You guys know all about Jane’s workout routine and I thought I would stick to the theme by sharing my workout stuffs with you. I am an in no way one of THOSE!!! Oh you know what type I am talking about. Seriously, type WOD into the search of WordPress and see what comes up. Yeah… anymahoo.
I do bootcamp twice a week for one hour at a time at a private type gym that is fully kitted out for crossfit. This gym is close to Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens in Ruimsig. Hopefully I will be able to bootcamp 3 times a week as I used to play action netball as well but have had to stop for this year. In my mind bootcamp is the retarded younger sister of Crossfit. Anyone that has actually done Crossfit would probably agree. I USED to think this until I spoke to some other people about wanting to start on Crossfit and they all advised me against it, as you put way too much strain on your body and there are quite a few Crossfit related injuries out there so I am just sticking to bootcamp for now.
There is not much to say about bootcamp apart from DEATH BY BURPEES!!! Oh you haven’t heard of burpees? Well say hello to my little friend.
Loads of rowing and skipping, kettlebell exercises, push-ups, sit ups, squats, lunges and varieties of each of these. Bootcamp is part of this HIIT thing. High Intensity Interval Training which keeps your heart rate in that fat burning zone by mixing up cardio with weight training. I can see you ladies cringing… Believe you me I am not a Hellga lookalike (YET) and I have been at bootcamp for a year now. If you study up on some weight training you will see that when you do weight training then your muscles burn fat WHILE YOU ARE SITTING DOING NOTHING!!! Talk about muscles working hard. I don’t know about you but I like that idea.
If you are really interested in what I do at bootcamp, I do have some extensive moaning sessions on my blog… visit here.
How do you burn them fatsies?
