Boot Camp.....

.......from the other side!
 I had a great day! I got to hang out with some of my black belt friends, attend a hard core fitness class and watch some amazing students push themselves to the limit. It doesn't get any better than that!
In other years, I have gone and participated, pushed myself through the day, dreading  and then enjoying each new seminar. Yesterday was different as I push myself in different less obvious ways now. I am not only looking to get the job done, I am concentrating on how to get there in the most efficient manner, learning as much from the experience as humanly possible. I learned that I would like to learn more about grappling, as it is totally foreign to me to try out moves with someone on top of me. You have to be aware of how you move and how that affects how they can or can not move, I think. I have been concentrating on what I feel like when I move, I think that doing more grappling will take that to a whole new level.
I enjoyed helping with the fitness test and watching the students put their all into each exercise (yes, there was some cheer leading involved). I like sharing tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your muscles or how to improve your time.
I enjoyed the end of the day, being part of that energy bubble, experiencing other people's euphoria as they realize what they have accomplished, and of course, reviewing the entire experience with my daughter on the way home.
All in all a great day! I am already looking forward to next year!!!!
