Bootcamp Class of the Week

This week the honor goes to the 530AM Bootcamp on Mondays and Wednesdays. Despite the cold weather and the early hour, they all come in with smiles on their face despite the knowledge of what is to come. Heck, they've even been patient when my alarm is set for 440pm rather than am or when I forget my keys:)

Here's a video of the 530am class in action with todays Workout of the Day (WOD) Roll the Dice










Roll the Dice

Start each round with 50 High Knees

1's- Push Press x 15
2's- Rows x 15
3's- Sit up Press x 15
