What We Did At Ravenscourt Park Boot Camp Today

It was a beautiful day for training in the park, probably one of the hottest days this year so far.

This is what we did.........

Warm Up: A fun and friendly "get to know the group" warmup with high fives, funny handshakes, and other group work to get the pulse raised for all.

Agility and Cardiovascular: Used cones to do a zig zag drill and also a lines drill doing shuttles. Also used the agility ladder to keep the guys on their toes (literally).

Strength and Conditioning Circuit: Skipping, Squat, Lunge, Press up, Plank, Get-ups

Stomach and Core: Pairs situps and crunches. Hard work but good fun!!

Then some stretching and a cool drink.

It was a great fun session with some new faces too!!

See you all next Tuesday

Ravenscourt Boot Camp is Growing!!

Hey guys, I have just got back from beautiful and sunny Ravenscourt Park in West London where I ran my 2nd bootcamp. Today I had 4 keen volunteers to try it our and they all had a great time and should be back on Friday or next Tuesday.

Here is what we did......
Warm up: Jogging in different directions within a coned off box. Floor touches. Rugby passes. Shoulder and back mobilisation, and a little more intense jogging/running heart raisers.

Circuit 1: Similar to a "ton up", but only doing five exercises each time, you run out to a line of cones and perform 5 press ups then back. Next time you do 5 press ups and 5 squats and back, and so on building up the number of exercises.

Lines Drill: There are a series of lines at different distances and the drill involves running out to them in order and back. Made harder by having to touch the lines with one or both hands.

Relay: Teams race out to a line and perform an exercixe and then high 5 their team mate who performs the same, and so on.

Game: Fun game passing a medicine ball between team members.

Cool down and stretching. Ahhhhhhhh (and lots of water becasue it was hot hot hot!!)

Bootcamp is at 10.00 every Tuesday and Friday in Ravenscourt Park. First session is free!!
