Please read carefully: This
is a multi-week program with three workouts a
week. They will be on Tuesday evening, Thursday
evening and Saturday morning.
It’s
spring time in Alberta and time to think
about getting in shape. How about coming out for a
Boot Camp style workout tailored to your own
personal fitness level? It doesn’t matter if you
are a couch potato, an ultra-marathoner, or
anywhere in between, this workout will help you on
your way to a fitter lifestyle.
How much would you expect to pay for a fitness
boot camp? Edmonton gyms advertise boot camps at
$29.00 for four sessions. That’s 12 sessions for
$116.00! With the EOC boot camp you pay a
voluntary donation of $2.00 per session. That’s
$24.00 for 12 sessions! A savings of… well, a
lot!
Interval
circuit weight training is the very best exercise
for your body. It builds muscle and bones, burns
fat and ½ hour is better for your cardio fitness
than running 10 kilometres! This is the perfect
way to get a jump on your summer fitness goals, or
better yet, to re-energize that New Year’s
resolution you made to get back in shape.
The workout consists of 10 core stabilizing
exercises, each done for 30 seconds with a 15
second break in between. When the ten are
finished, there is a two minute break, the circuit
is repeated, another two minute break and the
circuit is repeated a third time. Each circuit
takes 7.5 minutes, so three circuits and two rest
periods in between make for a total of 27.5
minutes.
The ten exercises work every major muscle group of
the body and are designed for overall fitness so
they are perfect for a broad range of fitness and
weight loss goals. The weights used depend on your
own level of strength and should be so that you
can easily do 10-12 reps of an exercise.
This program is really two programs, one for men
and one for women. The men’s version is designed
by the experts at Men’s Health Magazine while the
women’s version is designed by the experts at
Women’s Health Magazine. That is the reason I
chose these two, they are almost identical with
only two minor variations for gender.

Women's Routine
We will meet at Emily Murphy Park in the
parking lot close to the Groat Road bridge at
5:45. (Look for my big yellow Nissan Xterra and
the ever present yellow EOC hat) The workout will
begin promptly at 6:00.
After our workout
we will head off West for a
walk to Hawrelak Park where we will take a short
break to enjoy our protein shake/snack before
returning to Emily Murphy Park and our vehicles.
So, if you want to get in shape in a
fun,
and motivational, environment come out and give it
a try. You have nothing to lose, except a few
pounds, and much to gain. Exercise is known to
improve your physical and mental health giving you
more energy and a better outlook on life.
