"You can do anything for 45 minutes." That is what my hard core boot campers always tell people who are blown away by the fact that they will workout in almost any condition.
And if the post-workout smiles are any indication, they had fun out there! Why? Because it IS fun to workout in whatever Mother Nature can throw at us!
And one of the reason's it is so much fun is because there are some SERIOUS bragging rights to be had for doing it! I mean, these guys will all go about their day today knowing that while their friends skipped the gym (or work, or whatever) due to the weather, they got out there and kicked butt! And I can pretty much guarantee you that they feel awesome, both physically and mentally, because of it! Today is going to be a great day for these guys.
Actually, there is an interesting trend I have noticed while running outdoor boot camps...the worse the weather, the more outspoken the campers are about thanking me for the workout; thanking me because they feel so good! And yep, that is absolutely as much mental as physical!
So next time the weather is less than perfect, give it a go and see what we are talking about. It doesn't have to be 45 minutes either. A 10 to 20 minute interval workout is all you need to stoke that metabolism for the next 24-48 hours.
