Overall this week was pretty good in terms of workouts. Since Daylight Savings Time ended last weekend I have been enjoying the lighter evenings and managed to get in a few evening runs. I also completed the second week of Tina’s Bootcamp.
The workouts for Week 1 and 2 were all of the same exercises with just a different tempo each week. While I can not disclose the specifics of the workouts Tina put together, I thought I would share with you two of my favorite moves from weeks 1 and 2.
Straight Arm Plank with Leg Lift
This move was very challenging! Both weeks I found it difficult to complete the recommended number of reps but I took my time and really focused on my core muscles. I definitely need to keep up with the core moves!
One Leg Sit & Stands
I felt the burn in my quads the entire time I did these!
Last weeks workouts:
- Monday – Bootcamp Workout A
- Tuesday – 2 miles speed work on the track
- Wednesday – Bootcamp Workout B
- Thursday – 2 mile run
- Friday – Rest day
- Saturday – 5 mile run
- Sunday – Bootcamp Workout C
This weeks schedule:
- Monday – Bootcamp Workout A
- Tuesday – 3 mile run
- Wednesday – Bootcamp Workout B
- Thursday – 3 mile run
- Friday – Rest Day
- Saturday – 5 mile run
- Sunday – Bootcamp Workout C
I’m looking forward to the new workouts Tina designed for Weeks 3 and 4!
Question: How were your workouts last week? Any favorite moves to share?

The straight arm plank with leg lift was a killer for me too! I found that I couldn’t complete all 30, so I would just hold the plank for an extra 30-45 seconds after I couldn’t manage any more leg lifts.
My favorite moves were the squats. If only because I never do them on my own, and my glutes have been totally sore from them – meaning they’re working!

I’m feeling a little bad about my workouts from last week since I took rest days Friday, Saturday & today. :-\ I’m excited to get back to the gym tomorrow!

I’m inspired by those of you doing bootcamp– I need that motivation to keep intense strength training in my routine, sounds like killer workouts. Good for you for challenging your body!

Ha! I loved and hated the single leg sit stands last week. So tough!
