FitCamp day 1

FitCamp started today with a wide range of fitness levels in attendance.  We had the young, the mid aged crisis and the mature group.  It was a nice mixture of personalities to train with as well as  share the pain.

Not doing a FitCamp before and once being a fit athlete, I was very impressed with the difficulty and challenge of each exercise.  Often you attend a group class and find that its either way to easy or way to hard.  Martin and Kurt have a "at your own pace" program but its as hard you can go" at your own pace".

I did the FitCamp at my own pace.  I spend most of the solid hour of training between 150-170 heartrate with several spikes to 185.  I even saw 191 during a sprint section and that was enough to tell me that it was a hard workout.  I was keeping track of my heartrate and workout using my Garmin 405 watch.  In the post workout download, I saw a total of 1375 calories burned during this 1 hour of training.  1375...that is a really big number.

My 2 sons did Fitcamp as well and they are just 10 and 12.  Aiden, the oldest, was telling me how much fun it was and they wanted to do it again on Sunday.  Aiden worked so hard he threw up at about the 40 minute point.  Ashton, the 10 year old, had enough at about the 45 minute point and resigned to watching us finish up.

I would can not wait till next Saturday to see what new challenges Martin and Kurt have for us.
