My daughter and I have been attending a weekly Boot camp. It is
something we both need to do for various reasons and it has become "our
thing". The exercise is the main drawcard, the group is local and the
personal trainer encourages you to reach and even push through your
current fitness level which is a must for both of us. We both have a
tendency to back off before we reach our true potential.
At
first I was happy to attend, do my session through gritted teeth and
head home, ticking it off my list as something I had to do for both of
our well being, both physical and mental. It was on my weekly to-do
list, like a chore or weekly meeting with compulsory attendance.
Somehow,
and quite magically I have realised that I no longer see it as just
another thing on my list. I now look forward to the hourly session,
which is different each week. It is always a good workout which keeps it
interesting and challenging.
I realise though that
each week I am needing Boot Camp for the many benefits it now brings,
whether it is the relief it brings to my Anxiety Symptoms, the social
interaction of the group, or the hour dedicated to self healing.
The bonus of Boot Camp has turned out to be the group itself.
Initiated and
run by a person who walks the talk by continuing to improve her health
after losing close to 50 kilos, the personal trainer wants others to
feel the same satisfaction and pride in taking control of their fitness
and getting the best out of life. The people that make up the group are
quite a mixture in fitness, experience, age and personality. We have
felt welcomed from the start and the group is strong in its belief of
encouragement and is displayed each and every week, which also spills
over to encouragement on social media in daily achievements. We both
enjoy the group experience rather than exercising solo or one on one.
Everyone has different skills and assets, and I have been continually
inspired by many members in their achievements and commitment to their
individual goals.
I am thankful that we have joined this group, and thankful that we feel so supported.
