Ladies Bootcamp is VERY different than regular bootcamp. I have to learn that. Concentration on good form is more important than competition against ones self and others. I know good form is important in regular bootcamp, but I can sacrifice form when intensity increases. Not that competition is bad. If fact, it can be a good thing. But not here and not now.

Last night's workout was 20 squats, 20 dips, 20 step ups (I was soooo tempted to do jump ups but thought it would be showing off...and not good for the leg but thought I needed more cardio), and 3 stair repeats X 3. Yeah I was sweating after this.

Squats felt ok. Dips-couldn't do straight leg because the pull on the periformus and hamstring just didn't make that possible, 20 step ups-ok. Dam those stair repeats. Actually the stairs didn't feel bad. It was the sprint (which I just slowed to power walked) to the wall that was the worse out of all these. Hmmm. Doesn't really make sense.

Kel showed me a GREAT stretch for the periformus. After the 3 rounds, I did the stretches. While I waited for time to be called, I tried doing the straight legged dips. SUCCESS! I couldn't believe what a difference that stretch made. BTW I did stretch before I came to bootcamp so I didn't go into this cold.

Today the piriformus and hamstring is the same. Good news-no worse than yesterday.
