Now that felt good. Seriously good. Today's boot camp started out much harder than the first day's boot camp in October, yet most people's thinking was reset--participants reported it was challenging and tough, but do-able. That's the sweet spot that makes you tired, but also makes you want to come back.
If you weigh between 130 and 150, you burned between 260 and 500 Calories this morning, depending on your effort. BUT it was worth far more than 300 Calories on a treadmill or bike, because we worked almost every muscle in your body, and we did it anaerobically with a mind toward strength and explosive power.
What that means is that while 300 Calories of walking is great, it doesn't last more than a couple hours. In that 30 minutes this morning, you burned 300 Calories. You'll burn HUNDREDS more between now and Thursday from the after-effects. Your body will be trying to rebuild muscle, make more red blood cells, and will get every valuable amino acid out of the proteins you feed it, so make sure to feed it!
Cottage cheese, plain yogurt with berries (Greek yogurt is best!), lean beef, chicken, etc. are what your body wants to have to make your butt stronger, your arms more shapely, and your abs more solid. Like I said after the session this morning, make sure you give it plenty of protein daily, but especially right after the workout.
See you Thursday!
