WEEK 3 is ALMOST COMPLETE

Since this is week 3 (out of 4) of camp, the exercises (and instructors) have gotten much more challenging. Don't get me wrong, camp has always been a challenge since the beginning but Stacy and I are demanding much more from you ladies.

We specifically design the classes so that ALL are challenged. It doesn't matter whether you are a regular fitness buff or someone new to exercise, everyone is pushed to their potential.

Week one is set up so that you are building a foundation that will take you through to week 4. You are building a base strength in the legs, arms and core that will allow you to perform the more difficult and complex exercises in week 3 and 4. There is much more to exercise then "working up a good sweat." Stacy and I have created a progression in each class so that by the end of camp you are able to do things you never would have thought your body could do.

If you are reading this blog and you have never experienced a boot camp class before, don't be scared. Women of all shapes and sizes are avid Adventure Boot Campers. Unlike most boot camp classes in gyms, there are no men allowed. We keep it simple so that everyone can work in a noncompetitive environment and just have fun. Isn't that what exercise is supposed to be anyway?

So this leads me to next Saturday, August 4th (and then every other weekend). Come down to Central Park at 9am and take part in our FREE SATURDAY BOOT CAMP class. You wont be alone. Last week we had 23 women and the weekend before that 35 of NYC's most adventurous ladies showed up. Check out http://www.nycadventurebootcamp.com/ for all of the details. See you there!

35 WOMEN ATTEND FREE SATURDAY BOOT CAMP!

AN ALL TIME RECORD!

This past Saturday on June 30th we conducted our regular Bi Monthly free boot camp class in Central Park. We do this as a little kick back to the community b/c we are sick and tired of all of the boring gym routines out there!

We are the "ultimate out of gym experience!" Some women come b/c they have seen our ad in the newspaper. Some women are dragged by their friends that have become regulars. However the ladies get here, they are here to stay.

Joyce (a regular Saturday participant) commented to me last weekend that she loves working out outside so much that she has quit her gym membership all together! Nice Joyce. Although this might not be the answer for everyone, many women who join our camps have a hard time dragging themselves back into the dark and smelly 4 walls of the gym.

If you haven't already, get down to 97th and 5th on Saturdays at 9am in the summer. You wont be let down. Check out the exact dates and times at http://www.nycadventurebootcamp.com/. You can do it!

WATERFALLS IN CENTRAL PARK???

A MUST SEE WHILE HIKING in the PARK

As we all know, Wednesday is "Hike Day" in Adventure Boot Camp. Listen, we don't call it "Adventure" Boot Camp for nothing right?!

Out of 19 women in the Camp, only 8 showed up today. I have a feeling it is b/c last weeks hike was a serious one and it left most campers (including myself) sore! Or perhaps b/c it felt like 100 degrees out. Whatever.

The waterfall that we camp upon was a wonderful sight to behold in the middle of the park. It can be found in the north most section of the park equivalent to about 105th street. The women reluctantly stopped and let me take the picture above(keep in mind it is only about 5:45 am at this point). I think it was worth it!
