Beauties and the Beach

Today we took to the beach for a boot camp class. This beach is in my home town of Norwalk,CT about 4 miles or so from where I live. It is so gorgeous there!
So what did we do?

1. Warmed up - walk, jog to limbering exercises as a group.
2. Went over each drill as everyone was still jogging and moving.
3. Start drill session - 2 minute endurance drills
a) Woodybag over head throws
b) “Dig for China” leg slides - like mt. climbers only using the sand as resistance on legs. (I heard some groans on this one ;-)
c) Kettlebell walking swings
d) Resistance tubing (the thickest made) split lunge with bicep curls
e) Woody band squat and over head press (killer)
f) Med ball jump squats w/ over head swing
h) Long stride sand walk
We rotated through these once running to each station.

4. Compound movements (done with hand weights) for all muscle groups
5. Abs with dumbbell on beach towel
6. Yoga and meditative stretch - toes in the sand.

This took about 1 hour total. It was a gorges crisp day and I want to thank all the ladies for coming out! You all worked your tail feathers off! Donna and Gigi I loved the hats gals! 

(Here are some photo’s of the event. I wasn’t planning on someone snapping pictures...Thanks Lorry & JLO ;)
