Starting Over: My Journey to Fitness at Burn Bootcamp

Around Town· Mom Life

Many of you know, I started working out in December and came SO close to my 3 month term but ended up quitting on myself for many reasons which you can read about here.

This time I’m in it to win it! I’m SO excited to be partnering with Burn Bootcamp Lake Murray for the next 6 months! This experience is unlike any I’ve had before.

I’ve been going every weekday for the last week (since I started) and I feel like this is a habit I can keep up with ease. It’s only about 8-10 minutes from my house, so it’s not hard for me to get all of us out the door and to the gym on time every day.

There are certain class times and four of them include childcare (8:30, 9:30, 4:30 and 5:30). The childcare teacher is the same each time and is a retired pediatrician so I feel really good about handing over my kids each day. Finley is not a fan of new people and places (I really don’t know how that happened) so I like knowing that after a while, this will be normal and comfortable for her.

Last week on my first day at Burn, Finley SCREAMED the entire time. It was stressful for me not only to hear her crying but to think about the poor teacher having to deal with her and also mind all the other kids. People noted my anxieties and everyone assured me that it was going to be OKAY. I was told that this 45 minutes is my time to get my workout in and not to worry about the kids for a while. They got this. Any now, a week later, Finley still cries a little bit but she also plays and interacts with the other children. So we aren’t there yet but PROGRESS.

I love the classes so much. Everyone I have met so far is super nice and welcoming and the vibe is very motivating. There are plenty of high fives and asking questions is completely welcome if you aren’t sure of a workout or if you think you are doing it wrong.

Every day at Burn is something different. Legs, arms, core, cardio, strength, you name it, it’s covered. While we focus on one thing each session, I still feel like I get a pretty solid full body workout in the 45 minutes I’m there. We warm up before each Burn workout and we cool down and stretch at the end, which I think is definitely the reason I’m not majorly sore all the time.

There have been two dress up days so far and I’m HERE FOR IT. I love dressing up and getting into the spirit of theme days so this is definitely my kind of place! I love the Burn community because they lift each other up and even get together outside of the classes. There are play dates and walks on the Dam and all sorts of things that I can’t wait to join in on!

Another motivating factor is that while there are women of all different shapes and sizes at Burn, these ladies put in the work and they look GOOD! I can tell they are strong and getting more fit every day!

I’m already planning ways to save my money so that when my 6 months is up I can continue going to Burn. I’m a week in and I’m already addicted!

If you are in the Lake Murray/Irmo area you should join me sometime and see what I’m so excited about! I don’t get anything out of you coming with me, I just want to share the love! Burn offers a free 14 day trial, which is a ton of time to see if you like it!

We just got back from a week long vacation where w We just got back from a week long vacation where we had multiple things booked every single day 😴. My mother in law planned a family trip for her 60th birthday and didn't want a dull moment and she got her wish! As an extrovert I loved the action and fast pace, but I'm taking a couple days to recuperate 😅. Now to start saving for the next adventure!! Any tips on Missouri??

Do you like busy vacations or just laying around relaxing?

Breaking in my new walking shoes from @kurufootwear 🤗. This particular pair is pretty much as close to wearing socks as shoes as you can get! They are comfy and flexible and lightweight. For now they are great for my 30 minute walks! Having broken my toe/foot in some way a few months ago, I found I need a little more cushion if I'm going to go longer. The part that broke still stings from time to time if I walk too long. I love how easy these are to slip on and go!

Sometimes I listen to podcasts but tonight I listened to upbeat music and it was just what I needed 🤗. (I text James after I'm up the road so he knows I'm gone, but only after I'm out the door or everyone will want to come...sometimes I wanna go alone)

I'm glad we still have our @oakiwear rainsuit from when Leopold was this age! Swipe to see when we first got it! I was especially grateful that I could easily see her as she explored in the trees with her new friends. Nature school is child led learning and I love that, but I definitely struggle with not hovering just a little but 🙈.

We had an action packed start to spring break with We had an action packed start to spring break with our 2nd camping trip followed by a beach trip! We did all of this in two days and while yes, I'm exhausted 😴 I'm so glad we got out there again! 

I found a small camp site on a plantation/working farm near @visitfb (Folly Beach) using @hipcamp and it was so unique and definitely primitive 😆. No water, no electricity, and one outhouse for all 6 sites to share. And when I say outhouse I mean OUTHOUSE 🏕 

We heard cows and coyotes all night, along with the occasional donkeys and rooster. I figured I would struggle to find a place to stay during spring break, and so last minute, but I snagged this beautiful spot right on the marsh with no issues and for $25! 

This go around a friend from Leopold's school and her mom came along after we had our site set up. It was nice having another grown up around!
