Enter Rocco, personal trainer and recent Albuquerque resident. I found him on my favorite Albuquerque website, Duke City Fix, in a blog post about his Boot Camp workout class. He actually helped a girl lose 30 lbs. in 30 days on the MTV show 'Made'. That was enough to get me interested. I had planned to go check it out since he offers the first day for free, but ever the procrastinator, I put it off. In the meantime, I added Rocco as a friend on Duke City Fix. So, yesterday, who shows up at Chroma Studios? Rocco himself! I guess he saw the sign for Chroma Studios and decided to stop in to check it out. Really nice guy. We had a nice chat and he gave me a few free passes for the boot camp. Now I guess I had no choice but to show up. He took the time out of his day, so why not go work out?
Damn you Rocco! What a workout! I haven't worked out that hard since my days in real boot camp(Army) when I was 18 years old. I'm a little older now, to say the least! I seriously thought I was going to die, or puke, or both. Thank god by the time I started getting the sick feeling in my stomach we were on the next to last exercise. I have to admit it felt good, once I was done! Although, my ENTIRE body was shaking for about an hour afterwards! What an awesome workout, but I have to say it wasn't like boot camp in one way, Rocco is a funny, nice guy! He made sure I did the exercises correctly and talked about eating candy at the State Fair! Nothing like the drill sergeants I had back in the Army. I'll be back on Wednesday for sure, time to lose that 30 lbs!

lol, hum I think I will stick with my slow plan (taken a year to lose 30). Although had my back been better I might have considered your boot camp. Best of luck with it.
LOL! Whatever works, you know? Good for you though, 30 lbs lost is 30 lbs lost!
My workout routine is better, Paula.
6am -- stretch waaay over to the alarm clock; snooze it.
6:40 -- strongly press the 'off' button
7:30 - 4pm -- sit, type, [hundreds of reps] hold the phone strongly.
5:00:05pm -- begin lifting 12-16oz bottles of liquid from about waist high to about chin high...hold the position...down, then repeat. MANY reps.
This routine has proved to increase my over-all girth and mass, thus further insulating my vital organs from harm. It's not for everyone, though. You may find you experience side-effects such as blurred vision, slurred speach, nudity, and befuddlement. Proceed with caution.
meetch,
that's too funny!
I often see a boot camp class in my neighborhood park and for a flash, consider it momentarily - but then think better of it when I get back to the safe confines of my home. Good for you - can't wait to see how your weight loss progresses! Good luck!
I myself turned to drugs and will find out in a couple of weeks how much I've lost. I know it's been at least 15-20 pounds since July 1 gauging from the way my clothing fits now.
