Yesterday’s national tequila day resulted in this:

A grapefruit margarita from Earl’s. I was supposed to teach bootcamp last night, but when I got there, the front desk notified me that the client cancelled. So, I rung up my good friend Nicole, and we had a drink! She got a strawberry one:

I ended up just having dinner there as well. I had a salad with cajun chicken, black beans, corn, avocado, and tortilla strips. It hit the spot. AND perfectly complimented my margie!

TODAY was a different story. I got my Best Body Bootcamp workout in this AM at the gym by my house, then I drove straight downtown and taught a seriously intense bootcamp. Here’s the recap!

Intervals on the treadmill:

Followed by 2 rounds of the core circuit given to us for Week 1.

SWEATY!

Then, at bootcamp:

Each move was performed for 50 seconds with 10 seconds of rest. Each round was done 2x through. In the first round, the 3rd and 4th move were done with the left leg, and in the 2nd round the right leg. Got it?

Round 1

weighted squats
jump squats
weighted lunge pulse (first time through, left leg forward. second time through, right leg forward)
weighted side lunge (first time through, left leg steps to the side, second time through right leg steps)

Cardio Set

high knees (30 sec)
butt kicks (30 sec)
180 degree jump squats (30 sec)

Round 2

kettlebell swing (you can use a dumbbell)
squat hold
squat and press (hold weight in left hand, squat, and as you come up- press the weight up over your head. switch to right hand the second time through)
reverse lunge and twist (first round, step back with your left foot, twist your torso and the weight to the left. Second time through, do it to the right)

Cardio Set

high knees (30 sec)
butt kicks (30 sec)
180 degree jump squats (30 sec)

Ab Circuit

Crunches
V-ups
Plank holds (60 sec)
Bicycle crunches
leg lifts
2x

My workout plan for this bootcamp was inspired by Day 2 of the Best Body Bootcamp workout- my class loved it!

Tonight’s dinner was the Chicken Enchilada pasta that I posted yesterday. And it didn’t disappoint. It was super easy to make, even easier to eat, and I’m guessing the leftovers are going to taste best!
