Hello Everyone... I Know I have fallen off the blogging wagon... Work gets in the way of all my fun...hehe But, in these times it is great to have a job...
After reading about all the fun that I had this morning, I know you will want to sign up too..
You can do this at http://www.extremefittraining.com/
Alright, for today's boot camp it is all about partners and competition. Everyone partners up and Rachel's hands us the list of torture events, i mean extremely detailed and invigorating training exercises.
With this being a competition it is all about speed.... Well and endurance... Cause it will kick your butt.... So you have your partner and you have you list of torture... Now it is up to you about how to divide these up.. Mostly we just split everything in half....
And Away we GO!!!!!!
50 High Jumps -- Jump up pull your knees up...
50 Plate walks / Wheel Barrels - Wheel barrels just like in PE.. Plate walks are a paper plant under you feet as you are in the push up position and you walk with your hands just a dragging your feet
50 Take a Bows - Take a bow with your weights plus some extensions
50 Cone Jumps - Jump over a cone.. Think you figured that one out..
100ea Partner Pushups - Fun, Fun and more fun... Head to Head doing pushups while clapping hands with your partner on each one.
50 Hammer Curls - Thumb up curls.
75 Crab Crawls - Walk like a crab in PE class (Somehow, I remember that being more fun then.)
50 Triceps Kickbacks - You all have seen or done these.
100 Real Sit ups - everyone's favorite
50 Belgium Squats - Your partner is in a front plank stance, and you put one foot on there back and do a 1 leg squat.
20 Parachute runs - Wrap a power band around you and your partner holds you back while you run.
20 Parachute Runs Backwards - Go figure same as before but running backwards.
50ea Sit up position twist..(Side to Side with Elbows touching the ground)
I am sure I missed some of the work outs or got the numbers wrong...Sorry; my mind isn't working at 5:30am
So, if that wasn't enough to wear you out... We finished the session with Abs 10 of everything.... And I mean everything, 10 crunches, 10 reverse crunches, 10 low leg extensions, 10 planks left , 10 planks right, 10 front planks, 10 front step out side planks, 10 front step out side planks with a jump. Love those Ab workouts...hehe NOT....
That officially ended the session then Mrs. Rachel say... "How want to go for a 10 run?" Now who do you know that actually wants to go for a run..hehe But several of us went. Now you have to remember that Rachel's runs are nice jogs through the country side... It is a combination of Jog, SPRINT... Job Sprint..... Literally by the time I finished the work out and the run my shirt and shorts were complete soaked with sweat....

Only Boot Camp Day 3 - And the Hurling starts!!!!!!!
After reading about all the fun that I had this morning, I know you will want to sign up too..
You can do this at http://www.extremefittraining.com/
Been trying to come up with a snazzy title for this one. Something like "Friday Morning Nausea", "Beating Rachel comes with a price", "Rachel Made me hurl"... I will let you bet the Judge... Let me your thoughts....
Well Day 3 and I would love to tell you that it is getting easier... Love to tell you that the workouts are a breeze, Love to tell you that I am in such good of shape that I don't need this anymore. It would be easier to convince you that pigs can fly.
Well with the norm of the alarm clock going off at 5am and Kerri beating me to turn it off, grab my water, weights and don't forget the man's best friend wonder dog Zoey... And out the door we go....
Arrive at boot camp at 5:20 only to see Rachel's Sun shiny attitude talking about how much fun we are about to have as she is completing the setup of Sensation Stations... I call them Sensation stations because you are about to have sensations that your body has never felt before. The are not the enjoyable sensations but you know they are going to pay off... If you don't believe me ask Rachel... She is yelling it to us the entire time.... Think we have all drank the kool-aid.
Anyway... Please forgive me that I don't recall what these exercises are called I am a computer geek not a personal trainer. LOL...
So, the key to Sensation Stations is the one piece of exercise equipment half exercise ball. If you haven't see one of the Satan balls prey you never will heheh. So, everything is based on this one station who ever is at that station has to do 100 of them..(have to come to boot camp to know what they are!!!) So, why person X is doing the Satan Ball everyone else is at their station. Keep in mind it could take a minute in half or 2 minutes and half to complete the ball. So, you are doing things like Elevated Pushups, Dead lifts, Exercise ball side bends, Triceps extension, Football feet, Sky Jacks, Calf raises etc....
