Remember guys – the idea with these workouts is to:
1) Gauge your own progress and fitness level month-to-month
2) Mix things up and have fun!
So don’t get too wrapped around comparing your time to everyone else’s … the idea is to try and improve on the previous month’s performance and standing.
Have a great weekend!

June Challenge Workout

It’s time again for the monthly challenge workout!!

June’s workout is called the ‘Body Weight and Kettlebell 300 Challenge’
Inspiration for this workout came from the ‘original’ 300 workout (a workout designed for and utilized by the cast of the movie 300).
Here’s a quick video demo of the original 300 workout:

Here’s what the version we’ll be doing this week in our group personal training and boot camp sessions will look like:

50 Kettlebell Swings (16k for women, 24k for men)
50 Push Ups (Knee Push Ups for women, Standard Push Ups for men)
50 Squat Jumps
50 Sit Ups (feet unanchored)
50 Walking Lunges
50 Mountain Climbers

Repeat entire sequence for time. All 50 reps of each exercise must be completed before moving on to the next one.

Good luck! Results will be posted at the end of the week.

P.S. Now is as good a time as ever to get involved with one of our group personal training sessions in East Sacramento or our Land Park Boot Camp! Call (916) 273-9366 or contact us here to schedule a free introductory session today!

“Until one is committed there is hesitancy, a chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless dreams and splendid plans. That the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too.”


– Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
