Boot Camp

For the last couple of years I have been exercising to DVD's in my living room. Numerous unrestrained dogs in my neighborhood forced my daily routine from the streets to the carpet. I had been feeling the need to bump up my workout and found a wonderful website with a large variety of exercise videos that can be watched instantly.
As I browsed the videos available my eye caught one entitled: Boot Camp Session. I thought, "that's what I'm looking for!" It started off mild enough: stretches, walking and some other common exercise moves. But as the knee bends got DEEP and then she wanted me to get on the floor and do PUSH-UPS, I thought, "what was I thinking??" I'm sure this was nothing like real military boot camp, but when you're in your fifties, it doesn't take much for the body to feel like it's been there!
