boot camp

Because Sun just switched to a new out-sourced contractor for its fitness facilities, we are offered a full week of free group exercise classes this week. I excited joined the "boot camp" during lunch, knowing that I have not been in the best physical shape for a while, and need to start slow to build up my stamina and energy level.

What I didn't anticipate, however, was that "beginner's level" is a relative term. I didn't think I was so out of shape, given that I can still run and use the elliptical machines alright. I went to the boot camps class, and half way into the exercises, I was so tired that I accidentally stepped on an obstacle and fell! Ok, so I didn't break an arm or anything, so I keep on going. But I was so tired, that I started seeing gold stars and felt light headed!!

whew... I am in much worse physical/strength shape than I originally thought, time to catch up and re-start the 3 times a week workout routine. And what better time to get started other than now? =)
