Metabolic Workout #3

WHHHOOOOHOOOOOO! Made it through another Metabolic workout today. This time we did two sets of the 12 exercises. 1 minute for each exercise first and then 20 seconds for the second round. I pushed it hard and really felt winded at the end. We added some weight, abs and some sprints and called it a day. Another cool morning, but we warmed it up pretty quick.

I had a tear in my eye when I read the note below from my Boot Camp instructor, last night:

Hey Campers,

What a great morning. The temperature was a little cool but sure felt good once you got moving. "Race Day" was a lot of fun and you guys really worked you butts off. I wanted to let you know of a few things coming up so you can go ahead and get prepared.

"Bring a Friend Day" is next Wednesday, October 7th. This is a day that you can bring any friend. It is designed to let those ladies who are interested but can't seem to make the commitment have a taste of how much fun it is and how good it makes you feel. It is also a great time for you to bring your husbands, children (if old enough to participate), coworkers or anyone important in your life to get them excited about a healthy lifestyle. Also, this helps your loved ones understand what you do each morning and they usually become much more encouraging. This is the only time a man is invited to camp.

"Metabolic Workout Day"
I have attached a link to a You Tube video I did with the Greensboro Boot Camp instructor showing you how hard you should be pushing yourself while doing the Metabolic Workouts.
"Metabolic Workout video"
As you can see, he is pushing himself as far has he can go. This workout is meant to push ALL the oxygen out of you body and make your body take in more while building endurance. Pay attention to how you feel each time we do this. It's a great indicator of your progress.

"Timed Mile and Push-up Day"
Next Friday is our second timed mile and push up test. If you weren't here for the first one, don't worry about it. It is still a great workout and if you continue to the next camp, you have a head start building up to your time.

Recognition Corner
Everyone is truly doing a great job. There isn't one of you in camp this time who isn't pushing yourself hard. It is so great for me to train people when they really care. I would like to recognize a few though that are just pushing themselves over the limits with sheer determination in their eyes to make a difference.

Lynne Hackaday(5:30), Susan Scott(7:00) and Tori Triplett(5:30). Way to go guys!! I see these three ladies fight so hard each time they are at camp. They are an example for everyone.

Half way through camp
Listen up ladies, we are already in our 3rd week of camp. It's time to really put the pedal to the medal and step things up a notch. You should be really watching your diet as well. If you don't know about it already, please go to www.myfitnesspal.com to keep track of your daily food intake. It is free and friendly and will really open you eyes to what you consume in a day. It will also show you if you aren't getting enough calories. That is the biggest reason that people don't loose weight once they have entered into an exercise class. They go overboard on their dieting and don't get enough calories. Your body will hold what is has until you give it something else. So just make sure that you are giving it enough but you're giving it the right nutrition. I am always here for questions or advice.

O.K. enough of me for today. Get lots of rest and I will see you in the morning.
