Review: Valley Boot Camp

I've been dying to try a Valley Boot Camp session and I finally got the opportunity to do it this past week. Now I wasn't thrilled about dragging my butt out of bed at 5am to be on the Ramsey High School track by 5:30am, but I was in good company as there were nearly 20 other ladies who also rolled out of bed. It's also helpful to note that you will be churning out push-ups if you showed up late. No slacking here!!  (As a side note, there are later classes you can choose from. The earliest class just happened to fit my schedule best.)

With our lovely heat wave, it was a steamy 80 degrees by 5:30am, but that didn't stop instructor Chris Doran from giving us an incredible workout. (Although it made me nervous to hear her say she was "going easy on us" due to the heat. If this was easy, I'd hate to see what hard is!)

The workout started with running the bleacher stairs and evolved to walking lunges, planks, push-ups, mountain climbers, and lots of other tough exercises. By the end of this one-hour workout, I was coated in sweat. By the time I got into work, I could already feel the soreness in my legs. By the next day I was really sore.

Not only was Chris very motivating and supportive, but everyone in the session took the workout very seriously and pushed each other. There was no such thing as "I can't" -- mainly because you would be subjected to extra push-ups . LOL!!

All in all, I highly recommed trying a session. You won't be disappointed! Learn more about Valley Boot Camp.
