Houston Boot Camp

If you’ve been reading my blog or following me on Twitter, you know that over the last year I’ve struggled to lose the 50ish pounds I gained during my pregnancy.  For a woman that’s just 5’1, I couldn’t wait to drop those extra pounds and it’s taken me nearly a year and a half to do it!  
A gorgeous blogging buddy from Houston invited me to participate in a boot camp, Houston Area Adventure Boot Camp, the longest-running boot camp in the Houston area.  Over the last seven years they have helped more then 5200 people achieve their fitness goals.  I immediately knew I wanted to bring my girlfriend (and workout partner since college) since she’s always up for these types of adventures.
We showed up just before the class was about to start at 6:30 p.m. (although they offer morning classes too), with the Houston heat not letting up a bit.  Neither of us had done a boot camp before, so we didn’t know what to expect.  Immediately, we met the awesome trainer, TJ, and two other women, who made us feel right at home.  Here we are with TJ:)

This class kicked our butt!  We did drills where we had to pick up a poker chip, run up a hill to find out what exercise corresponded to the chip, run back down the hill, ultimately doing 15-30 repetitions of 30 exercises.  OUCH!  We were sweating and panting and our heart rates were UP for the entire hour!  TJ was so encouraging and helpful and FUN!  They played hip hop music and the other people in the class were super sweet.  It’s easy to make friends when you’re all commiserating from running up that dang hill and doing your 50th pushup!

Just before class ended, my girlfriend became the photographer and shot some pics so I could show you.

Isn’t it a pretty park where the class is held? So nice to get outside after a long day at the office.

And I LOVE that my single girl snapped a pic of the hot guy! I laughed so hard when I saw this pic on my camera! 🙂  Get fit and meet men- perfect for you single ladies!!

  5. I didn't realize you are as teeny as me, Megan! {Well, actually…I'm 4'11"}…

    Good for you getting back that pre-James body! Yoga and walking are more my speed, but bootcamp looks like fun…

  7. You look amazing!! I do the same boot camp, but in Indianapolis. I absolutely love it and I'm totally addicted!! Getting ready to do my 18th session!!!

  8. You look great girl! And that book camp looks like fun. Entertaining enough to make you feel like you aren't actually working out, eh?. Even though I love to work out at home, I've been thinking of doing some of these to get out meet more people.

  9. Hi. I didn't see where to order on the website. But I would like to order one set of abs. you know, like yours. If you could let me know how to purchase, that would be great. Thanks, xoxo shelli

  10. Boot camps looks fun! I agree–it is wonderful to get outside the office after a long day 🙂 Get yo' fitness on! 🙂

  11. Wow Megan you look fantastic – great job! I haven't tried a boot camp, but have thought about it, not sure I can commit to a time though. I enjoy my runs and workouts in my little home gym, but perhaps having a guy like TJ pushing me on would make me work harder! Thanks for sharing!

  12. Oh my sweet mercy. I don't think I've had abs like yours in 10 years. I don't even know if I have abs anymore. I think maybe I could just be the water girl. I'm sure I could get a work out toting the water around. In all seriousness, I've been contemplating asking for some personal training sessions for Christmas or something.

  13. Hotsie Totsie! I've always wanted to do a Bootcamp, but the timing sucks. I usually just work out at lunch. This one sounds fun (?!) though.

  14. You look amazing. I started running again this past May and my body is starting to transform. I luv how fit you are. Even though I don't have any kids as of yet. I figured why not start back up just to be in shape prior to and it'll motivate me to be workout out post-baby.

    Gosh…you've really inspired me to get out there and keep it up. I bet boot camp was fun. I like that type of workout. Anyway…keep it up! You look amazing.

  16. Hi-

    You do look great and I was wondering if you might share what your diet or eating plan is and how often you work out. I am 5'2" and normal weight of 110. I had no trouble losing weight after my first baby then the 2nd took about a year and now with my third I am a mess and she just turned 2! I have 30 pounds to lose and need some motivation…any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks
