It’s less then 60 days til the end of the year?!
Greetings and salutations.
As we enter into the final days of 2011, let’s look back on some fond moments.
We have done 160 workouts this year between the morning and evening groups.
We lost Helen in the park and watched Maree bear crawl down the amphitheatre stairs.
Oh and remember that 2 degree morning when your fingers nearly fell off. And then when it happened again!
There are many pleasant memories that include jumping up hills, running with ropes around the oval and even a certain person telling me to f*** off this very morning.
Oh and did I mention wet shoes?
So why do we do it? Only you can answer that.
I do it because I love it. I love being outside, I love watching people get fitter, I love watching people work together and I love watching new friendships blossom. But most of all, I love that exhausted yet proud look on someone’s face when they have completed a particularly tough workout.

Bootcamp Break Up, Movember and Christmas Party
Something awesome is going down on the 26th November. Well actually 2 things are.
- Free charity bootcamp session. At 11am on Saturday 26th Novmeber I will be running a free bootcamp at Westfield Reserve, Fairfield to raise awareness for Movember, Beyond Blue and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. By then my Mo should almost look like a real Mo.
I say free but donations are more then welcome and encouraged. In fact, I will donate $5 for each person who participates. If you wish to donate now, you can do so online here. - After the bootcamp there will be a free BBQ with sausages and socializing at the same spot for the See Change Christmas Party. Drink some beer and champagne and reminisce on the good times spent running up the grass hills.
Congratulations Emma!
Emma Wilkinson-Beards, who does our 6am bootcamp, is getting married on Sunday 13th November. Emma was a complete star as well, continuing bootcamp right up to the weekend of the wedding. Be sure to congratulate her when you see her at next bootcamp.
Client Profile – Tamara ‘Tamm’ Hyde
Tamm has been making evening bootcamp awesome for a whole year now. She is always enthusiastic and up for a good challenge bootcamp workout. She is also a rock star in her spare time and packs a mean set of guns (her arms, not real weapons).
How long have you been doing bootcamp?
Tamm: Since October 2010
What is your favourite exercise?
Tamm: Favourite single exercise: The Gravedigger; Favourite “Routine”: Team/partner complete x number of reps in a session (don’t know what this is called?)
The gravedigger is a side plank with an elbow touch to the ground. The workout she is talking about is usually called an Ironman or Decathalon workout.
Favourite quote?
Tamm: There are two types of people in this world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data…
What is something that not many people know about you?
I’m secretly a bit of a nerd (if you can’t tell from the quote)
What inspires you when you are not in mood for exercise?
Music is good, but reminding myself how much more energetic I’ll feel after a session is the best motivator for me.
Best Alcohol Choices this Summer to Avoid Insidious Weight Gain
To most Australian’s, summer means beaches and drinking and BBQ’s and drinking and Christmas parties and drinking and and New Year’s Eve and drinking and eating and drinking. Oh, and did I mention drinking?
I therefore accept the fact that you are going to have some drinks over your summer. There is no point trying to deny it so let’s just move onto damage control.
Control your drinking
Wipe that smirk off your face! I know that the words control and alcohol don’t normally go together.
The first thing to do is to set some limits. Just like you don’t eat McDonald’s for dinner every night (I hope), you need to avoid drinking every night over Christmas.
