The clocks go back......

Just to update my last entry - ALL 3 SIGNED UP! The Boot Camp is slowly but surely growing - COME AND JOIN THE FUN!

The clocks went back on Sunday which means there is no better time to start an early morning exercise programme. Not only does 6.30am actually feel like 7.30 but it is also fairly light!

There is still time to go down a dress size before Christmas - sign up today and enjoy a new you. FULL OF ENERGY..... AND LOOKING GREAT!

New Starters

This week three people came for a trial session of the Gale Force Workout and two signed up on the spot!

Next week I have a further two people coming for a trial session.

I thought I'd share the following comment with you:-

"Fab news about the new starters. lets hope they all come and give it a try - once they do they'll want to join."

It comes from Cassie who has been working out with the Gale Force Workout since July.

hat about you? Come and join in the fun too!

A musical accompaniment!

Again the weather has been suprising us this week - but that's England for you!

This morning we had a beautiful, crisp, autumn sunrise and last night we enjoyed looking up at the stars whilst we stretched! Plus, rather bizarrely, we had the accompaniment of a practicing drummer - maybe he'd been banished from his house?!

Testing Results......

I am still awaiting all of the latest body measurements but below is a summary of the strength and fitness gains made by the group.

These results are a testament to everyone's hard work over the last four weeks. They show just how much it is possible to achieve when working as a group!......

The average losses/gains were as follows:-
Run (2 laps of the park!) minus 7 seconds on the run time. The biggest improvement was minus 14 seconds. The biggest gain here however, was that without exception all boot campers said the run felt easier than a month a go. This has major practical implications – wouldn't it be fab if it was easier to run for the bus or run after your toddler!
Burpees (number completed in a minute) plus 6 per minute.
Push ups (number completed in a minute) plus 8 per minute.
Plank (maximum hold) plus a massive 1 minute 15 seconds! The abdominal muscles are known as the POWER HOUSE and are hugely important in reducing many forms of back ache, neck ache and postural problems. Being able to hold the plank position for a massive 1 minute 34 seconds (the maximum achieved in this testing session) will mean great positive effects for participants both now and into the future!

Have you seen the weather!

This is the sort of Poole weather the Boot Camp was named after!

Gale Force Winds and horizontal rain! I say BRING IT ON! Get it out of the way and lets see some nicer weather next week!

Let the heavens open over the weekend - we don't care! - we can enjoy our lie-ins and evenings infront of the tele (or down the pub!) knowing we've already done our exercise for the week!

Those lovely people at the BBC do assure me it will be better next week.......
