Emotions During Physical Exertion

 
Emotions During Physical Exertion
 
I ran what I thought was a tough 10km today... Although the run itself didn’t affect me, it was the toughest run I had undertaken in a while... Mentally!
 
As I ran, I wondered what our boot campers feel during RCBC sessions or indeed during there own training sessions and runs...
 
You see, today, I set off in my head thinking I will run an easy 5km followed by a slightly faster 10km but not race pace. The first 3km were OK, I felt good in my body, legs felt strong as I am doing some awesome leg sessions in preparation for upcoming races!

Salomon Trainer Review

Re-Create Product Review

Salomon Speed Cross 2

Having been a Salomon Speed Cross user over the last 18 months and trialled a lot of other trail/fell trainers over the years I have to admit this trainer has been one I have stuck with and would totally recommend for Re-Create Boot Camp!

As well as being super light weight, the shoe is well cushioned and very responsive to most things thrown at it such as sharp turns, varying gradients, mud, grass, soil and rock/rubble terrain.  The rubber studded sole holds well and the true to fit sizes hold the foot/ankle tight and secure over uneven & wet terrain.

Be a part of something

I was recently chatting with a Re-Create Boot Camper about how she is finding it, being a part of Re-Create Boot Camp.  Her answer was this: “I feel like I am a part of something”

That statement played on my mind for a while which urged me to write this article.  You see, when I set out to build Re-Create Boot Camp, I looked back on past boot camps I had ran... I looked at other boot camps in the area and how they go about doing the stuff they do.

Having gained as much information as I could, not to mention the amount of gyms I have worked in as a Personal Trainer and Gym Manager.

Re-Create Boot Camp Hellvelyn Expedition

Re-Create Boot Camp Hellvelyn Expedition

On a mild Sunday morning of 9 October 2012, 15 of our dedicated Re-Create boot campers met at Lymm services ready to head off in convoy for a day in the mountains. 

No one could quite believe what the day had in store for us!

After a nice drive down with our two favourite Knutsford Campers, Lucy and Zoe and our hockey ninja, Jacko... We were soon arriving at Patterdale Car Park surrounded by mountains with a lovely grey skies looming down on us while the fog clung to the top of the mountain tops awaiting our arrival.

Getting started with a new Fitness regime

Getting started with a new Fitness regime

Deciding to start a new fitness regime can be one of the best decisions you ever make for your health and overall daily lifestyle.  Committing yourself to lose weight, shape up, reduce your risk of health problems, build self confidence and your self-esteem.

Research suggests that it takes at approximately three weeks to form a good habit. Therefore, before getting started, you must realise that the magic isn’t going to happen overnight and, to get the results you want, you have to pledge your time and make a commitment to YOURSELF!

Why is water so important?

Water is an important part of our body’s makeup. Without regular hydration we can become depleted of the water levels our bodies crave. As our bootcamp sessions aim to get you sweating, it is essential that our members are clued up on the importance of hydration and its benefits.
 
Why do we need water?
 
Water is responsible for over half of our body weight . As a result it constantly requires topping up to ensure all bodily processes run the way they’re supposed to. The amount of fluid lost from the body depends on both the activity levels of the individual and environmental temperature and humidity.

Dealing with Injuries


Every instructor at Re-Create Boot Camp are highly trained, professional and experienced in the health and fitness field.  This may come as a surprise to some boot campers, but when they conduct each boot camp session, they are not JUST shouting at you all to do more... They are focussed on form and exercise safety to ensure each rep is performed correctly. 

Now, as much as we do everything to ensure no injuries occur, sometimes they do. It may be that one sets off to quick and “pulls” their thigh or strains their neck muscles doing sit ups or twinges an ankle on the rough ground.

The Re-Create Residential Boot Camp

The Re-Create Residential Boot Camp Blog

Today is the last day of our Residential Boot Camp and what an awesome, exhilarating and challenging week our boot campers have had! 

We have put them through a huge variety of physical activities ranging from high intensity exercise to low key, long distance endurance training!  Our boot campers have experienced emotions they probably never thought possible, ached in places they never thought possible and achieved things they never thought possible!
