“The road to excess leads to the palace of wisdom...for we never know what is enough until we know what is more than enough.”

Day 1 -
7 brave new recruits arrived at Sheldon Park in Killingworth bright and early on Tuesday, June 26th...at 0630 hours to be exact (military time) to begin their training towards happier, stronger and healthier lives. Some were nervous...some anxious...others were just plain afraid. All met the challenges presented to them that first morning. They learned that day that fitness can be fun! They learned to cheer each other on. The camaraderie of the group seemed to make working out a bit easier. These women ran laps around the field, did burpees, chopped medicine balls, stepped over fencing and learned to push themselves further than they thought they could go. They should be proud of themselves. I am proud of them!
Day 2 -
On Thursday, June 28th - 8 recruits reported for FocusFit Boot Camp. Today was a day to work out with a partner. This day brought the women to the playground area of the park. A place where they could go back to their childhoods - rolling a ball across the ground, doing jumping jacks, hanging from the swing set and stepping up on the picnic table. I know it sounds easy...but, you may hear differently from the women who met the challenge. We wrapped up with a single-file run around the large soccer field, cheering on our teammates. No recruit was left behind on the field. We start as a team...we finish as a team. Great job ladies! |
