Kathy’s Resolution Boot Camp 2010

Kathy’s 2010 Resolution Boot Camp details:

Class meets from 6:00 – 7:00pm, Monday through Thursday, From January 18th to February 4th. You are expected to commit to being at class, on time, ready to workout. Please bring a water bottle.

Cost:

Cost is $100 up front for the entire three week session. If you choose to pay up front, you will also get full access to the entire facility for the rest of the month, which extends until February 28!

You may also pay $10 per session.

What You’ll Experience:

- improved cardiovascular health
- improved muscle strength, tone and definition
- improved flexibility to prevent injury and ensure continual gains.

In general, you will find yourself surrounded by a supportive group of people, including someone who is in similar shape (No matter what shape you are in now). Each day and week get progressively more difficult, to help you progress through plateaus and reach new fitness levels.

It’s difficult to describe a “typical” day, because every day is different, but here’s a simple breakdown:

For the cardiovascular portion of the classes we may do:

- an obstacle course
- rope jumping
- stair or hill climbing
- military fitness drills
- plyometrics (speed/strength training drills)
- stamina building endurance courses
- and/or a variety of other exercises that emphasize improving your overall cardiovascular health, the body’s natural fat burning mechanism

During the strength/toning/defining portions of the workouts we may:

- perform a series of free weight exercises
- use exercise bands/tubes
- do a series of isometric and isotonic strengthening/conditioning
- perform calisthenics: push-ups, pull-ups, lunges, squats
- do plyometrics
- do yoga
- do pilates
(We do abdominal exercises every class.)
