On a scale of 1-10, where 10 is the best physical-fitness condition of my life (the time right after finishing Basic Training and AIT) and 1 is the worst — I’m probably at a 2 right now.

So I’ve signed up for a 4-week (5 days per week) fitness bootcamp. And 6:15 this evening is my first class.

I looked into hiring a personal trainer, but the cost was anywhere between $70-110 per hour. However, I’ll get the same benefits of a personal trainer in a small group setting (~15 students in the class) for under $20/hour.

I wasn’t too anxious about getting started again; I enjoy exercising, and am a pretty good athelete who just needs to get back into the groove of things.

However, last night during my “pre-evaluation” with the trainer, she told me that I’m the only male who signed up for this Co-ed group. They offer women-only and men-only courses, too. Now I’m just hoping to keep up and not embarrass myself.

UPDATE —  Two other guys signed up for the class at the last minute, so I’m not the only guy in class. Yesterday’s workout kicked. my. ass. But in a good way that makes me look forward to going back today.
