Today was Bring a Friend Day at Step It Up fitness camp here in Smyrna. It can also be called Bring a Friend, Leave with an Enemy. I’m sure by the end of camp today, the friends were wondering what they did to deserve being “invited” to the big event.
Anyway, since it was BAF Day, I was sure we would need to take it a little easier on the “guests” so as not to create any unnecessary screaming. After our warmup jog, we hit the dynamic warmup drills, starting off with only 85 jumping jacks. From my calculations, we should have been up to at least 110 today, so a sign of good things to come?
Apparently not. Our first drill was based on a large square. We partnered up and as one partner did a particular drill (eg pushups, situps, moutain climbing, leg lifts, fire hydrants, etc.) the other partner sprinted around the giant square. Once the partner ran all the way around, they swapped with their partner and did the same drill whilst their partner zoomed around the humongous square. This exercise went on for about 30 minutes as Harold seemingly came up with new drills to keep adding on to the overall exercise. He’s a really quick thinker. Needless to say, I hope I never have to do the gargantuan square drill again.
We then moved on to sprints with jumps and pushups alternating at each end of our sprints and then finished up with some stretching. I was still feeling pretty good coming off of the rest from our day off on Sunday, but I can definitely feel today’s workout.
As I reminisce about today’s workout, it’s currently raining outside. Kind of reminds me of being a school kid and hoping school will be cancelled the next day due to snow (that’s right, I’m not from the South). With some severe storms currently predicted, I can hold out hope that camp might get cancelled in the morning. Keep your fingers crossed!!!
