If you haven't seen it already, check out this movie "Second Term" from Jib Jab Media. It is pretty funny.
Boot Camp, Day 8. Theresa was our instructor today. She is good, and very nice, but she is really into the whole "Boot camp" mentality. She says "Tricep Push Back" and we have to shout "TRICEP PUSH BACK MA'AM". If we don't shout it loud enough, we have to do burpees instead. I bet you haven't heard "burpees" since elementary school.
Today was a "push" day again. So we did about 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer for cardio, and then hundreds of push ups, military presses, planks, etc. It was hard but definately easier than last week.
my favorite thing about that little animation is the end credits- where i noticed that the the funny little movie i just watched is dedicated to elvis.

A burpee is an exercise that sucks. You start out standing up, then drop to the floor in a squat position. Then, kick back into a push up position. Then go back to a squat. Then, jump in the air. Repeat. Really Really Fast. I don't love them.
