Finished second week of boot camp

Well, after getting through the last two workouts without a problem, I entered today's camp feeling a little cocky.  I felt so confident that I even told a new arrival that this work out was not as tough as the other class, which used free weights throughout.  Little did I know that today's instructor was standing behind me.  She may have taken my words personally.

The session began much like last weeks, though it had more intensity.  She basically went full throttle for 30 minutes before she finally gave a small break.  Gasping for air, and the Gator-aid, I was hoping the worst was over.   My hopes were shattered when I heard her amplified voice cackle above the beat of  the music, "Every one grab a free weight, let's go!"

Twenty minutes later, dripping with sweat and concentrating on not passing out, she finally gave the word it was time to stretch it out.

Normally, I like the stretching as it signals the end of the torture.  However, even the stretching was hard.  Finally, she said to line up for the weigh in.

Well, the torture was worth it when she gave me a  high five for losing the most weight of anyone in the class; down five pounds from last week.
