While I can now string together 20 pushups in one go and get up to my 50 - 100 for the day, doing them at boot camp is a whole different ordeal. I don't know if it's the sequence of exercises, the fact that I'm totally winded or what, but I'm good for no more than 5 pushups!!
I guess that's a good thing - means I'm really working those critical muscles out to the point of failure. In fact, that seemed to be the running theme to today's workout - do more exercises as soon as you're out of breath. For example, we would to 50 jumping jacks, then jump right on to our bellies and then do 20 squats and then back down to do 20 divebombers (if you're curious, I'd be happy to show you - it's a really neat exercise)...anyway, after the divebombers, Nandor's like "ok, let's go!" --- basically, that means let's go run a mile and then come back to do more...that's what we did for the whole hour. Not so much focused on strength, but really making sure our bodies can handle a high level of aerobic stress.
Well, 4 weeks complete and only one more to go! Also, the official weigh-in is next week, too. (Can't wait!!!)
