Today marks the end of the first week, and the Angels have been doing great! They're starting to settle into routines and figure out what days and times are best for them to go to the gym. For some, they need that gym time early in the morning and a start to their day. For others, they like going after work to close out the day. Everyone who has been in town has hit the gym almost every day!
I think some of the Angels are surprised at how well their bodies are responding to the workouts already. Some teammates have mentioned feeling more comfortable in their own skin and a confidence in their walk that they didn't have before this challenge started. I think this is due to the fact that we're more aware of ourselves, what our bodies can achieve, and let's face it... working out doesn't have to be something that you dread.... it's fun and gives you energy! (Yes, you read that right... working out GIVES you energy!)
We had our first boot camp with Sirena on Thursday, and one of the things that I love about our team is that we're all at various different levels of fitness. Those of us who have worked with personal trainers in the past were able to modify the boot camp circuit exercises to make them more suited to their fitness level, and for the Angels who are getting back into the world of fitness the boot camp was just right. We were encouraging each other, laughing and singing all while working up a sweat. Though, dare I say I think Sirena might have gone easy on some of us because it was our first week? Have I just given myself a severe workout sentence with those words? Guess I'll find out! Bring on week two!
