Sheemy’s Boot Camp Challenge

Our Classified Sales Manager Adam El-Sheemy is undertaking “Boot Camp Challenge,” a grueling, thrice-weekly workout set up by two personal trainers. Every week, he’ll give us an update on how he’s doing. Here is how he fared during his third week:

Day 6 June 15

The end of week two, and I have just two words: Thank God! But the good news is that things are getting a bit easier. The running was a breeze, and the push-ups even seemed lighter. Drill Sergeant Ray emphasized cardio work this week, which was good, because I needed a good workout before Fathers Day, when I would test my strength against my 2- and 5-year olds.

Day 7 June 18

This must be what hell feels like, because Sergeant Ray turned up the heat! My new nickname is “Vomiting Adam,” and you can guess why. And I thought it was getting easier!

Day 8 June 20

The nickname lives (I threw-up again)! But this former smoker is sticking to the program. This week, it was the “Duck walk” that killed me: Sergeant Ray makes us scoot down so our butts practically scrape the floor, and then walk about 20 yards. But he made me do 30 push-ups for not making the full duck walk — and by the end of the day, I couldn’t feel my thighs. I checked, though, and they’re still there — just not working!
