Ten things I learned at my first bootcamp workout

I started a new bootcamp workout class this morning.
Six a.m. is really freaking early, you guys.
So here are a few things I learned on my first day:

1. I need to buy a better workout top. The one I wore today is OK for the treadmill at the gym, but bootcamp is no treadmill! No one needs to see my belly as my shirt rides up, and I feel like I spent a lot of time tugging and pulling on it. (Recommendations welcome!)
2. Don’t say dumb things to the trainer. He will make you hurt. I grabbed a 15 lb kettlebell, and he saw me and said, “Have you held a 20 lb baby? You can do 20 lbs” and I (stupidly) said “I can do anything with a 20 lb baby!” so now he won’t let me do anything with less than 20 lbs. Remind me not to tell him that Max weighs 40 lbs.
3. My form is much better on the first circuit than the third.
4. I can do 16 sit-ups with a 9 lb medicine ball in 60 seconds.
5. I’m determined to make the ropes my bitches.
6. I wish I’d brought a notebook to write down all of my reps, so I can compare in a few weeks. I’ll probably do this tomorrow.
7. Getting my workout done first thing in the morning sets a different tone for my day, in a good way. I feel like if I can do that, I can do anything today.
8. I should consider hiring someone to come wash my hair afterwards, because raising my arms already hurts.
9. This is one time when driving Jamie’s teeny tiny car stinks. It is LOW.  While I can fall into it after class, it just means I have to climb out of it when I get home. It was easier at 27 weeks pregnant.
10. I can’t wait to go back tomorrow!

Have you tried a bootcamp workout? Did you like it?
I think a big part of why I enjoyed it so much is because I feel like I have concrete numbers I can use to measure my progress, which is something that I never really get on the treadmill or stationery bike at the gym.
