9 years 3 months - Barry's Bootcamp

Wednesday - December 22, 2021

I started Barry's Bootcamp! The only treadmill and only time I actually run! The treadmill there provides bounce and cushion into my running step. I actually don't feel pain during my runs in class. No aches after either. So far so good with an hour class and about a 10 minutes total of running.

I've also been doing a lot of hiking during nice hot days. Also a lot of walking. I'm noticing my max amount of steps in a day is 13k steps. Anything more will cause my ankle to ache. I'd feel tired and achy for a day or two after. I'm also making sure I wear good hiking trail shoes so I don't slip.

I look forward to more hikes and workouts to come in the new year! More Body Combat, Turbo Kick, Hiking, and Barry's classes! I haven't been back to the gym and so far continue virtual at-home workouts. Next is to get into cycling, which I will soon pick up a bike from a friend.

Best of luck to all in the new year! Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

It's the new year and you know how it goes, working out to get rid of the holiday pounds for the new year resolution. Way to start off this new year!

I took my first Full Body Barry's Bootcamp that involved running on a treadmill! 2 sets of treadmill workout that equals to about 25-30 minutes of running. Here's the full information:

25-30 minutes of cardiovascular treadmill intervals and 25-30 minutes of strength training utilizing weights, resistance bands, medicine balls and other equipment to target a variety of different muscle groups followed by a short stretch and cool down.

I got there nervous. I wasn't sure if I was able to make the entire run. I haven't ran in months! When it came to the treadmill session, the first session started at a Level 4 Speed and some incline to a Level 3 to begin. I was able to do the minimum and went up to the most at Level 5.5 Speed and at max incline at Level 4. I stuck with it and was able to run without issues! After the second session, I was getting tired. I didn't push myself too hard just in case of reinjuring and worried about the pressure I was putting on it. I loved the treadmill though, it was so bouncy and supportive, not like the other gyms I've been to.

Here's what it looked like inside. I loved their treadmill! The tread was made of actual tire like treads. I felt comfortable and not in pain at all when running! However, my ankle did feel tired. Great start to this new year!
