"you're gonna be hurtin' tomorrow"

I was so scared of today. And now I'm terrified of Friday. I think it's going to be an ongoing trend before each class because, as one of the quotes in the gym says, "yesterday was the easy day."

Today was TOUGH. And it was still just an intro day! From Friday on, we'll be with the rest of the class.

We worked with kettlebells today.














They're as horrible as they look, let me tell you. Thank goodness I'd been introduced to them before.

After our warm up, it began... First it was a set of squats and a set of lunges without the kettlebells. And then... then we added in those horrible things. Then we did these swing things incorporated with a squat. Squat down, and bring the kettlebell back, then stand up and bring it up shoulder high.
We did military presses with them... and a combination of arm curls, presses and arm extenions. boy that was fun!
We did these windmill type things where you hold the kettlebell up with one hand straight in the air, lean over and grab a second kettlebell, life it, then back down.

While laying on the floor and hold a kettle bell up (and not moving it), we had to sit up. if you think it sounds easy.. you're WRONG.

I think I'll always forget things that we did. That's just how I am. The memory fails me all the time.

While we were stretching after we were finished, one of the other newbies asked, "what should we be doing between now and friday?" Apparently she didn't listen on Monday b/c we were told. We were told that for the first week, we should just do bootcamp. After that, do cardio on our days off. Anyway, after being asked that, the instructor gave a humored look and said, "nothing. you're gonna be hurtin' tomorrow."

Hell, I've been hurting all day!
