Bootcamp Season #2 Session 7
Hi everybody!!! I hope everyone had a productive and ACTIVE weekend! I know I did. I actually did the online workout prescribed by the SOF boot camp and did pretty good. It included 10, 10M sprints which I did on the treadmill at 9 mph. Clearly I need to amp that up to 10 mph because my sprints this morning were still short. But I am ...
Bootcamp Season #2 Session 4&6
Much like the hurricane - this week is a BLUR with stiff bodies left in its wake. I did not attend the MOnday morning session even though they still held it at 5:30 am because I just did not want to risk it. I felt I could work out at home - which I did not. Tuesday I ran for 35 minutes with sprint drills and did 100 squats due to an online ...

I'm feeling good. Third day into my second session of the Sanders Optimum Fitness bootcamp and I can't complain. I still got it. At least to some extent.

He started us off with 7 laps around ...
Bootcamp Season #2 Session 2
I showed back up for day 2 of bootcamp today. It was a bit rough for me. For one I got out of bed around 5:10 am. Bootcamp starts at 5:30 am SHARP and I am 10 minutes away. I did not get a full night's sleep because every now and again I get stomach pains which wake me up in the middle of the night and make it difficult to return back to ...
