Once again, another very long read even while trying to not say every detail I always get carried away.

This time I actually liked it!

Thought it was as hard as before, but now they didn't abuse or used punishing exercises as much.

This time I was named Team Leader because when they told us to "Fall in" I was the first to stand in front of the instructor. XD;

First thing I told the instructors I'd do push ups and run and whatever but no jumping jacks because I wrecked my knees last time and they're still hurt. Now, I finally went to a doc that told me what happened. Turns out I'm flat footed(couldn't tell because I do have a bit of a curve) so that gives me bad balance and can't do running/jogging and when I did too many squats I put too much pressure on my knees from that unbalance and then, days later with the way too many jumping jacks devastated them.
Yesterday was allowed to do another kind of exercise. while the others did the jumping jacks. Then we did a decent amount of push ups and more warming up stuff.

First exercise:
Take a victim in a "longboard"(imagine a surfboard with holes around the edges for holding), carry him/her(whoever was slimmest for less weight), walk over pieces of wood again and around cones then back. But this time it wasn't at the parking lot but at a new one they're building at the institute and it's sloped so we were climbing a bit. Again they would tell you things to bother you and annoy you. When it was my turn I got all the way through but on the way back I was out of breath and started hyperventilating hardcore, it felt very much near a panic attack because I got tearful too, or maybe I got scared. The instructor then had to hold the longboard for me as I also started shaking and told me to sit, then they walked me to the shadows, laid me on my back and raised my legs until my breathing normalized and I could sit up to drink water.
I felt so frustrated. DX It wasn't the weight, I could handle it fine, better than last time actually thanks to the routines (upper body to rest hurt knees)I've followed paying up. I've been doing 100+ abs every day and some resistance band stuff for the arms, chest and body and some push ups when Prof. told us about the new training day. It must have been because the other instructor was rushing us and I sped up a lot and got tired too fast.

Anyway, after everyone else was done with that exercise one of the instructors(the hardcore one) walked us away a bit and told us to hold our arms in front of us for a while and to not drop them. The first few seconds seemed simple enough but after a while the shoulder muscle started to burn real bad. Every time the instructor turned away we'd do something to ease the pain, I kept scolding the guy next to me because he kept them half folded and was worried he'll punish us. When the instructor noticed he said "Look, the little girly's tired, ok let's change, now move them up and down" That hurt more! I started saying things loud and growling to "let out the pain" and swaing back and forth on my feet but I did NOT drop my arms~ Yay. Things like "This feels AWESOME!" "BUUUUURNS!" "WHOOO!" Instructor smiled and said "That's it!" XD
Then we did do the push ups, I had brought gloves this time for and I did them fine too. Only my knees on the ground were killing me. Little rocks here and there.

Second Exercise:
Pick up the victim from the ground, someone by the back(wrapping arms around torso and holding the person's crossed arms on chest to pull up in a secure grip) and someone holding the legs up, cross cones, place on a blanket, carry to longboard with safety belts and bring him back. The first guys that tried it had left their water bottles behind after the instructor said not to. When he asked who was the owner of one they said it was from the guy playing the victim at the moment and he took it and walked over to them on their way back. He said "Your friends told me this was yours and you were thirsty" and then proceeded to empty then nearly full bottle all over the poor guy. I couldn't help but whisper to someone next to me "Son of a b***!" and the others were gaping and only halfheartedly laughing... that was a bit much. Guy was really upset. Instructor said "They were the ones who said it was yours" and the guy said "But it was you who poured over me!" He was boiling mad but said nothing else. He's also a new kid, so he just got initiated with that...
The next group had a whining girl saying she didn't want to get wet and again, on their way back, this time out Prof. walked to them and said "And suddenly it starts raining!" and threw water all over them. At least that one had more humor to it.

When it was my turn, I said I should take the legs because I was still shaky from earlier and the instructor said "A paramedic can't make up limitations" and I got my pride back and gave it my all. The first time I had done that at class I failed to pick up the shortest, slimmest girl. This time it was a male, slim but heavier than that girl by quite a lot. When I picked him up I didn't even feel the strain I did before! So that alone motivated me more. We crossed the cones did the blanket, then grab the blanket by the edges and pull him up to another longboard. The girl helping me was also a girl that failed picking someone up but at least she did a good job with the blanket. At the long board I had trouble getting the safety belts because they were under it and I took a while there(But it was a good rest XD; ) That's where the Prof. came over again telling us we took so long a rain cloud came by and started pouring again. It was actually refreshing from the hot sun. XD
I did finish that exercise and Prof. congratulated me on the good job. An instructor also praised what I did when I needed to readjust my hands on the board. I'd place it on top of my thigh to do it. That sort of came by instinct, I didn't want to put it on the floor and have to pick it up again.

Last exercise: The one I think was just AWESOME but also the hardest.
A girl got tied to a longboard very securely (to test just how,[or to bug her probably as I don't think they'd do it if they weren't sure], they turned her upside down and shook her. Her face was priceless as well as ours I bet) We had to stay in line, and pass her along with our hands, when the first people left go they had to move to the end of the line to grab her again and so on. I compared it to a millipede's way of walking or working ants. We went all the way 'till the inside of the building (air conditioner break), and there we changed our way of going to the end of the line by having to get on our knees and crawl under the board to get to the other side as if the walls were to close to us to go behind the others. THAT'S where I wrecked my knees. Mostly the skin. I now have a large bruise on each and won't be able to kneel over for a while. We reached some stairs, went down (just 5-6 steps) then doubled back and now we switched to sitting on the floor and passing the board over our heads and backwards. Got outside again and went up the slope.
I really loved that exercise!

Then, when all was over we went back to the classroom for a final critique, the instructor to remind us and reassure the new guys their words and action are never personal, told us we did better than the group from another town's institute and then we got pizza!

And that's that. :]

I am now all sore and achy from all that but at least I got the full weekend to recover.
