Boot Campers

I am excited to start the outdoor boot camp Monday, April 5th! There are some hard-core people signed up so it should be a great group to work with.

If you have signed up I would advise you to do some of the basic exercises this week & next week to prepare.  Don't go overboard, just push enough to break a sweat and get the motions and form down.  You could do something like this:
2 days a week, 2-3 sets
  • 10-15 pushups
  • 10 x each leg stationary or walking lunges
  • 30-60 second plank
  • 15 x squats
  • If you have weights do light (5lb dumbbells) shoulder raises-out to sides and front, start w/weights at sides and raise up to shoulder level
  • 20-30 second side plank
  • 30 second reverse plank
And don't forget to bring a water bottle, an old bath towel (for padding and assistance w/pullups etc.), and lifting gloves.  Oh yea, bring a positive attitude and a willingness to push yourself!
