Sussex Bootcamps on the Radio - What Happened!

As mentioned we had a brave Southern Counties reporter join us for a session in Haywards Heath on Tuesday!

It was a fun bit of exposure for us and Catherine (the reporter) had to find out more about what we do and then ended up with a couple of physical challenges. There were 2 live broadcasts on the radio.

After saying why we do what we do and the sort of people that have joined us, Ben took Catherine through the basics of a Kettlebell swing. This was with the aim of targeting a problem area of 'saddlebags' supposedly!!

The rest of the Bootcamp got on with their session as Ben put them through their paces. I helped Catherine to prepare for her challenges and told her more about the camp.

We ended up with the challenges being to perform a double jump (2 spins of a skipping rope to 1 jump), and then to hold a plank position for 20 seconds.

Not a massive challenge - the whole session would have been better - but not bad considering jeans and heels were the workout clothing of choice!

Thanks to all the participants of the 9.30 Beech Hurst Women's Bootcamp for putting up with the slight disruption!

We look forward to our next bit of media exposure.
