But what I’ve found out is that you can, to some extent, choose how you carry those numbers with exercise that focuses on sculpting. I dig Pilates for this (and a lot of other reasons), but other options abound. And if the numbers on Mr. Scale change, fine. But your strength goes up and your shape changes, and that’s better. Since when did you want to run pell-mell until you vomit, anyway??!

(And you looked just lovely in the wedding photo, by the way.)

I agree - it's so much gentler than boot camp with the same sort of satisfaction.</p> Yes, I do hot yoga – three to five times a week.

I think hot yoga is yoga boot camp! And it's awesome. And you lose weight and de-stress and detox. Way better than a crappy boot camp.</p> I was going to ask if you had ever done hot yoga but from some of the comments, it looks like maybe you have. I think hot yoga is yoga boot camp!

A workout should not be vomit-inducing and humiliating AT ALL. I never understood Boot Camp types of workouts like this if it just makes everyone feel like a loser and miserable. There's nothing wrong with having a trainer push you, but this sounds ridiculous.</p> Good for you! A workout should not be vomit-inducing and humiliating AT ALL.

EFFING. TIME. Doesn't matter if I was running against a fat, 50 year old newb they would kick my arse. Mega humiliating. In the end I would just skip the fitness tests. </p><br /><br /><p>So I totally feel you. </p> I think I have mentioned this too many times to mention but I did 8, yes EIGHT boot camps and in the fitness test I would come last in the 2 km run EVERY.SINGLE.
