Today's bootcamp

The Tuesday class is primarily free weights mixed in with crunches, squat jumps and leg lifts.  Today I felt I was ahead of the class. I found myself doing exercises while the rest of the class fumbled with changing the weights.  Speaking of the rest of the class, and I hate to complain.  However, there is only one other guy in the class and for some reason, the instructor always makes me partner with him.

Now don't get me wrong, he seems like a nice guy, and maybe he has some physical limitation I don't know about. Nevertheless, I had to help him with his bench press and tell him how to hold the weights.  He constantly needed the instructor to show him examples, of how she wanted us to work out.  He is a little guy, maybe 5' 7" at best, bald and very thin.  Still I am tempted to ask the instructor if I could work out with one of the gals.  Several of them looked like they were using the same weights as me or at least closer.

Saturday's class will be back to aerobics with a 6" step.  I am hoping I will feel stronger than I did last week.  Saturday will also mark the end of the 3rd week, half way through the camp.  I am hoping for a similar weigh in results, as my hope is to shed 30 lbs by the end of the  camp.  I will be pretty disappointed if I don't lose at least 20 pounds.  Should I not reach my goal. It will be another boot camp.  It's 180 pounds or bust!
