This Is NOT A Test: The Fitness Assessment

MeanRachel actually made it in to class this morning. I am very impressed. There was the threat of a personalized "you haven't been to boot camp in a while" circuit if she opted out of today's Fitness Assessment, so lo and behold she ran!

For those of you that don't know aka New Campers, please note: This is not a competition. Well, unless you compete with yourself which is completely fine. The fitness assessment is just a way for you to gauge your progress as you go through camp.

At the start of camp you will do an initial body composition assessment (aka: measurements) and a strength and stamina assessment (aka: The Fitness Assessment) which is a combo of different exercises. Yea, no one enjoys getting on the scale but its just a number. Seriously, you may not like it but you can look at it and then kiss it goodbye and we'll work on getting you as far away from that number as we can. As for the exercises you'll see them again after the Assessment and I'm certain that you will improve.

After that we have THE MILE. Not to make it scary or anything...just know that the most important thing is to keep moving! I bring my ipod on mile day and am currently listening to "What I Like About You" by The Romantics, "Pump It" by Black Eyed Peas, and "Beware the Boys" by Panjabi MC. As for pace, don’t make the mistake that I did when I started of trying to hang with the girls in the front. By all means push yourself but if you have never run a mile or like me last year had not run a mile since high school gym class, don’t try to pace yourself out with the girls in front. Find a pace where you can keep it steady, breathe and keep running until you get to the end. If you have to walk, walk. But catch your breath and run again, even if it’s just the last stretch. Then you can collapse in the parking lot. Just kidding. See you at camp!
