I'm *just* starting to workout and track calories. As in, I went for my first walk (with some jogging thrown in) on Wednesday and then did Week1 Day1 of C25K on Thursday. I downloaded MFP today and logged in my food and exercise starting today. I have a long way to go. I haven't exercised in a very long time and have a lot of weight to lose.
A friend joined a boot camp that meets at a good time in the park that's within easy walking distance. I'd like to give it a try, but I'm really, really, really out of shape. I started walking/jogging the other day just so I would be in shape enough to make it through boot camp when I give it a try in a few weeks! I know that they jog around the entire park and there's no way that I'd make it right now.
So, my dilemma. I just found out that next week is "bring a buddy to camp" week. I'm not in much better shape today than I was 2 days ago (imagine that!) and there's no way I can jog around the park as a warm-up. The boot camp is on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I think that I'm allowed to attend all of the days next week, but it might just be one day.
DD has a field trip on Tuesday. I'm chaperoning and I'll be doing a lot of walking on the field trip. Like, lots. I'm a little worried that I'd be too sore on Tuesday if I try the boot camp on Monday.
So, if you were in my shoes, what would you do? Go ahead and try to do it or wait until I don't have to worry about completely embarrassing myself? If I go for it, should I wait until after the field trip? As far as I know, the "buddy week" happens once every 5 week session. And I can do a trial class for free at any time.
