I called it - 20 heads today exactly.

Just another day at the office (gym) today, it's becoming quite routine now. There were a few moments of "wow, this is hard!" but less than previous days. The hour went quickly and was over before I knew it. We added "alligator walk" today and increased the reps on a few exercises. The hopping knee lifts, one of my least favorites, was modified to become "traveling hopping knee lifts". It's a very Jane Fonda / cheerleader type of movement. Your basically skipping in place lifting alternating knees as high as possible while raising arms up and then down quickly so that your hands come down on either side of the lifted knee at it's highest point. I think we need some YouTUBE video to illustrate. The traveling variation was sideways back and forth across the gym.

Since I'm not a total wreck now after the first week of bootcamp I think I'll work my upper body and especially biceps later today and again on Sunday. They're feeling a little left out. I'm gonna start to do more regular stretching also - I can see now how badly I need it. I'll take Riley for a nice long sunset walk tonight too - he likes that and I get 4 miles with 25 lbs on my back in the bargain!
