Just last weekend, I had the pleasure of flying to Daytona Beach, FL to participate in my first Team Bombshell Fitness Weekend Camp. For those of you that do not know, I am now a member of Team Bombshell, a group of like-minded women who are on their journeys to the competitive stage, whether on an amateur or pro level. I started with Bombshell Fitness and my coach, Shannon Dey (the founder of the team) back in June. With any new training or program, it's always good to have that one on one experience and knowledge, so this weekend couldn't have come at a better time as I began my journey back to the pro stage.
Not going to lie, before leaving for camp I was excited but also nervous and anxious. I had heard that the camp was pretty tough, consisting in a lot of intense training. I like to think that I train pretty hard when it comes to weights and plyometrics, but I heard that we were going to be doing a lot of running and well, let's just say, running isn't my strong suit! Needless to say, I kept an open mind and walked into Bombshell Headquarters ready for the ride!
Throughout the weekend, Shannon and the other coaches had us weight training, showing us the intensity in which they want us to train. So many of their particular exercises are so unique to them and I know see where the other Bombshell girls get their gorgeous physiques! We also did a lot of cardio - running throughout the town of Daytona and engaging in a challenging plyometric workout on the beach. At some points, I was certainly challenged and definitely needed the push to keep going forward. But I made it through and am proud of myself for doing so.
I met some amazing women from all over the world. I love when I get to meet other people with similar interests and lifestyles - it's very comforting because let's face it, sometimes I feel that I lead a pretty boring life! LOL But these women offered motivation, support and insight as to how they keep pushing forward in their own journeys. I was truly touched by so many of them. I've been taking what I've learned at camp and now applying that in my own training at home. I knew that I needed to "buckle down" as both Shannon and Rob told me and that's just what I'm doing now that I'm home.
I want to thank Shannon and Rob for being so welcoming and really engaging in each and every girl there last weekend. The attention they showed to every single girl was very admirable and you could tell how strong they feel about what they are doing. A big shout out to the Bombshell coaches who also helped make the weekend a fantastic time for me - they not only pushed me, but helped motivate me and made me realize that I can certainly do this if I want it badly enough.
