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!
