My brilliant little sister Alicia introduced me to a new fitness program that is a six days a week, six week program. The first two weeks are a bit of an introduction/warm up (cleverly called "Ramp It Up") and the next four weeks are the tougher, nitty gritty part of the program ("Burn It Up"). At first I was a bit skeptical and thought this wasn't going to be too tough. However, even the Ramp It Up sessions – which are about 50 minutes long – have been a challenge. The program works muscles I haven't worked in a really long time and requires constant movement.
After this morning's workout, I've officially made it through "Week One" of a six week program. My assistant college soccer coach Bill Palladino (aka Dino) used to cruelly call out, "One down, nine to go," after our first 120 or cone. Our grueling fitness sessions required 10 reps of these 120s or cones. So in a shout out to Dino, one down, five to go in my aerobics program. But hey, you gotta start somewhere.
