Boot Camp is an exercise version of a Mardi Gras party. We parade all over town and fall into peoples yards. Of course, we move a little quicker and when we are laid out in our neighbors yard, it is for exercise and not drunkenness.
Often, shirts come off! Unfortunately, it is always over heated dudes bearing their chest.
Speaking of FAT Tuesday, The Competitive Runner's Handbook sourcing the National Institute of Health has published a body weight index. Accordingly, a "normal" 72 inch runner weighs 140-177 lbs. An "overweight" runner is between 184 and 213. Over 213 is "obese."
Our experience suggest that the ideal race weight for a 72 inch runner is 149 pounds. The ideal race weight for a 5'4" runner is 122.
While Boot Camp is fun, fast and fit, it takes more than a daily exercise routine to achieve ideal race weight. It also takes nutritional discipline.
