Boot Camp in the Snow

Good morning!

I made a short little vlog for you guys Open-mouthed smile

Friday night I met some of my Saturday morning boot campers at one of  our favorite local spots to eat and drink for some tamales and boot camp margaritas. All week last week, the weatherpeeps were promising 8-14 inches in the front range, starting after midnight on Friday night. Friday afternoon, I finally put the email out cancelling boot camp the following morning.

But then you know what happens after a margarita or two…

Soon the group thought it was a fabulous idea to still do boot camp in a blizzard. Challenge accepted.

So we met at 8:30 in the morning, in pouring down, wet, soppy snow. Granted, I made the workout a shorter one, but it was intense.

Operation: Burn off the Margaritas Boot Camp

In partners:

30 vertical jumps

30 paces farmer walks down and back

30 burpees

30 push ups

30 dips

Indian runs

It only took a little more than 15 minutes, but at the end, everyone was WIPED – and my hair was sopped, haha. Then we grabbed breakfast at a diner across the street and warmed up with coffee, tea, and carnitas (well, that was just me – it was their special, and it was delicious.)

And that was about the extent of the snowstorm! After a promise of a ha-yuge storm, Shane and I cancelled our plans of driving to Ft. Collins, in lieu of a Season 5 Parks and Rec marathon. Fine with me. The show is pure genius.

I really want to be BFF’s with Leslie Knope.

Unfortunately, we’re almost caught up with season 5 now, so I’ll have to go find some other show to become obsessed with. On my  tried-but-no-luck list of shows are:

Arrested Development (just mildly funny)

Downton Abbey (only a little entertaining – and I’m on episode 5)

Homeland (just can’t get into it!)

I think there’s a couple more, but that’s all I’ve got for now.

Welp, off to seize the day! It’s a super incredibly busy day for me, starting at 6:15 a.m. and ending at 7:15 p.m. All fun fitness schtuff, though Open-mouthed smile See ya!

What about you? Working out in the snow: yay or nay?

  9. Omg you don’t like Arrested Development? Totally secretly judging you over here…it’s hilarious! You have to give it another chance. I’m also a huge Downton fan but I’m still very bitter about Season 3. So it’s ok if you don’t like that one haha :)

  11. Wow, you guys are hardcore! I think I’d like to try it once!

  12. I’m watching The Following on Hulu or reg T.V. not sure what night it’s on. And I LOVE Grimm.. Friday nights, again I watch on Hulu! The following has Kevin Bacon. It’s an FBI murder action/thriller and Grimm is about all things not of this world…. :)

  14. Um, you guys are crazy! It snowed in London today and it was the third time EVER that I’ve seen snow. I left work two hours early because I was so cold in my heated office so I would definitely not survive training outside!
