Game Plan

I have absolutely no problem sticking to an exercise program. Well, if it is short and sweet, that is. Last month I tried a Groupon deal at Evolution MMA. A group of friends and I met three times a week to endure a grueling 30 minute boot camp class with our trainer Eric (go see him). The class consisted of 30 minute, high intensity circuits. Some times we used weights, some times if was simply body weight. Regardless of what we did, it was intense. I managed to lose about 4 lbs. Then came time to renew and of course the price went up. The price is well worth it, but I discovered a program from my personal hero, Georges St. Pierre. No, he didn't create it, but he is front and center in all the videos. I found this reason enough to buy the Rush Fit program. ;) I am currently on day 3 and just finished 45 minutes of intense ab/core conditioning. The first 25 minutes of the workout was doable for someone that has a little fitness in their background. Then came the last 5 minutes. Omg! I kept thinking "WTF, this trainer (also named Eric) is insane!" We were instructed to do backbends, (which I was a pro at in my younger days) and this hands on the ground swing your body through into a v-sit and then back into a plank thing. Yea, I couldn't do it. I cannot hold my body weight up by my fists. Nope. Not this girl! However, I did my best! After the very first day I thought "Well, this isn't too bad." A lot of the moves in the first strength video were similar to things my previous trainers (Eric @ MMA & Scott @ CORE) had taught me. As I found on day 3, I was still in pain from that first day. So maybe the very first video was harder than I had thought. I have 7.5 weeks left on the program. Wish me luck!!! Oh, and 3 months to be in tip-top shape for my wedding.
