made my day

we recently had a schedule change where i intern and the boys can't go to the Y on thursdays anymore. so me and the other intern volunteered to run some sort of workout group on thursday mornings. we were planning on doing yoga, but we don't have enough mats donated yet, so today i brought in the 50 minute cardio dvd by jillian michaels to do with the boys.

none of them wanted to do it. they thought it would be dumb and too easy. so i told them they must be afraid that they can't keep up with me. well, that got some of them out of their seats and moving. a coworker also offered some dunkin donuts coffee for whoever made it to the end, so that helped too. i started with 5 boys doing the workout with me and 4 others watching from the couch, the lazy bums!

the workout consists of seven different circuits and not one kid did all of them with me. they were dropping like flies! it was hilarious. there were lots of water breaks happening and some would come back 10 minutes later to either workout some more or join the lazy bums on the couches. 2 of the kids ended up pulling themselves together and joined me again for the last couple circuits.

anyways... it was awesome. and i am in way better shape then a whole bunch of teenage boys. okay, only 5 teenage boys, but it was fun... and a killer workout.
