For those of you who have mentioned calf soreness – I’m with ya! LOL!
Diep, you can try the cardio and add whatever you want. Like I mentioned, the key is doing something. So it’s good to hear you are working off some of that cabin fever. Brad
Wednesday:
Still going easy with the knee.
– 3 rounds of 3min overhead squats for 342 total
– Started day 1 of 100 pushup regimen, 52 total pushups in 5 sets
James ~ You’ll come to love that sore feeling ~ a) it doesn’t stay that intense as you get stronger and lighter and b) you’ll know why you feel stiff instead of just feeling like crap for no good reason. At least that’s how it was for me. Sore is good – it means you worked hard. 🙂 That said, don’t hurt yourself! 🙂
OK, I’m back! (I think). Having a touch of something (flu/now fun cold), so I just took it really easy (lots of sleep) Monday – Wednesday. Today, I feel about 90% so Erin and I got after it and did yesterday’s WOD. Specifics:
Warm up
10 minutes core work (no rest)
WOD results:
Erin
199 Overhead Squats
9 minutes Total hard/full out cardio (in lieu of Burpees)
Julie
186 Overhead Squats (using a 12 lb body bar for as long as I could)
104 Burpees (no lungs from the cold, these were tough)
I hope to feel even better tomorrow to push myself a bit harder so I make up for lost time. Can’t wait to see everyone on Monday!
Did Tuesday’s jumping jacks and Wednesday’s squats & burpees (who came up with that name, kinda funny). Boy, are those things harder than I thought! Reps:
Squats = 151
Burpees = only 49 🙁 I did a combination of the easy/progression
I don’t know about anyone else but my calves are sooooo sore!! I’m hobbling around my house like an old lady 🙂 pretty funny.
Don’t think I can do anything today that requires exercising my legs. Maybe today I will do core stuff.
I have been watching my diet and drinking alot of water. Also, exercising the art of patience..3 kids home from school and arguing like crazy. Come on sun, melt that ice!!!!
Since it is still icy outside, I did my WOD cardio here at home, with my husband and 2 little sons. Can you say cabin fever? My workout was:
Tuesday – 30 minutes of jumping jacks
Wednesday – 30 minutes of overhead squats and burpees
These are exercises I am not used to doing when I go to the gym. So my calves are really sore. I’ve been stretching, using my foam rollers, and drinking lots and lots of water (between 64-96 ounces per day). I’m walking around like an old lady, so my husband says. I was wondering if I should continue my WOD cardio or rest up my calves? Should I just concentrate on just upper body?
– Upper body and arms: Removed wallpaper and sanded entry way walls.
– Cardio: Walked to grocery store.
🙂
2/2 (Wednesday)
Squats ~ 255
Burpees ~ 88 (umm, yeah ~ need to work on upper body strength for sure!)
At work today (2/3) so will try & get my cardio in after work…. Does slipping & sliding on a walk with my dog count instead 🙂
I only had about 40 min this morning to squeeze in my workout before going to work, but did the recommended cardio for today: 10 min of core warm up (3 sets each of leg lifts, and side to sides with 10 lb weight) Then did 5 min medium on stationary bike, 5 min fast on elliptical, and 11 min mile on treadmill.
Resting my still swollen knee. Ortho said surgery not needed right now. YES! He also said running is not needed right now, waaah.
Workout: 3 sets biceps, triceps, shoulder press, rows with 20 lbs. Performed as 3 supersets. Last set was to exhaustion.
Great Posts Everyone! Remember that anything is better than nothing and the next three weeks we will get in 13 boot camp sessions. Make sure you let us know what you did as this will help others possibly get some motivation to do their own workout
The last 3 days have been an exercise FAIL for me. But been eating healthy and started the 24 day challenge yesterday. Feel great about that. Hoping for a 10 pound loss like my last 24 day challenge. That will put me back to my goal weight. Hoping to make up for lost time and begin the workouts tomorrow thru the rest of the week.
Work closed early today, so I did my exercise while watching the Mavs game. Squats: 204, Burpees or Up-Downs: These are very challenging; I did 20 regular then modified using a step stool (11″ off ground) for anoter 158. I didn’t have anything lower in my apt to modify this with, next time in gym I can use an aerobics step, hope that’s ok! Then I did some core work: 300 rotations on my Ab Circle Pro (about 6 min nonstop), 3 sets of Planks (30 sec each), and bicycles (60).
Tuesday 2 hrs outside shoveling ice, but stayed warm even in 20 degree weather–that’s how I knew it counts as cardio>

Worked from home and got bored so I went outside, fed the birds and chopped up the ice on my driveway so I can get out tomorrow and go to the gym. My driveway goes down hill toward the garage door—really worked up a sweat!
I know—I am a slacker!
288 reps for me.
