Day 13

Boot Camp is humming. We have big crowds daily and we are moving fast, with a purpose. The Nuts and bolts are functioning at a high level and grinding out impressive numbers. The Packs are averaging about 650 repetitions of various basic training exercise and 3.5 miles of running in 50 minutes. Today was special as at least 30 folks warmed up two laps around the track before the workout. A half mile a day adds up to 2.5 miles a week. That is 15 miles a 6 week session. Wow, run a whole mile before we start and those numbers double.

Take it from the skinny runner dorks, NOTHING burns fat better than putting one foot in front of the other. Also, your fastest runners are typically skinny and, they are not mutually exclusive. Walking and jogging are healthy. Fast running burns fat.

Day 11

Counting days has always been an important part of Peachtree Road Boot Camp. Daily attendance is the most important part of the formula. We give our participants 6 workouts a day 5 days a week. We are always working out.

None of our workouts are over the top, killer hard. We have hard workouts, but not the kind where half a dozen people puke. We have had those workouts in the past. Our experience has demonstrated that a blistering hard ball buster workout knocks half the pack out for the rest of the week. It ain't worth it. We want folks leaving the workout feeling refreshed and ready to return the next day.

Example: A 900 calorie burn workout 3 days a week = 2,700 calories burnt. A 600 calorie burn workout 5 days a week = 3,000 calories burnt. Plus, a full day off allows the body to go into hibernation. Daily exercise includes the extra "smolder" (you know how you are still sweating an hour after the workout) that is missed with a days rest.

New folks in Boot Camp may read this and think we are crazy. We are! But, if you stick around long enough, your body will adapt to the daily stress and peak fitness will appear. You will be apart of a crazy club that looks and feels great.

Day 9

Day 8 we did a Track Workout at Triple Nickel. On day 9 we ambled up Peachtree and back. We had a much smaller crowd today. And, of the folks working out today, many were complaining of sore calves and dead legs. This is what happens after a track workout. Speed Kills. Developing Speed Kills. Speed hangovers kill. Between the Quick & the Dead, even the quick feel dead after a speed workout.

Show up for Friday Fun Day!!!
