Bootcamp Elite Trial Day

We are trying something new on Thursdays.

There is a group of individuals that scoff at the original boot camp workouts, so to throw a monkey wrench into their intentions that they are getting an 'easy' day, we have developed the Boot camp Elite group.

This group must meet the following criteria:

Run 1/2 mile in under 4:15
Perform 30 push ups without stopping (quality)
Hold a plank for 90 seconds
Have achieved Tabata Level 3

Those individuals have the pleasure of training on a new level. Here was today's workout.

Sprint 5 flights of stairs
50 Jump Squats
Farmers Walk 5 flights of stairs
40 Sit ups
Sprint 5 flights of stairs
30 Push ups
Farmers Walk 5 flights of stairs
20 Thrusters per arm
Sprint 5 flights of stairs
10 Snatches per arm
Farmers walk 5 flights of stairs

Then, and only then did we run the 1/2 mile.

And after all that, we had a record time. Congratulations Julie to setting the camp record in the 1/2 mile beating your time by one second!

Heh heh - well, SOME people were saying how much they liked baseball, dice and cards because it is "easier". So, we thought an advanced class would squelch that.....
