Well we are coming near the end and last night was the end of my Burn classes. Call me crazy but I LOVE having my butt kicked in that class. I'm a horrible runner - my speed is very slow, my endurance is well pathetic - but this has been the best class to get over some of these running issues and really step it up. Normally I would run on a treadmill at 5 for about a 12 minute pace and stay there for a couple of miles if I could. I've battled knee problems and shin splits for years so running is always unpredictable. But, these Burn classes have made me step completely out my comfort zone to try running at a 10 incline, to sprint over 6 (which ok I know is most people's runs) but it's way out of my comfort zone. The combination of all the hills and speeds has given me a new perspective on how to approach my running from now on. My body may not like it but it can handle it and it feels so great at the end.
I'm also really thankful for all the great exercises I've picked up between the running intervals. Having gone to both bootcamp burn and burn baby burn I've found a lot of great core moves to do on the bosu or ball. I found some great plank exercises to really maximize my time and the intensity.
I have no doubt that if I was able to do these classes a couple times a week I'd be in the best shape of my life. Sadly for now I'll be replacing them with Bosu Challenge classes and other high intensity runs and cardio workouts but I have a feeling later this year I'll be back there for Round 2.
Good bye for now, I'll miss you Burn.
