For hundreds of years, the Military has used platoon style basic training to physically prepare soldiers for battle. Platoon style basic training is exactly what we do every morning. Traditional Boot Camp puts around 30 recruits in a platoon and assigns a platoon leader to instruct. Usually, the recruits bond together as they see each other suffering through the daily routine.
While our workout is rarely a killer anymore, it can be grind. This last week, rain has added an obstacle to fitness. We have banded together daily, as always, and kept the paces moving. Working out in inclement weather is always better with company. While we may be a little cold and wet, at least we are together.
There are dozens of indoor fitness options available in our neighborhood. There are at least 6 yoga studios, Blast, Flywheel, Orange Theory, Cross Fit, Barre & Fast Twitch to name a few. All of these are great workouts, have great instructors and are sound fitness disciplines. None of these will be run in the rain. But, there will be little to no talking in any of these workouts. Loud music will drown out most conversation. Most folks show up, work out and leave.
It is impossible to do a workout with us without someone at least saying hello. Our workout ranges from friendly to family.
