Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention.
I have a very special announcement to make. We have arrived at the final week of the final phase of the 2009 Boot Camp Calendar. Week #6, of the very 1st 6 week phase of Change Your Body Boot Camps history has arrived and is ready to deliver 1 final, magical week of body transformations to its highly respected, superstar clientele. With its arrival has come the uber famous, extremely popular and oh so difficult Challenge Week.
Challenge Week
Challenge week is a week of physical challenges, most of which are team challenges. It started out as challenge day and became so popular and revered that it evolved into a challenge week.
The way it works, is I’ll take your existing workout and ask you to complete “X” number of reps or “X” number of rounds in 20 minutes or to beat “X” reps/rounds in the least amount of time. It’s physically painful because your lungs and muscles will burn, your eyes fill with sweat and your mind is challenged to the max (I can’t go on, I can go on, etc…). It’s also really fun in a crazy way because for some reason, your peers L-O-V-E it and requested that we keep it.
The reason we have the challenge week besides the fun part is because I want you to see how far you’ve come and to peak for measurements and testing. This week you’ll be able to shed a lot of body fat and body weight and earn a really hard, lean & tight body. You’re going to love how you look and feel. I promise.
So be prepared to do your best, to count reps or rounds and to support your teammates. The energy this week is going to be amazing.
This week’s agenda:
- Challenge Week
- Week 5 Summary
- Cardio Minutes
- Measurements & Testing
- Charity Workout
- Recovery Week #2
- 2010 Schedule
- Change Your Body Challenge (CYBC)
Week 5 Summary
You survived progression week. What did you think? Did you try a level up? Did you set any personal records?
- Progress a level up in exercises
- Do more reps
- Take less rest (you don’t need to use all 200 seconds)
- Use more weight
- Do more work in the same time
- Go faster
Your peers reported feeling sore at the beginning of the week, but less sore by the end.
Can you feel your body changing? Are you getting excited about it?
High five if you made it to boot camp on Wednesday during the Snow Day. You did well. J
Cardio Minutes:
| Time | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Total |
| 6am | 20 | 20 | 20 | 60 |
| 9am | 20 | 23 | 20 | 63 |
| 6:30pm | 21 | 20 | 20 | 61 |
Week 6 Goals:
Rookies / Returning boot campers: males = 175 minutes, females = 250 minutes
Measurements & Testing
The last M&T will be from 6-8am on Saturday, December 19, 2009 at the boys & girls club. This week is your final push. Save your splurge meal for Saturday night, eat clean all week and match or beat your cardio minutes. Do this and you’ll help ensure a favorable recording day.
Most everyone else is gaining weight this holiday season and getting out of shape, but not you. You’re fighting holiday season weight gain and building momentum for 2010. Prepare to win!
Charity Workout
6am, Wednesday, December 23 at the Mackenzie Center there will be a charity workout to benefit the Sacred Heart Parish. SHP was very patient and flexible with me as I grew my business from scratch this year, so I’d like to say thank you to them by helping support their non-profit endeavors.
I’ll be teaching the end of year recovery workout that all 3-month and 12-month members will be receiving. If you’d like to join us, please rsvp by commenting below and bring a $20 check payable to the Sacred Heart Parish.
Recovery Week 2
Your 30-30 recovery week workout is ½ complete. Thank you Marisa Cimino for taking the photos & videos of me performing the workouts (thank you also for the hand towel).
