Good Morning Boot Campers!
We've successfully completed one full week of boot camp. Great job! For the recruits who missed today's session (Dan, Naomi, Binia, Kristen, and Erin), here is a brief overview of the class. Today's focus was speed, plyometrics, and partner training. After a brisk jog to the Riverfront walkway, we continued our warm up with 100 jumping jacks, then up the stairs for the indian runs. At "Home Base" we did a series of 30 second activities that emphasized quick footwork combined with multi-directional movements to build speed and agility. The jump rope between activities allowed us to maintain an elevated heart and prepare for a smooth transition between exercises. Next, we did partner suicides at the lamp posts, one person holds plank, the other ran sprints. This series helps to develop core strength (planks) and speed while burning fat and calories from interval training. The partner band work targeted the lower body and upper back, hips/glutes, and chest while keeping the exercise aerobic. Ok, now for the partner leg press, maybe not your personal favorite, but this exercise is very effective. Everyone finished strong with the sprint/push up series and the abs/hamstrings super set.
I really appreciate the encouragement you are showing for your fellow recruits. As stated in the last email, this type of consistent, positive support will ensure everyone has an enjoyable boot camp experience. Thank you.
Have a great weekend and I will see you Tuesday morning,
Bryan
