Boot Camp

On nights I work at the restaurant, I can't fall asleep immediately when I get home. So I read or watch DVR'ed Oprah shows, you get the jist. Last night, I was watching HGTV, and it went off the air at 1:00 a.m., and the Barry's Boot Camp Infomercial came on.

Id' like to preface by saying I've never ordered anything from an infomercial before, but this one seems like a pretty good deal. The idea is that in a 21 minute exercise session, you complete each exercise for one minute at 100% effort. So you max out that muscle group, take a rest for 30 seconds, and then go on to the next exercise. As they kept saying in the video, "It hurts, but you can do ANYTHING for one minute! (Bright white smiles, and gleaming bodies)."

It comes with the ball (mine is a normal looking ab ball, but is in bad shape, so I needed a new one anyway), the "Barry's patented resistance bands," and the various DVD's.

The whole package should be here by the end of the week, and we'll see.

I will follow it closely for one month and record the results. I don't feel I need to lose weight, but I think this in conjunction with running will certainly provide more muscle definition than I have at the moment.

I'm not sure I'll love being yelled at by Barry. But then again... maybe I will!
