I always see to it that I motivate, energize my campers. Now, it's about time that you are empowered! design a workout routine based on our camp's workout and then do it yourself, email me and then we will do it altogether next week! Once I received the first one, I will do it myself, for my Saturday workout....
I just visited your site and your exercises look really cool. What is a typical challenging routine during your camps? Thanks!
Jess
Thanks Jess!
Once or twice every 3 weeks, we do FCT \"300\" challenge and/or \"One-Minute\" challenge.
the 300\'s
60 pushups
60 mt. climbers
60 db thrusters (in lieu of squat thrusts)
60 DB swings
60 burpees
the 1-minute
15 pullups
20 pushups
30 body squats
all, in one minute
Let me know if you need descriptions....
Recently, one of my campers, Hugh (off-camp) sent me an email regarding a routine he designed almost the same as FCT\'s with a twist...here\'s how:
20 pushups
20 burpees
20 squat thrusts
20 mt. climbers
20 db swings
plus 1-mile run...Do all of the above 3x!!! It\'s called the \"303\"
I did the challenge at the both the evening and morning camps. The evening campers did it amidst the 107 degrees summer heat...whining a little bit, but they all finished STRONG!
The morning campers did it and the fastest completed it in 35 minutes! To motivate another camper, they altogether did another mile with him which gave them the name, the \"304\"ers. I thought that was the best moment at FCT if you are asking about a challenging routine. I was amazed at my campers\' dedication...
I would suggest you come and join the challenge.

cool. let me email you...thanks!
Here is another routine I do at least once a week. It\'s all core exercise and will really strengthen your lower back. Just remember it is important to stretch your back often during this routine.
50 crunches
50 reverse crunches
50 left side crunches
50 right side crunches
50 leg lifts
50 sit ups
3 minute plank
125 bicycle maneuvers (and remember kids left leg, right leg only counts as 1 rep)
Then I do a second set but substitute the 3 minute plank with 90 seconds each of side plank.
This has helped a lot in strengthening my abs and keeping my back healthy.
Stay healthy and have fun doing it! Hugh
Wait until ya\'ll get a look at the workout Georges and are are putting together...it will be interesting
Hugh, looks like I\'d never be able to cough or laugh after doing that!!!! Ughhh
Eric and Georges, I\'m not sure If I could teach kickboxing tonight....!
I joined the camp May 24. I have never been more motivated about losing weight and getting fit and healthy. Henry has really changed my life. Even though I missed three weeks and a few days, since I joined, I\\\\\\\'ve lost 15 pounds and several inches. I can\\\\\\\'t stop now. I will reach my goal of weighing 200 pounds by the end of the year.
Save the date and bring your family out for a fun-free day. Check out http://www.tcsheriff.org/outreach/extravaganza.html for more details.
