Daily Dose: Friday, 1/29/10

Hey there fellow FitCampers!  It’s thursday evening at 6pm and I’ve gotta make this quick b/c I have a little 2 year old princess waiting for me to walk through the door any minute now.  As rushed as I am to leave the studio I didn’t want to leave you hanging and forget about your Friday morning daily dose of FitCamp.  So here is it short and sweet…

Today’s FitCamp:  TABATA (“The Mystical Japanese Warrior”) 

Ka-chow!

P.S.  If you haven’t heard about the FitCamp 4 Kids Program starting up Feb 22nd make sure to check it out.  We’ve already had a lot of interest and a few sign-ups.  Space is limited to 12 kids per class so act fast if you want a spot!  Check out the FitCamp for Kids Flyer!

P.S.S.  Lee Ann, I loved your name for the new FitCamp Mascot, Wilson.  Any more names out there?  Post yours using the comments link above.

P.S.S.S.  Ok, that’s really all I can squeeze into this post.  Going home to do puzzles and play with Mrs. Potato Head, Thomas, Percy, Henry and Cranky the Crane.

Daily Dose: Thursday, 1/28/10

Okay, back to business. Just shot a quick video for you today to give you a new kind of Daily Dose.  Once you watch please leave me a quick comment using the comment link above. 

If anyone can come up with a fun and creative name for my yellow kettlebell in the background I will give them 5 ProGrade Cravers! Yum!

After watching the video I realized that you can’t read the sign in the background.  It may be obvious at the end of the video but in case you were wondering.  It reads “Happy Birthday Rachael!  Love ya Sis!”

Daily Dose: Wednesday 1/27/10

A side note on today’s workout:  Due to the all-time low attendance for yesterday’s FRAN workout it seems that the Daily Dose has backfired.  SO, I have decided to take a new approach…

 

Today’s FitCamp:  “The Terrible 3′s”

WARM-UP:  3 Warm blankets will be used to bring your muscles up to temperature and increase blood flow throughout your entire body.

SKILL:  Today we will be practicing 3 step breathing (inhale, exhale, repeat).  Not too heavy, just relaxed, calm and controlled… breathing.

MAIN WORKOUT: 

3 Air Squats, 3 Push-ups, 3 Sit-ups, 3 Pull-ups
3 minute rest
Repeat just one time to prevent sweating

CORE SET:  Inhale, exhale, upon exhale hold abs tight for 3 seconds then relax. 

COOL-DOWN:  We will conclude today’s workout with a 55 minute rest period (nap).

Looking forward to seeing you in class! :)
