Second day of bootcamp

Ok so once again very much out of shape. I had my body compostition fat percentage done today and I need to lose 2% or more but my body mass index was good the instructor said so I did not feel too bad. I knew I was going to be a little sore today but wow I have really bad shin splints that do not want to go away my abs are a little sore today as well but other than I feel pretty good. I got to bootcamp at 5:15am today so I could remind the instructor about my knee issues and she appreciated me telling her so she does not push me more. So today in bootcamp I did a push up test and I was only able to do 15 girl push-ups. We also did a small little hike up a steep hill. Then we had to run to some park benches and tables where we did step-up switching legs on the benches then to push-ups on the tables both normal and triceps the triceps push-ups are so hard especially for me I have absolutely no arm strength. After these excercises we ran back to our mats where we did some abs for about 3 minutes whatever kind of abs excercise we wanted. After this we did a small circuit that contained jumping jacks, v jacks, lunge jumps, and also squat jumps. After the circuit which lasted about two and half rounds for me. We were back at the mats for more ab work. This time we did small crunches, then plank, then frog crunches, back to plank, then frog crunch extenstions back to plank. This back and forth of back to tummy was really great and made it feel like cardio I really enjoyed doing the abs exercises. The last thing we did today was jump rope which is very hard for me because of my knees so I did it for awhile but then stopped and did some lunges and squats on the curb. Tonight I know I am going to have to ice my knees otherwise they will get swollen or really sore. I know I have to be really careful and not over do it but I really want to get toned and the first time in my life I am actually motivated to get in shape for no one else but me. (Well maybe the wedding is inspiration as well).
