I'm considering trying one of those body boot camp things that runs for 4 to 8 weeks.
There's 2 in the neighbourhood - one across the street, and one at the other park that's nearby. The one across the street is mornings or nights, the other one is nights only ... I don't know if I actually want to commit to it though. If I am spending the money, and then *have* to show up, I'm sure I will, it's just ... well, I don't know how I'll be at a boot camp.
That's way more hard core than doing zumba for an hour, or biking for a few hours.
At this point though, I don't think dance, swimming or biking is enough. I need to loose 3 inches from my chest so I can fit into an old dress for Ian's wedding. I would much rather spend the money on my health and fitness than to spend the money on a new (and friggin expensive) dress. I'm looking at $200 for that, which is why I'm considering this as an alternative (hell, it's cheaper to get fit than to buy a new dress!). I need another jump start - what I'm doing isn't enough anymore. I'm staying active, but I need something more. Something to kickstart losing inches, and to do that properly, I need to learn things that I can do to vary up the routine but still see results. I'm not seeing results right now. I'm maintaining - I've been maintaining for the last 6 months, but I haven't been losing.
On the other hand, committng to something, especially at 6 AM or 8 PM is a little questionable for me. Yeah, sure, I said I liked being up early (famous last words?), but that doesn't mean I want to be up and having my butt kicked at 6 AM... Plus I'd then have 30 minutes or so after I get home to shower, get ready for work and eat. And that isn't much time. I'll continue to think about it, but I don't know. I guess the one thing that's great is that it's so close to me that I can't complain about distance or anything else, since it's right here - there's no excuses, which is what occurs with going swimming or to the gym. Sometimes I find being accountable to someone else is helpful. But, I just don't know if I can commit to this. Hell, I can't even commit to going to dance class on the days I intend to, and vary the classes every week!
