Here is some footage of last week’s classes. We are having a blast at Gasworks. By having a blast, I mean people are sweating like crazy and working their fannies off, literally! It’s been really inspiring to see all these folks working so hard. They are seeing the results of their hard work pay off, too. I’m getting all sorts of reports of people tightening up their belts and feeling like their clothes are too big. On top of that people are setting new physical records every week. One woman emailed me to report she did 52 push ups on her toes in one class. A few months ago, she was still hammering them out on her knees. Awesome progress. If you check out the video above you’ll even see someone pumping out some one-armed push ups! GOOD TIMES! I hope this video gets you FIRED UP and you decide you must come get in on the fun yourself!

WHAT CURRENT CAMPERS ARE SAYING:

“I am having so much fun in Boot Camp. I never thought I could workout (hard!) at 6:00 in the morning, but with an awesome workout to look forward to, getting out of bed on Boot Camp days is a pleasure. The creative sessions and keen encouragement make all the difference. I have an injury that she’s really careful about helping me work through, and I’m feeling tougher and stronger than I ever did cranking out the same old moves all the time at the gym!” Loryn K.

“I’m down 8 lbs, and I feel like have gained a ton of muscle. I was able to donate some of some pants/jeans to Goodwill that were getting too big.”  Susan R.

“Sync Fitness Boot Camp helped me lose 10 lbs and 3 inches off my waist.  Now I can do 100 pushups on my toes!”  Ben W.

“I dropped about three pant sizes, I feel more confident with less stomach jiggle and I can run twice around Greenlake!”  Sarah H.

“I joined Sync Fitness after an ACL reconstruction and the blessings of my Surgeon. Sara programmed not only strength conditioning, but her approach and her use of plyometrics resulted in a weight drop of 14 pounds and very noticeable change in my ability to jump into all the sports I had missed for way too long. A great experience.” Armando Z.

“Sara is a workout Goddess. I love her classes. Her workouts are never boring but are seamless moving from one exercise to the next keeping you challenged but having fun all the same. Thanks to Sara, I am now able to do real push ups on my toes despite an old broken elbow. On top of that my lower back pain has completely disappeared. I always look forward to my next class!” Lara S.

“I’m stronger (up to 25 full push ups!), and it has given me confidence in all aspects of my life.”  Treena C.

“Since I started working out with Sync Fitness I have more energy, am stronger and actually look forward to working out at 6am! I am amazed at the progress I have made in a few months of Boot Camp. I have lost weight, increased my endurance and was able to decrease my cholesterol medication!” Lisa H.

“My butt looks better in jeans!”  Nicole A.

“Sara helped me to achieve a goal I’d never thought I’d be able to. With Sara’s support and training schedule I was able to complete my first half marathon!” Heather H.

“Sara is not one of those scary trainers who you dread working out with. She makes working out fun and learning new techniques easy.” Sarah W.

“I have been training with Sync Fitness since March of 2009. Starting out with one strength training class a week, Sara’s encouragement helped me gain confidence in my athletic ability to step it up to her twice weekly Boot Camp in September of 2009. After I started the twice weekly Boot Camp I have noticed a significant change in my body, my clothes fit better, my energy level has improved by leaps and bounds and my sense of well being has increased tremendously. Probably most significant would be the positive comments others have made about my overall appearance and attitude! Thank you!” Erika P.

PART II:

This is posted in two parts because YouTube won’t allow posts more than 10 minutes. Part I and Part II are intended to be done back to back without rest.

I am posting this workout for two reasons:

1. My clients want a good workout they can perform at home with no equipment while I’m on vacation next week.

2.  I want a travel workout I can do without equipment while I am vacationing.

So, here you go!  This workout is similar to what many of my clients experience at Sync Fitness Boot Camp in Wallingford.  It’s some serious cardio and some great strength training as well.  This workout runs through 13 exercises without rest.  I recommend you PERFORM THREE ROUNDS of this workout, TIMING EACH ROUND.  Try to beat yourself with each round – you can do it!!  Try to limit your rest and REST ONLY BETWEEN ROUNDS, not between exercises.  Are you ready?!  Here’s the workout:

WARMUP:  Warm up of your choice.  Should last 3-5 minutes and be light to medium in intensity.  Some ideas are a light jog in your neighborhood, run stairs in your house, jump rope, jumping jacks.

WORKOUT:  Here’s the good stuff!

1. Forward / Reverse Lunges x 10 per side

2. Burpees (with or without Push Ups) x 15

3. Slow Bicycles x 20

4. 180 Jump Squats x 10

5. Inchworms with Push Ups x 10

6. Cobra x (5x:05)

7. Alternating Jump Lunges x 20

8. Staggered Push Ups x 10 per side

9. Leapfrog Squats x 10

10. Jump Squats x 10 (DO NOT REST BETWEEN LEAPFROG SQUATS AND JUMP SQUATS!)

11. Hand to Elbow Plank x 10

12. Jacknives x 15 per side

13. Airplanes x (5x:05)

COOL DOWN: You can do a cardio cool down, same as your warm up and then some stretching.  Don’t forget the stretching – it’s important!

The posted video goes through one round completely.  Use the video as much or as little as you need to.  Once you’ve got the moves down, feel free to mute my chatter and pump up your favorite tunes.  Happy sweating!
