Sweatsuit to Swimsuit Bootcamp Challenge: Week 1

Last Sunday I started SparkPeople's Sweatsuit to Swimsuit Bootcamp. It's a free program to follow(and SparkPeople is an awesome free website to help you reach your fitness goals. You can track your food, get free food plan ideas for the week, track your fitness, and get fitness plans to follow), and I got an email about their Sweatsuit to Swimsuit Bootcamp challenge that goes for 28 days in May. Every day you do a 5-10 minutes online workout video that usually has you doing some sort of strength training (all you need is a resistance band, which I had). Then Mon-Fri you do 30 minutes of cardio of your choice in addition to the video. Voila. Bootcamp.

This week I successfully did every single video, and every day of cardio. Sometimes I did more than 30 minutes, other times I felt like doing anything but work out, but still made myself complete it. However, this week I felt like I had more energy than I usually do, and I'm looking forward to this next week. I'm guessing we'll just repeat week 1's videos, so it helps to be able to choose different cardio to mix it up a bit.

Here are the stats from this week:
Cardio Goal in Minutes: 150
Actual Cardio Minutes Completed: 305

Calorie Goal(given by the site): 1080
Actual Calories Burned: 1820
