Fargo Moorhead Bootcamps

I joined the gym and started doing boot camps with the same goal in mind as everyone else… losing weight.  However, I have a few difficulties to overcome. I had never been to a gym before (well, except the high school gym in PE class almost 10 years ago)  so to say that I was intimidated would be putting it mildly.  I was so scared of the gym!  Other than walking my dogs I have not purposely done any physical exercise, and felt pretty good about my weight.  Well, until I started a full time, sit-at-a-desk-most-of-the-day office job.  I am responsible for Marketing new food items to distributors and restaurants.  I love my job.. I get to eat new items all the time   Unfortunately I have gained over 30 pounds in less than a year.  Boot camps have already helped me feel better on the inside. 

 

Another difficulty I had was horrible back pain and I was going to the chiropractor up to 3 times a week.  My near sedentary lifestyle was fatiguing my muscles.  I also am a sucker for junk food.  So, I have also started to eat better at home, and of course I need to continue to work on that.  I even said good bye to the french onion dip in my fridge that has been a main stay in the house. 

 

 I want to build muscle, after having such horrible back pain I have become such a wuss, and can barely lift anything.  Furthermore, I was put on weight restrictions back in January and was scared to lift anything at all.  I look forward to seeing continued results, and have actually I have already had family notice some muscle definition and how much my energy level has increased.  Even better I have noticed less pain in my back and more of the "good" pain associated with exercising.  Bootcamps are the best way to exercise and are such a great motivator to get fit.  I actually miss bootcamps when I have other commitments.
