Boot Camp results – (yay, I’m in better shape!)

Six weeks of booty-kicking workouts and what do I have to show for it? Monday night, we got weighed, measured, and timed to see how our fitness compares to when we first started the FitWit Boot Camp. Overall, I’m pleased with my results.

I gained a couple of pounds, which was expected, since we’ve been building muscle… but unfortunately, my body fat stayed the same. I blame it on my splurge on sweets in San Francisco last week. (Or was it all those Dove ice cream bars last month???) Seriously, though, my diet could use a little tweaking. But I got lots of good news. I lost an inch in my hips and two inches in my waist. Fitness-wise (most important, IMO), my one-mile run time improved by more than two minutes – yay! And I can now do 34 pushups in one minute compared to 26 when I started; 36 situps instead of 30; and 45 squats instead of 27. Sweet.

This is Joel, a personal trainer and one of our camp leaders. He set some new goals for me as we get started with our second six-week camp. Yes, my husband and I are back for round two!

Oh, and something cool I’ve been meaning to tell you about this program – as you’re getting in shape, you’re also giving back to the community. Some of the money for the classes goes to The FitWit Foundation, a non-profit group that offers free fitness, tutoring and summer camp programs for low-income young people in our neighborhoods. So you can really feel good about your workouts. Now, if I could just do something about that sweet tooth…
