Friday was a good day. Not as humid as Thursday, and we moved to a new area of the park that I like much better. There were only 2 campers, but there were 4 trainers...we were OUTNUMBERED! But, it wasn't so bad b/c all four trainers did every exercise along with us.
We broke up into two groups and there were 50 "Fit Cards" near a tree about 25 yards away. One group member would run to the tree and back with one of cards and everyone in the group would do the "advanced" number of exercises listed on the card. Then, the next one in the group would run to the tree, and so forth. Some examples of exercises listed on the cards:
- 40 arm rotations
- 25 squats
- 20 full sit ups
- 40 crunches
- 12 eight-point body-builders (a.k.a. the death of my energy)
- a bunch of other crazy made-up moves that never should have been invented
The goal was to be the group who went through the MOST cards...my team won by one card. It wasn't too bad. Some exercises were more difficult than the others. You get a little rest between exercises. You're not completely rested, but you're not so tired that you can't do the next exercise. Then...
we did a thing called a "Plank Off." Well, by 'we' I mean 'they.' A plank off is seeing who in the group can hold a plank position the longest. After all of the other things we had already done, I could hold a plank for about 45 seconds. 2 of the trainers were still going strong at 6 minutes!!!! The stopped early because they didn't want us to just stand around waiting for them...lol. It was amazing! I was impressed! Well, I had a good restful weekend and am ready fo another week of torture :)

Dude, I would so be right there with you if I could! This sounds awesome!
This sounds like pure torture, but I totally wish I lived close so I could go with you (post baby, of course)!
I can't believe you did all this on Friday and looked so rested on Saturday when I saw you! I would have been walking around whining all weekend. Good for you!
