Fitness Camp September: Week 1 Day 3

"Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success."
– Thomas J. Watson



Four Minute Madness










Short Sprint and Go
St. Johnsbury
Campers paired up, then partners were split up onto two different teams. These two individuals compete to score more rounds than their partner in each circuit. Campers spend 6 minutes per circuit, then exchange results with their partner as they change circuits.
Circuit 1
Push ups x 10
Step ups x 10 each leg
Knee to Elbow x 5

Circuit 2
Dips x 15
Hill Climbers x 40
Chin to Knees x 15

Four Minute Madness
There are five stations, two exercises per station. You will spend four minutes at each station completing as many rounds as you can. Keep track of your rounds from station to station. One minute rest between stations.

The Newport Groups finished their initial evaluation workout by starting with the 1/2 mile run. We had some personal records today but they do not count for points in the Challenge. These efforts were done as the first workout of the day rather than at the end. This may cause a slight inflation of personal bests, but the goal is to achieve these times regardless of when the next test is done.
