In my shameless effort of plugging my business venture, I felt it might be appropriate to give you an idea of what exactly we have been doing at Guerrilla Bootcamp.
Week 1: We showed up at The Great Lawn in downtown Louisville. If you've never been here, it's a great big giant open area located right on the Ohio River. We had good attendance especially considering it was my first week. Granted it was mostly my coworkers at SHPS but hey, you have to have start somewhere. I brought my big tractor tire and needless to say my guerrillas were a little worried at what that had in store for them. We started with basic instruction on squat and pushup technique. This is something we always do at the beginning. I think this is something that sets me apart from others, my attention to detail with exercise form and mobility. We did 4 rounds of 20 squats, 10 pushups, and 30 yard sprints. Then we did 4 rounds of 10 burpees and 10 toe touches on the tire. Then came a little friendly competition where it was guys vs. girls on the tire flip. There were twice as many girls as guys so I figured it would be fair. The guys still won by a full minute. All in all I think it was a very successful week and we had a lot of fun.
Week 2: My guerrillas attacked my favorite spot in all of Louisville. Dog Hill at Cherokee Park is LEGENDARY! I had a few different faces show up this week which was great. We started with a warm up of 3 rounds of 10 squats, 5 pushups, 10 shoulder press with PVC pipe. We then took advantage of some small steps and did some bounding up the steps both double leg and single leg. Then it was off to the hill...THE HILL. Now I'm not sure if you've ever seen this hill but it's about 400 meters in length and I have no idea what the incline is but I'm pretty sure "steep as hell" serves as a great barometer. With this we did 3 rounds of 10 medicine ball slams and hill runs. Ugh. Pure nasty. Then we played a little game with the medicine ball. I would toss the ball down the hill and they had to get it before it got away. 2 of my guerrillas weren't as fortunate as the rest of the band. They had to run all of the way down the hill. All of my other guerrillas got to it within about 10 feet. They were the lucky ones. Needless to say, a fun time was had by all.
Week 3: We attacked Fern Creek High School track this past week. I brought a full arsenal of weapons that included kettlebells and my trusty medicine ball. We started with a basic ROM warmup. Then we moved to KB swings so that everyone could get the range of motion down with this as it would be part of the big workout later. Once I felt everyone was comfortable with that we started our chipper. We did a chipper consisting of 50 squats, 50 pushups, 20 KB swings, 20 ball slams, 50 shoulder presses with PVC pipe, and finishing with a 400 meter sprint while lunging between each of those stations. You initially have 3 minutes to complete as much as possible, then rest 1 minute. Then you have 6 minutes to complete as much as possible with 2 minutes rest. Then you run through the whole circuit. Now this was great training for my band of guerrillas. I think they liked it.
This week we are attacking the Yum! Center in downtown Louisville. I have a ton of good stuff planned at a monumental landmark. This is going to be absolutely epic and I implore you to be there if you are in the Louisville area. It is definitely a training session you will not want to miss.
