Too Cold For Outdoor Fitness Boot Camp?

Q. Hi Dan I have a question, is the boot camp run outdoors the whole time?

How do people cope with the colder temperatures in winter?

I am wondering whether I would get more out of the camp if I did it during a warmer month?

A. Yes the camp is always outdoors, don't worry about the cold weather after a 5min warm up you won't even notice it.

Just put a couple of extra layers on when leaving the house and as your getting warmed up, lose a layer at a time – the workout will be more than enough to keep you warm.

If you want to get into shape for the warmer months, now’s the time to get started.

Leave it till it gets warmer and you'll be too late for summer.

Cheers,

Dan

Kettlebell Personal Training, Sydney

Recently I have been asked many questions regarding the use of kettlebells, people want to know what the benefits are.

I have been using kettlebells with my clients for the past 18 months. I love them, they're great for toning, strength, endurance, cardiovascular fitness and are sport specific. If you're busy they're a great tool for a quick workout.

Kettlebell training gives you the biggest bang for your buck, it’s the most effective form of training for achieving the most out of your workout in the shortest amount of time.

Give kettlebell training a try for a couple of months, I doubt you’ll be rushing back to the gym to stand in queue in a hurry!

On recent trip to Kangaroo Valley I felt like a workout and got some of it on film... below is one of my favourite exercises - the high pull, clean, snatch and press.

It's a combination lift working many muscles at once - great for a quick workout and makes a good finisher.

You can either perform this exercise for time or for reps.

Have fun!
