Burn Baby Burn

So yesterday morning, the hubs and I were recruited for a little help. You see, every Saturday during the months of November and December, our gym (where I train and teach classes) puts on a HUGE FREE bootcamp for all the members (non-members pay a small fee). We set up 60-65 stations throughout the gym. Some are cardio, some are plyometric, some are functional, etc. 45 seconds on each station and 10-15 seconds rest. Its one sweaty mess! Here’s a little motivation to get you to the gym!

    Watch how I get a suprise close up of the hubs, haha!

Wild Basin Members Burning off those thanksgiving calories. Just look how hard they are working! I love how dedicated they ALL ARE!

Since I didn’t get to workout out with them, I did my own circuit afterwards. After picking the brains of some other trainers, here’s what I ended up with. Let m know if you try it!

I finished with a 1.5 mile run so that I got in 3miles during this circuit. Took me about 75 minutes or so. Felt good. try to do without really taking breaks. It’s a non-stop circuit. Stretch after!
I am feeling the DOMS already. hehe! I made some yummy filler up GF thin bread. I’ll post the recipe soon. It’s perfect because you can use some of your thanksgiving leftovers and/or ingredients.
