21 Minutes of Hell

Lately I've been struggling. Struggling with with my exercise and eating and my weight is creeping to uncomfortably high numbers. A girlfriend, who recently got into amazing shape, recommended Barry's boot camp.

I ordered, it came, I read the instructions, blew up the ball like thingy, and got started. I was so cocky. I put in the advance exercise bands and tried to do the advance workout from the beginning. "I work out all the time, I'm in such a good shape."

Yeah, stop laughing.

The core exercise DVD is 21 minutes, and then you add on other pieces as you advance. You can do anything for 21 minutes? Um, maybe not.

I'm dripping wet, everything hurts and I want to die. And for some stupid reason, I'm planning on setting my alarm at 6 am again and doing this nonsense again tomorrow. Before going to work. For 30 straight days. If I make it a week I will be shocked.

I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with me either.

I think what you are doing is a great idea! Keep it up and I bet you will see a difference.

No No No!!!!!

Really, I know you've seen a picture of me. I'm a fat girl, but please know that I know what I'm talking about here.

Start out slow, because if you don't, you are going to hurt yourself and stop. (Which is almost worse than never starting in the first place. )

Then you will probably feel guilty about not keeping it up and so on....

Just start out slow, and in a day or so, turn it up a notch. Then the next day, another notch.

Sorry to sound like your mom. Good luck.

I'm intrigued! And I totally would do the same thing. And you can't be that crazy, I'm actually considering give it a try myself!

Good for you. That's awesome. The Biggest Loser DVD workouts are also pretty effective. You'll totally see a difference if you stick with an exercise routine consistently! Keep it up!

If I weren't already committed (mentally)... I mean committed to running my first marathon this winter, plus teaching dance class, and trying to get into the occasional spin class, I'd so order this and give it a try.
