Things I Learned in Boot Camp
Permalink  

So a couple weeks ago I had this great idea to sign up for the Bot Camp class the Milwaukee Rec Department conducts each season. It's close to home, it sounded like a good challenge, and I've done a similar class before. True to form, it's only week two and it's a lesson in PAIN. But I've learned a few things in the two weeks I've attended:

1. You have no right to complain...you signed up for this. (A gentle reminder form the instructor.)

2. When the muscle spasms stop and the real cramping begins, drink about 2 fingers of vinegar or pickle juice to make them stop.

3.  81st Street School apparently serves Teddy Grahams with every Monday's lunch...they're all over the floor where we work out...and the boot camp instructor highly advises against eating the leftovers. giggle.gif

4. When the instructor announces the muscle group we'll be working this evening, be afraid...be very afraid.

5.  Don't sign up for a class called boot camp and expect to be able to move your body parts afterward - it ain't happenin'!

6.  If you think it hurts now, wait until tomorrow.

7.  Finally, your significant other must REALLY care about you if he lets you sign both of you up for this class and isn't cursing your name and the day you were born by 10 minutes into the workout!

Yep, our drill sargeant swears by it. I'll probably be confirming that later on tonight when the pain really kicks in. nod.gif

Hmm... have you considered the possibility that this Boot Camp instructor is nothing but a sadist?

Well, I suppose...but then that also makes me a sado-masochist for signing us up for it, right? laughing.gif

I'm thinking that making you work out until your entire body is a charlie horse is one thing, but then suggesting you drink (gag) 2 fingers of vinegar or pickle juice... if it doesn't help then you are just crampy with a nasty taste in your mouth.

I have never had tequilla.

What are the brands or tequillas of choice?

Really? Well, anything that says "Agave" is a better bet. If it says Montezuma, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! My personal favorites are Patron, 1800 Resposado, and Gran Centenario Anejo. But if you have never tried it... try Jose Cuervo first. He will either be a friend of yours or no.

Just remembered the other really good one I like... Hornitos.

Cabo Wabo tequila is really good too. But, you have to pay a pretty penny for it.

The least expensive on my list is the Cuervo. Never tried Cabo Wabo, but someday I might. If you're gonna drink tequila, it's best to spend the money and get the good stuff.

Yeah, Squonk... we like to keep it real. Just about everybody who gets through boot camp wants a few shots!! laughing.gif

Ah, a merging of the minds! I knew the FFR folks would come up with the ideal situation! Note to self...next time I think of signing up for this class, do this instead:

1. Buy yourself a Boot Camp workout DVD.
2. Proceed directly to the liquor store and purchase your favorite tequila.
3. Go home, fire up the DVD.
4.  For the ambitious, start doing the workout. for the less ambitious, sit on the couch to watch the DVD.
5. Do shots of tequila throughout the video.
6. When you're too tired, too disgusted or too bombed on tequila, press the stop button on the remote and let it be.

nod.gif Now that's how you do Boot Camp, FFR style right?

Not only may you wake up with an aching body, but your head will be aching too. I guess if you are going to do it, do it right.

True, but if your head hurts bad enough you won't even think about how bad your body hurts. wink.gif
