2011 Beachbody Bootcamp Kickoff


Hello to you all! We've had some beautiful weather here of late, and it allowed Jami and I to get outside and get some field work in yesterday.  We had a "Field Day" (A.K.A. Sprint Day) to help us get moving and celebrate our Memorial Day.  It has kick-started our bootcamp that is going to get us physically ready for the beach.
 
Yes, it's that time of year again, that time where we get our bodies in shape so we can throw on our swimming suits.  That reminds me, I'm due for a new suit this year.  Of course, I could always go the route of the dudes from the Kings of Leon and rock some jorts on the beach.  Maybe not, although it would definitely help make some memories.  I think I only had use for one maybe 1 to 2 times last year.  That's not cool; totally making some changes in that department this year.  Will do more swimming, such great exercise, and it's fun and refreshing.  Beach trips are great deadlines for reaching certain goals for your fitness, getting where you want with your physical appearance, and over-all well-being.  It can be the motivating factor to get you your mind focused and body moving.

Alright, so this is the Sprint Routine for the next two months; this will be done at least one time a week for the next 8 to 9 weeks! You are welcome to follow along at home or you can join us at random fields across town.
  • Start with 5 minutes of Dynamic Warmup (examples:  knee taps, jumping jacks, grape stomps, waiter bows, breathing squats, etc.)
  • Pre-Sprint Workout
    • 15 Bodyweight Squats
    • 24 Bodyweight Lunges, Alternating Legs
    • 20 Jump Lunges, Alternating Legs
    • 12 Jump Squats
    • Plank for up to 2 Minutes
  •  Rest for 3 Minutes
  • Jog the field 2 times
  • Sprint 5 times on a field 100 to 120 yards. The idea is to go "ALL OUT", sprinting for 15 to 20 seconds non-stop. 
  • Walk back to the start, allowing your breath to return to normal and repeat for the required number of reps
Each couple of weeks we will increase the number of sprint repetitions, eventually getting up to 10 sprints.
No need to adjust your computer screen, that's right, we will eventually get to 10!
This will definitely tighten up the body and burn some fat.
We will be doing resistance weight training workouts also on the other days during the week.  We will post these at a later time.
