Boot Camp Burlingame Personal Trainer 9/25/15: Spartan 100 Challenge

4 Phase Warm-Up:

Phase 1: Supine Position Breathing/Drawing In Maneuver

Perform 1-2 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing while lying supine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-_NNCrrdus Lie on back and initiate breathing with belly–>rib cage and then chest, instead of initiating with chest. Breathe in and out of nose for approximately 15s each breath (5s inhale–> 5 s hold–> 5 s exhale). Emphasize that campers do this upon rising and going to sleep and if they want an amazing shift in their state at any time, while breathing think about 3 things they are grateful for.

Phase 2: Foundation Mobility Training (5 Min) Incorporate movements similar or the same as the workouts below Explain the need to be in good posture for optimal breathing efficiency, strength, endurance, balance, etc  and to reduce potential injuries. With each movement incorporate breathing and make the movements flow.  If there are tight areas focus on those areas and continue to breathe.

Challenge: This is a group workout. Coach cues campers on each movement. Perform as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes as a group. Rest as needed but the goal is to keep moving.

Call out exercises and group will follow for 10 reps within 30s. If a camper completes 10 reps before 30s, have them jog or do a cardio movement (burpees, jacks, etc). If they don’t get 10 reps in 30s, let them know it is okay and to do the best they can.
