We LOVE Burpees!

HEY BOOTCAMP BABIES~
"obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated"

BURPEE CHALLENGE PART 2~
I am psyched!!! it's the first Thursday in June, that means...100 Burpee Challenge today!
Warm up – you know what that means!!! 10 Minute Burpee Challenge!! As many burpees as you can do in 10 minutes! Goal is 100! Can you do it??? If you do meet the challenge, try to see how many you can do past 100. This is the 5th month we have done this and it has completely worn me out each time! I finally met my goal of 130....well it was 129, but I am so happy! 
Remember, FULL pushup...stay powerful....have a strategy...full overhead extension. 



What I have learned about this workout is that you have to have a strategy, I try to do 11 or 12 per minute, using the time left in the minute to recover. Then as soon as that minute is up, I do 11 or 12 more...if I can keep this up, I will have done way more than 100, right now, my goal is to get above 120. Remember, each of you is doing this at your own fitness level and so, set a goal before we start this and do your best to stick to it! I love how my whole upper body is screaming when this is over! The entire burpee movement has to be dynamic and very fluid without stopping along the way. However, if this is your first time learning the exercise, practice it slowly first a few times until you get the hang of it. Then speed it up.




WOD - --- AMRAP in 30 Minutes....
run to Caesar's and back
50 Box Jumps
50 Kettlebell Swings on the front porch

Bring it!

The biggest lie in choosing is, "I can't." That is simply not true. We can do anything we want If we don't do something, it is because we have committed our time, energy and resources somewhere else.

Are you scared of your workout?

“If your workout doesn’t scare you, it’s not hard enough, if it scares you into staying home, you’re not hard enough.”

Is your workout hard enough? How do you know it's hard enough? Do you go through the motions, completing each rep perfectly and with precision? Is that what makes it hard enough? Did you do the required 45 minutes on the dreadmill? (or 2 hours if you are someone I know) Is that what makes it hard enough?

The whole reason you’re in the gym is to overload the system you’re training—whether it’s your heart and lungs or your muscles.  No improvement, no significant benefit is going to take place without overload.  If what you are doing has stopped being challenging and has become routine, it's time to change it up, get some intensity and get busy!

Is your workout social hour? If you spend more time talking than working, then it's time to pull down your baseball hat, put in your earbuds and focus on you! Of course we like some of the social time at the gym, but, don't forget that you also want to get some physical benefits too! I know some people who get downright irritated when their workouts are interrupted...you don't have to be rude, but, you owe it to yourself to get your money's worth while you are in there!


How long has it been since you changed your weights, number of reps or your workout plan? Do you always squat with 2 plates? Do you always pick up the same dumbell to do swings? Why? What are you afraid of? Get in there and try harder! Routine is the enemy!

Who are you working out with? Your workout partners should not be those that are willing to let you slide on that last rep, or tell you its ok to do burpees the easy way. Or that box jumps are hard so it's ok to do step ups instead! Of course it's all hard the right way, that's why it works! Find people to work out with that support your fitness goals, that are motivated like you are to create change and be healthy. Sometimes it is hard to always be the cheerleader, so, find someone who can cheer  you on as well, even on the burpee challenge, sprint forever, or plio push up days!

Get Fit Stay Fit Be Happy!
 Today's Workout may change depending on the weather, so, if it rains, I have included some back up.  We will not do all of this, but any of this is a possibility depending on weather.  So bring your water bottle, towel and POSITIVE ATTITUDE!