1/31 Monday – Started Boot Camp & Back to Yoga which I’d been remiss in doing for 4 mo. Upper Body sore from 5:30 am workout, Lower Body sore from 10:45 yoga and my core is screaming from both!
2/1 Tuesday – Trapped inside with 4 kiddos that did not go to school today! Plans for cardio workout at YMCA are completely foiled by ice and kids! YMCA I know you are so close, but sorry not about to risk my life on the ice…got too many people counting on me. But hey, is running up and down the stairs to break up sibling rifts, put away laundry, bringing down laundry, putting baby down for nap considered cardio? I haven’t had much time to set down. Man do I need one of those BodyBugs, I’d love to know how much energy I burn being a stay at home mom of 4.
2/2 Wednesday – Oh, my…another day with husband working from home, 4 kids and a cat stuck in the house. Never mind the workout today is just NOT happening! Trying not to lose my patience with the 4 kids being cooped up and cagy!
Watching my diet a little more carefully, taking my vitamins, trying to keep my caffeine intake way down and to watch my fluid intake. My muscles are sore and they seem to be recovering some. Glad to know that after 4 kids there are some core muscles screaming to be let out under the baby fat! Gives me hope…
From Tuesday’s Cardio: The repetitive jumping jacks were good. I didn’t rest as long between sets because I was getting bored waiting for my minute to pass.
I did the overhead squats and burpees today. Yesterday I did the jumping jacks.
ANSWER for CABIN FEVER!!!! Squats and Burpees. OMG!!
Squats – 312
Burpees – 119
301 reps for me.
Oh and a small core workout…I am proud that I did it on my own! 🙂
I did the 6 sets of burpees and overhead squats (yes I took a broom to my apartment gym..can you imagine the looks LOL). I did a total of 299 on the reps and then an extra 10 minutes of slow, med, fast on elliptical.
i did a one hout Jillian dvd it had lots of cardio and tough muscle work
I was sore Tuesday morning and knew that I needed to workout, so I went to the apt. Gym got on the treadmill . Doing slow med fast for 35 min. Today I did one of the biggest loser cardio workouts . I’m also planing to do today’s workout .
I did 6 miles of 1 minute intervals on the treadmill yesterday afternoon.
3 miles on the treadmill yesterday. Set up the treadmill in my garage so I stayed pretty cool during my workout. This morning I did cardio circuits followed by some core and upper body exercises to keep my heart rate up. Feeling pretty tired this afternoon but glad I got all of my workouts done so far this week!
James, know that the soreness will go away. I am sure some of the campers that went through what you may have gone through these first few days can give you some light. Brad
I did the fast,medium and slow on the treadmill both yesterday and today. Then yesterday did an extra 3 miles medium walking. Today only did 1.5 extra walking.
Dear Administrator, I already took a shower so it is too late.
After the first real day of exercising in a long long while on Monday, my workout for Tuesday was stretching a little and managing to actually get out of bed. What have you people done to me?!?!?! Why, why I say does this hurt so badly!!! I tried to do some imaginary jump rope but the screams of agony woke up the neighbors.
For Wednesday I will be stretching some more and doing cardio with my stone-age stairmaster (aka, the first step of my stairs).
I have continued with better eating, drinking more water, and continue to be an ex-smoker.
Cynthia, It’s only 3:00pm you have plenty of time left in the day.
Well, my workout was navigating the icy roads 🙁 So very impressed with everyone’s posts. Keep it up, Boot Campers!!!!!!! Cynthia Linder
I did 40 minutes of slow, medium, and fast on treadmill…my fast was at 8.0! I am so excited because that is the fastest I have ever ran. I was extremely tired after only one minute but kept pushing. I know I will improve!!
(For Tuesday) ~ decided to use my clothes hanger (oops, I mean treadmill) for 45 minutes with the Slow-Medium-Fast combo & then ab exercises (plans, bicycle, superman) for about 10 minutes.
WIll post when I get today’s exercises done after work….
Be safe driving out there!
I went to the fitnes center at my apartment complex today: Did 3 sets of 15 each seated row, chest press, bicep curl, and tricep pull down, and 10 min of core work. Then I ran 40 min on the treadmill rotating slow, med, fast. I picked up my 24 day challenge products yesterday, so I’m ready to go with that, but won’t be able to come to meeting next week because of work.
Hoping for another snow day tomorrow! 🙂
Tuesday
With my bum knee and still trying to rest it, I opted for a strength circuit:
– TRX for rowing superset with 12KG KB shoulder press
– Pushups to exhaustion for one set, negatives for 1 min on the second and 4-2-0 pushups for 1 min
– Y,T,L,W with 3# concentrating on shoulder activation at the start of the movement
– 1 min pillar bridge passing weight across the body, toe touches with weight, and medicine ball twists to finish
I was surprised how much jumping jacks could get my heart rate up! Today was the first time I’ve done the off day cardio from the website. And I’m glad I did! Way too cold to get outside today for a run.
