Friday May 30th at Boot Camp

Tim Hill's classes ran their way through sand and grass on this obstable course at the Rudgear 9am class.

All our locations have different terrain. If you always go to the same location, try a new one every once and a while. It's good to work-out at a different time of day, in a new area, and with a different instructor. You will have fun and challenge your body in new ways.

Danville's 5:30am class got their first taste of the work-out style of their new instructor Bernadette Child. She really brought out the team spirit in everyone. What did you guy's think?

Have a great weekend everyone!

There is no class on Memorial Day - so here is your work-out for today to do on your own.

1. 5-10 minute warm-up run
2. Light Stretching
3. Strength Warm Up such as Squat, Curl, Press

5 rounds of the following four exercises for time (take breaks as needed - but don't move on from one exercise to the next until you have completed the 20 reps - and remember you are timing yourself, so go as fast as you can (while maintaining good form):
20 Push-Ups







20 Walking Lunges with a Press









20 Chair Dips, Reverse Flys or Pull-Ups (jumping pull-ups)Pick one and do the same one in each round.










20 Squats with weights












Post your times here on the blog. Include what weight you used and Push-Up Method.

Finish with a 5-10 minute light run and stretching.

Tim's time for the five rounds was 22:10. He used 25 pounds to 20 to 15 lb dumbells for the walking lunges, He did assisted dips and he used 25 pound dumbells for the squats. Here is what he looked like:












I forgot to check my time. I ran for the camera to get Tim finishing his last round. We think I was about 22 minutes. I used 5 pound dumbells (it was that or 15 pounds, the gym didn't have anything inbetween) for the walking lunges and the squats and did jumping pull-ups.


See you in class on Tuesday!

Starting out the week with a bang.

I don't know how Lafayette handled it - but there was a little moaning and groaning in the Rudgear Park Class this morning as everyone raced between Over Head-Squats, Jump Ups/Step Ups, Sumo High Pulls, and a 400m (approx) run (with steps), trying to see how many circuits they could complete in 20 minutes. Everyone did terrific and really gave their all. You guys inspire us instructors. You really put in a good effort and accomplish so much! How are you all liking the new format in the Tim H's classes? If you are in Moraga or the AM Heather Farms Class, don't worry, these work outs will be coming your way soon.

It's a Hot Day at Boot Camp!

Welcome to our new boot camp blogger. Check daily for updates, boot camp tidbits, comments from your instructors and fellow boot campers.

The forecast is for 101 F today. WOW! It's really windy over here at Rudgear Park to. Strange weather we have these days.

The 9am Rudgear class toughed out the heat and worked on their running technique today. Check out this boot camper with a pretty darn good "POSE" in her run.
