I was walking home the other day and was thinking why don’t gyms or organisations have boot camps or exercise available after I drop off kids at school. Why is it all at 6am or earlier?
While I was busy having this internal dialogue I saw a banner for just want I wanted. Boot Camp at the local park, it starts at 9.30am and fits in with everything! How amazing, and how did they know that I was after such a thing? Were they listening to me? Very odd that it was exactly what I was after just when I was thinking about it.
I am sure it is not just me that thinks that this is a good idea. Why get a paid babysitter when you don’t have to. This fits in with my current situation and I am hoping that it helps my slinky plans.
I tried it out yesterday for free to see if I liked it. It was great. I will go back next Tuesday and hopefully be incorporating more exercise into my day. My aim is to do more movement, exercise different groups of muscles and just move more!
So what did we do at Boot Camp?
- Jogging
- Stretching
- The annoying burpie, but I think at boot camp you cannot get away without burpies.
- Boxing
It was nice to be outside while exercising but that also has its downside, as they do boot camp in all weather, so if it is raining you are still in the park exercising.
This was me after my first session at boot camp. I am little hot and red in the face but after running around and doing all this exercise that happens.
If you would like to try a boot camp that will not start at the crack of dawn and allows you to drop kids off at school then consider My Boot Camp Club
There are locations in Sydney and Blue Mountains. Perfect for someone who attends both locations or just one. In the city you can pay a flat fee and can attend any of the locations. This will soon be coming to the Blue Mountains.
Outcome of my first boot camp for the year:
- I slept very well
- I am achy so must have used muscles that don’t normally get used
- I had fun
- Liked being outside while I was exercising
- Loved the fact that I could do it at a reasonable time and not the crack of dawn
