Recap of Week 5 for the Women and Week 6 for the Men

Well another beautiful week in San Diego and some great heart pounding, calorie burning workouts together. We kicked off the week Monday at 6am with a guest from the Men's Boot Camp. Eliot Ward joined us. I didn't want to scare Eliot off so I decided not to partner him with Keely. Andrea showed him how the ladies like to workout. We did our band runs and our relay races through the ladders. There was some good grunting going on by the end of the workout.

I noticed with the 9:15 group that everyone is looking much stronger than they were 5 weeks ago, despite many people getting over colds and bronchitis.

We had a tough circuit on Wednesday at Torrey Del Mar and tried out the ropes with the women for the first time. Wow! A minute on those ropes feels like an eternity. I heard from everyone that they were pretty sore after that workout. Hopefully you got a good day or two of yoga in also this week.

The men did their timed obstacle course since it was their last official session and across the board everyone improved their times. We added some fancy ropes, heavier kettlebells and even some BOSU's for the circuit on Thursday. Men and BOSU's is often very entertaining but I have to say, this group is especially coordinated.

We ended our week at Torrey Hills and spent the first 30 minutes on the stairs. Then the women did a fast paced circuit using ropes, kettle bells, jump ropes, bands and some of Emma's killer lunges. I figure if we all keep doing Emma's lunges, we'll soon have Emma's butt.

Good luck to fellow campers Trish Wood and Keely Barrera. They will be heading up to Long Beach. Keely will finally get the opportunity to cross off marathon from her To-Do List. That's one monkey she's got to get off her back. Make us proud Keely and at least show up Monday morning to fill us in. Trish will be doing another 1/2 marathon. This has to be at least 5 for you since I've known you.

Have a great weekend and I'll see everyone next week for some great workouts!
