10.85&6 – WOD and Bootcamp Cardio Agility

After the resounding success of Bootcamp Agility last time out, I thought what better way to end the bootcamp session than by two of our favourite workouts. Agility was a breeze, although this time I only used 6 hoops and 5 cones each side and the run back was half backwards, half sprint.

10.65 – Bootcamp Plyo / Agility

I’m trying to keep away from calling cardio, well, cardio. It seems people have an aversion to the notion of a cardio day so today I am trying something a little different, some agility.

For the workout I used 9 hoops as an agility ladder setup and 10 cones as a side shuttle run back. The easiest way to explain is to draw it so the graphic reflects what we did. Well, it may help me to remember, its pretty much hieroglyphics to anyone else!

10.46 – Bootcamp Cardio

I know my participants hate cardio day and to be honest so do I. That’s why I try to throw in some abs and occasionally some Yoga or something to lighten the mood. Last night was a tough one though, nobody seemed in the mood and the class was tough from start to finish. However, it’s not my job to pander to the groups feelings nor even to my own whims but rather to run the program to get us all as fit as I can. So we sucked it up and made it through…

10.24/25 – Rest and Bootcamp Cardio (That’s Not Too Complicated, Is It?)

Last night was warm again, I suppose its a little redundant since summer in Toronto has seen weeks over 30 degrees in the past. It was 34 in the shade yesterday, that’s about 93 degrees for those from the 70s. It was cardio, and although we have been avoiding doing real cardio classes due to the heat and rather doing abs workouts I decided today was a return to the core cardio we love. You would be amazed at how challenging the people still find the stability ball work, it’s a little freakish actually.
