PPBC Week 3, Day 1 - Boot Camp is like a box of chocolates (or, Booty Camp)

Back from the weekend - fun filled, late nights, partying up. What would Wednesday bring?

The first thing I noticed after I got changed and came out was that Lauren (the founder) was teaching one of the two groups. I was both intrigued and nervous. The warm up began, definitely tough to run those laps after 4 days of no activity. The rest of the warm up was equally tough. Details are kinda fuzzy, but it was a combination of jumping jacks, pushups, mountain climbers, and sprints around the course (I hate sprints, and inevitably, I was the goat trailing in last place). When that was over, we were given two options: go through the course, directed by DI Alex, or, work with Lauren, and, in her words, 'do some ass!'. Diana, Sunil's friend, got very excited and urged us to choose this route. Hoo boy, I had no idea what I was getting into.

We went over to the PT space, were instructed to grab a bar. Then, were guided through a set of exercises which began with simple squats, and then squats combined with a leg lift on each side, and then squats a quarter of the way down, and then halfway down, and then all the way back up. Then it was time for mat work. The exercises included side leg lifts, yoga-esque leg throwbacks, and then what she called 'doing sissy on a fire hydrant'. The worst part was that we didn't alternate legs, almost all of them were done on one leg, then the next. I was near tears, but was more afraid that Lauren would look at me and see the tears running down my face.
My butt was definitely burning by the end of it. Another day over, two more days to go in the week.
