and I thought long and hard about it. I joined.
I had heard about bootcamps before and was curious. I also figured it may be my last attempt to kick-start my health at middle-age, lest I slide into middle aged obesity (I was already over-weight, and riding the line between over-weight and obese).
The people at the bootcamp are in good shape- not like me. They review the rules with you, and one of the rules is "Don't quit!". So though I was the out-of-shape middle aged person in the platoon, I perservered.
Surviving a bootcamp can be dramtic, dealing with one's limitations and all the soreness associated with this harder intense physical training. Some strength training exercises can be enjoyable, and I would like to improve my cardio and so I am doing my best to succeed.
I will try to keep you updated more regularly. Have a good day.
