Today left me nearly brain dead, so I'll keep this brief.
Pull-ups. Never done one in my life. We did them with a partner, thankfully. I grabbed the bar and "rested" my feet on my partner's legs. By "rested" I mean "stood on". Three sets of ten with a lap around the gym in between.
That was toward the end of the hour. For the bulk of the time, the boys had us competing with ourselves: how many squat-thrusts can you do in 1 minute (28), how many push-ups (a measly 15), laps around the gym (nearly 4!) and so on. And of course, my favorites: tire squat/presses, lunges with a weight bar and the bear crawl. I so wish that bears had evolved to walk upright because I Hate The Bear Crawl.
I woke up exhausted today, even though I was in bed by 10pm, so it really nearly killed me. Like to the point where when we had a water break, I didn't want anything but air and standing-stillness.
There were two girls today who were on their last day. I wondered how it was that I passed one of them on our timed run. Sheesh, if it was my last day I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry either!

i love your bootcamp series. it makes me feel like i'm getting into shape, without the pain or the early mornings. good job reed.
IF ONLY it worked that way...
I would love to watch someone else do this! Actually, I take that back. I've watched the class before mine do their workout and I just end up feeling bad for the poor bastards! And I watch with dread knowing that I'm next!
