Rush hour traffic in Haywards Heath left me a little late for a planned workout on Whitemans Green.
Rather than miss out altogether, Ben and Katie joined me for a 10 minute blast and then carried on while i taught a kettlebell induction.
We just went with some big bang movements for maximum effect - the best way! Tools for the job were kettlebells and ViPR's.
Kettlebells you have no doubt started to hear about, but ViPR's are pretty new on the scene. This are rubber tubes which come in different sizes and weights which have some handles for different use.
They are a great tool for loading some athletic and multi-dimentional movements, and are really nice to use outdoors.
Anyway, first round was 30s of kettlebell snatches per arm, 30s rest and then 1 min of a ViPr move - step with an uppercut.
Then it was back to KB Snatches, then a ViPR shuffle and shovel movement.
Last was 50s per arm of clean to push press, followed by ViPR flips.
This added up to a great 10 minutes that left my whole body feeling good. Ben and Katie carried on to a point that maybe they started to not feel so good!!
The kettlebell induction was followed up with a great session. People are really getting the hang of the bells and finding them to be a great complement to bootcamp.
These sunny evenings have been awesome to get some outdoor exercise and Whitemans Green in Cuckfield provides a fantastic view to enjoy at the same time.

This is a great blog. Our gym (Illuminate Gym www.illuminategym.com) just started offering boot camps and we could use all the advice we can get on having a successful boot camp. Thanks so much for your time and if you have any advice let us know.
Well, thanks for the idea about training in such a way. But have you ever used any modern things like iPhone application for keeping fit? what about Iphone Fitness Pedemeter by Viaden Mobile? Have you used it? If yes, how do you find it?
