Too far behind to catch up!

Nine days behind! Nine days of crazy workouts. Well, eight days and one day off.

I worked out, I worked out hard. I taught Body Boot Camp three times a week and plus did my own thing. I worked with Erinn on her running, too. Some days I did too much and I think I've learned enough that I'll make my schedule easier on myself this next week. On the days I teach my class, I will *not* go to the gym in the morning and do 90 minutes of circuits and cardio!

Today was back/abs and cardio. It was a good workout, but I'm not going to post it all. Instead I'll post one of my boot camp workouts this week. I'll post the one that hit our legs hard.
