Ormond Adventure Boot Camp: Rock hard abs.....

Rock hard abs.....

Mon. June 7th 5:30 pm bootcamp:

Tonight's boot camp was "Cardio/Core." We did all kinds of running or running in place switching off to jumping jacks and squat jumps, etc. Then we got down on our mats to do core exercises which are so hard for me. I don't remember the name of the core exercise where you roll back while holding a weight and then end up in a standing position but it is one of the hardest exercises for me. I can never seem to get up to a standing position without using my hands to push me up. Another one my personal goals to keep working on. I do know that I wasn't able to do a plank on my hands just my elbows and now I can do it starting out on my hands. I can only stay up about 8 to 10 seconds before taking a quick break and starting again but that is definitely progress!

I thought we might get rained out yet again but it just stayed cloudy which was a blessing. I was hoping for some rain by about the middle of class because sweat was pouring off me! This week we are doing 4 classes in a row to make up for the rain day last week - ugh! This is going to be a challenge but I always feel so good driving home from boot camp. The sense of accomplishment that is felt is all one can hope for! Am looking forward to what is in store for us tonight!

What do I need to bring?

An exercise mat, one set of small hand weights (3, 5 or 8 lbs), water bottle, running shoes, and a sense of adventure.

What can I achieve from camp?

Your body will become more fit and toned, and you will gain more confidence making a dramatic improvement in your physical well-being.

Why should I participate?

You will make a dramatic improvement in your physical well-being. In addition, you will meet great people who share your same passion for acquiring a more healthy body and mind. You will be finished with your training before the rest of the world has even gotten started!

We are now accepting pre-registration for the next camp.

How do you join Ormond Boot Camp?

How do I sign up now?

Go to the registration page and fill out the registration form. After filling out the registration form, please follow the payment instructions. We accept cash, check or you can pay via credit card securely and online. Once we've received your registration information, we'll contact you to schedule your pre-camp evaluation.

What is the Pre Camp Evaluation?

The Pre-Camp Evaluation includes the following:
1. We will give you an introduction to Boot Camp and answer any questions you may have. We will also review your medical history.

2. We will take a few simple measurements to see where you are prior to beginning camp. We don't care what the measurements show. It's strictly for a post-camp comparison. These numbers and all other information will be held in the strictest confidence.

3. We will measure your body fat percentage. Again, the numbers don't matter. We just want to be able to measure your improvement. Don't be surprised if you see a 2-4% reduction in your body fat over the three weeks!

4. You will receive your Welcome Packet and at the end of the session you'll receive your Boot Camp T-shirt.

What if I sign up for the three-day plan and then want to do more days of the camp?

After starting camp, many women realize how fun and convenient it is so they request to sign up for more days. In addition, they realize that the more days they attend camp the greater the results. In these situations, you will simply be pro-rated from the point you decide to join us for more days.

Will I be sore sometimes?

Most people feel some soreness for the first 2-3 days. After that point, it is slight to moderate. It's part of the process that lets you improve!

What kinds of people go to camp?

They are people just like you. Someone who needs a little push to jump start their fitness and wellness program. Some exercise experience is needed to ensure your safety and a better flow of class.

Is there a refund policy?

If you are unable to attend camp due to circumstances out of your control, we can offer you a refund if you notify us prior to your session start date. However we will charge a $50.00 cancellation fee. If we are notified after your session begins, we can only give you a credit towards another boot camp. This credit is nontransferable. Credit is not given toward private fitness training. There is no cash refund. This is not negotiable.

What is a typical day like at camp?

That's difficult to say since each day is intentionally different to alleviate boredom. You can expect some light running, weight training, obstacle courses, core training and jumping rope each week. On special days, we will take a field trip to a different location. It's always an adventure, and you'll always have fun! We teach you a great deal about proper form and "core stability."

How soon will I see results?

Performance improvement can take place in as little as three days. "Visual Improvement" can take from two to four weeks depending on your effort level. It's becoming common to see a camper go down 1-2 dresses sizes within the first camp. Remember, everyone is different!

What will I do after camp is over?

You can get re-measured and tested to show your progress and success in the program. Many (up to 95%) of the campers return for a second and even third camp.
