Here it is! The start of the Bootcamp program, the beginning of May, the segue to summer. However you look at it, it is a chance to put your current fitness abilities to the test, record them, and get to work achieving bigger and better things.

For this week's Bootcamp Workout of the Week, take the time to complete some standard fitness assessments on yourself.  Date it as the beginning of May (or whatever other mark may mean something to you and your goals) and then, set up a plan to move ahead and see an improvement in each and every one of those numbers!

To do:

Timed 1/2 Mile Run: ____________

1 Minute Push Ups: ____________

1 Minute Sit Ups: ____________

Plank Hold: ____________

Wall Sit Hold: ____________

Pull Ups/Timed Chin Hold Above Bar: ____________

 

Surprised by your results?  What was the most challenging aspect of the assessment?  Looking forward to revisiting these numbers in a month or two to see your improvement? Time to increase your cardiovascular and muscular strength- starting now!!

Meet the LVAC Bootcamp Program!



Jeremy and Ayla will be leading bootcamp at LVAC this season, with Ayla on Monday & Wednesday mornings at 6:30am, and Jeremy on Saturdays at 8am.  Unless noted otherwise, we will meet for bootcamp in the LVAC lobby. 

Not sure what Bootcamp has in store for you? Here are some points to keep in mind for your most successful workout!
  • Many practices will be held outside, so don't forget to dress for the weather (including water on extra hot days)! 
  • Some of our destinations will be a one-third to one mile jog away, so comfortable running shoes are a must.
  •  Bootcamp gives back what YOU put into it! Most of our workouts will be cardio drills and bodyweight exercises, so you will have the ability to intensify at the rate you wish. Let's push it! You're already here- take it the extra mile and do something big for yourself this summer!
