January 19

Today i was able to shadow the personal tranier once again as he led a group of people through boot camp circuit. Today's main focus for the session was muscular endurance. they did a warm up circut which included some dead lifts, lateral raises using a band, incline dumbell press, and tricep extentions. they went through this circuit for thirty seconds each exercise with little rest between, there were three rotations of all lifts. I thought this variation was very good because it hit all major muscle groups within the circut and without rest gave them further cardio endurance. once they were finished with that they moved to an all core circuit which had leg and trunk lifts, hip flexer sit ups, and planks. This was good because a strong core is what helps to get you through those day to day mundane activities that most people who do not engage in physical activity end up with low back pain and soreness. The thrid circut included jumping jacks, body squats, split legged body sqauts, and burpies. however some of the members where not able to do some of the exercises so they had to double up on the ones they could. finally they did a short cardio training session of the arc trainers. they had to do 10 seconds as hard as they can and coast for 20, they repeated this for 5 bouts. This was a great interval workout for them and helped to keep their heart rate up the entire time. Overall they all really liked the session.

Hours- 6-8