Now if this wasn't enough then about half way through Rachel calls for Sprints to the stop sigh and back.... After hearing her say if we don't make back with in 60's we do it again... Well obviously we are doing it again.... .This is were i made a mistake, this time Rachel ran and having a male ego, I couldn't let a her win, specially being the only male there (Come on guys...You need to be there)... So after Rachel and I have our little sprint right back to Sensation Stations... Well except for me... I had to take a walk through the woods and talk to a man about Buicks... Well that is what we called it in college when we went to throw up. Sprinting kicked my butt and I hate to say it but being the first to throw up was not on my goal list but it happened. It is what it is...
But I think if you don’t' throw up working out once in a while you are not working out hard enough. So Turn it up and get out there and sale some Buicks...
To top off the wonderful morning we ended up by doing Ab work... You have to love abs everyone wants that 6 pack abs... Well being the over achiever that I am I went for the whole keg.... j/k...
Well for our excitement for the morning, as if the working out with Rachel isn't enough we were graced with Shelby County Finest.... Unfortunately, someone didn't like the music or the 35 people with loud speakers as they were told... (Actually there was only about 14 of us and no loud speakers) The Sherriff was extremely nice but thought we were crazy...

Boot Camp Day 2
Before I start yes I know i skipped Boot Camp day 1.... But I couldn't move enough to type it....
After reading about all the fun that I had this morning, I know you will want to sign up too..
You can do this at http://www.extremefittraining.com/
Well for the ones that don't know I joined an exercise boot camp in an effort to cut some inches from the mid section... Day one was unbelievable tough and I hurt in places I did not know existed.
Well last night i played cards till 11 and not getting in bed till around 12:15. So, needless to say 5Am came early... And yes for those of you that know me I did say 5Am....
So up at 5, grab my shorts, shirt and shoes.... Oh yeah.. Zoey came alone for the ride.... And out the door we went...
Camp started at 5:30,
Warm Up: Indian Runs with a twist... If you ever did indian runs on the soccer fields these are a little different the line doesn't run but the person on the end does a Salomon Run through all the people. Now don't think if you are not running you are getting off easy.... ha... When each person starts to run you start a new exercise... Theses could be but not limited to ... Jumping Jacks, High Knees, Kick you Booties, Some kind of jumping exercise that I can't remember the name of.... etc... And that is just the warm up.... and your heart is already pounding through your chest.... BUT THE CALARIES ARE BURNING>>>>>
Now for the fun....
We choose a partner the first partner goes to the starting line of this Cone Square of Death (SOD) (Maybe not that bad). As they start there exercise which i think the first one was side frog jumps around the SOD. Now again don't think you are just hanging out if you are not SOD. You are doing Bicep Curls until you partner returns.... Thank goodness for fast partners hehe. The SOD exercise were things like, Frog Jumps Sideways, and Frog Jumps Forward, High knee Jog, Walking Lunges, Running backwards, etc.... While the others are doing Bicep Curls, Triceps Extensions, Mountain Climbers, etc...
If you haven't noticed the etc is there because I was losing oxygen to my brain and can't remember them.. I just do whatever Rachel say mindlessly.
So, after the this set of fun and calorie burning activity... Rachel notices that someone is missing from our Boot Camp... The poor person unfortunately lives close by... So what does that mean... Funny you should ask... It means Rachel leads us in a 30 sec walk, 30 sec jog and 30 sec sprint to her house.... I am so glad I live 5 miles away.. heheh
After our early morning visit with the boot camper that didn't make it... Bet they are there from now on..hehe We take a little jog to this nice big hill... I just love hills... Asked a mountain bike buddy one time while pedaling up bump who put this hill here.. His answer was GOD... Can't really argue with that one can ya... Ok back to boot camp. So, this hill is about to be conquered by all... Way to go Boot Campers... Back to our partners; First partner does a sprint to the top of the hill, while the other partner is doing Mountain Climbers and jumping lunges ( oh fun ). After those everyone takes a little run BACKWARDS up the hill... Hams and buts are burning like no other got to love it...
Once we finish that nice little jog back to the field. Once back there time for everyone's favorite is a nice set of exercises for abs... Side planks, Planks and Crunch holds while making circles and magic fingers to the sky...
The boot camp is awesome Rachel does a wonderfully job... Some of the things she thinks of can only come from a deranged exercise trainer... but it is awesome and you feel like you had a work out when finished.
LOVE IT!!!
Get out there and do something.....
