With a little inspiration from the Christmas carol “The 12 Days of Christmas” here is the boot camp workout we did to help get into the Christmas spirit! We sang each verse in between exercises.    

Warm up: 5-10 minutes

Workout Instructions:
This workout has 12 rounds, just like the song.  Do the first exercise on the first round.  Do the second, then first exercise on the second round.  Each round, you add another exercise.

The Night Nurses on working out!

The Night Nurses work the graveyard shift and come to boot camp after work. Just look at their enthusiasm after working all night. I can’t wait until next boot camp to take it to the next level with them.

Brandy’s Plan to Return

Brandy’s reciting one of the slogans on our shirts. She does plan to return too!

For the bootcampers who decided to miss Monday’s (5:30am & 7am)workout.  You really missed out.  It was a good one.  It took place on the tennis court and we did a variety of drills.

• Jumping Jacks-1 minute
• Plie Squats with a calf raise-1 minute
• Reverse Lunges with a side kick-30 seconds each side
• Skaters-1 minute
• Sit stands-1 minute
• Plank-2×30 seconds
• Side Planks-30 seconds each side

Court Drills- back & forth for each exercise

• Bear crawl with a Pushup (this was a killer full body workout-just ask the girls who were there)
• High knees
• Walking lunges
• Skipping
•  Then everyone had a turn at picking an exercise to do as a court drill

This wasn’t the exact order as we went back & forth from court drills to 1 minute drills.  It was great!  My body could feel those bear crawl pushups all day Monday(7am class).

See you on Wednesday

Cindy Testimonial

Check out Cindy’s Testimonial about Glendale/LA Adventure Boot Camp for Women. She liked it so much she signed up again this month.

Korie Testimonial

One of my bootcampers, Korie, lost 5″ in just 10 sessions. She started exercising at boot camp and didn’t really change her eating habits. Just by adding a fitness routine 2-3 times a week. Way to go Korie!

Our next boot camp program starts this Monday.  Get ready  to exercise bootcampers!  We’ll be tracking your food intake, so keep your journals up to date.
