Bootcamp Day 1-

Today was the start of our exciting journey through Ilona's Intense Bootcamp. Sacha and I woke up super early to get our first workout in, and Alyssa and I got together this evening to do ours!

We started each session with 15 minutes of cardio. I prefer to run outside and Sacha prefers to run on her treadmill, so where ever you desire, run for 15 minutes before you get started. This helps get your heart rate up which will help burn calories during the workout!

Here is a picture from my run this morning!

 

After running for 15 minutes, we began our mini cross fit.

 

This includes:
1 Burpee and 5 Squats
2 Burpees and 4 Squats
3 Burpees and 3 Squats
4 Burpees and 2 Squats
5 Burpees and 1 Squat.
Rest for 45 seconds.
Repeat in the opposite direction!

We all also decided to keep a journal to record our daily food intake, and weekly weight and measurements! Remember ladies... eat clean, drink lots of water, and keep going! Good luck on your journey to a healthier lifestyle! :)
