W.O.D. January 20th, 2009

Hope everyone is enjoying the wonderful winter weather that we are experiencing at the moment. I am loving the non -30 degree temperatures, not sure about anyone else...
I am also loving the turn outs that we are getting for our Bootcamp classes in both locations.
People are catching on to the fact that our Bootcamp class is where it's at for achieving the results that everyone is looking for. And by talking to our regulars, it seems that Ultimate Fitness Bootcamp classes are even addicting. How can the grueling 45 minutes of Bootcamp be addicting you ask? Well, the answer comes from endorphins. Endorphins are powerful hormone-like substances produced in the brain that function as the body’s own natural painkillers. During exercise, there is a release of endorphins in the body that are capable of producing feelings of euphoria and a general state of well being. The feelings produced can be so powerful that they can actually mask pain. Anyone who has worked their ass off in Bootcamp class has experienced this feeling, whether they know it or not. Obviously the endorphins wear off by the next day and the muscle soreness kicks in...this lets you know that you did something right!
So, lets get on with our W.O.D. you say!

Below is a motivational video that I want you to send to your family, friends, or anyone who has an excuse why they can't work out at the gym. There shouldn't be an excuse, unless you want one. Bottom line.

W.O.D. Jan 5th, 2009

Happy New Year everyone!
I am going to start with the write up on the 2009 Bootcamp games!
We had an alright turn-out with 7, which was a little less than we were hoping for, but everyone that came out gave it their all, and boy, did we have a close race!
Our first W.O.D was "Tabata Somethin' Else" which definitely separates the men from the boys, or should I say women from the men???
We used the following exercises:

Squats
Push Press
Stage Jumps
Leg Raises
Jump ropes
Every rep was a point. With 20 seconds of work, and 10 seconds of rest for a total of 8 rounds.

Next after a short break and taste testing of one of our best selling protein supplements Mango Splash, we continued on the track to greatness with "To the End".
This W.O.D. was scored by best time.
25 Burpees
50 Push ups
75 Squats
100 Sit ups
75 Squats
50 Push ups
25 Burpees
What an ass-kicker!!
Great effort given by everyone who participated. Unfortunately our computer won't let me post pictures, but stay tuned and we will have some great action shots posted up soon enough.
Overall it was an awesome day, and looking forward to starting the new block.
The bar is set....
