Oh MY God!!!
Today was our first fitness challenge... boy was it a challenge and a major wake up call that I need others to push me (thanks Shane... just kidding) to my ultimate limits.

The weather was cold, windy BUT at least it didn't rain :-)
We started with a few laps of running and jumping jacks, stretching and s-u-i-c-i-d-e-s... YIKES!!! There were five pilons set up for us and we did three sets with about a minute rest in-between. This was the start to a puckish feeling. Have you ever pushed yourself to the point where you thought "I'm going to throw up, not only what I ate for breakfast but also what I ate for dinner the day before?" It's not a good feeling however, you do get past it and you move on to your next challenges, which consisted of: push ups for one minute, burpees for another minute, running down stairs and doing side squats as we came up the stairs then running to top of hill!!! Oh yah, I almost forgot... the cool down/stretching :-)

Today's workout was insane, challenging, pushed us to our limits...
Look forward to keeping up with the blogging and we have some "homework" that we need to keep up with as well, meaning challenging ourselves a few times a week on our own until we meet with the group again on the weekend.

Until next time...
