Hope yours was as entertaining as the Sunshine Camp today!

 

oh, and then there’s this.

 

 

We had a muddy fun time at the Warrior Dash – what a great way to spend a Sunday. Enjoy the photos. ;)

November Gumsaba Calendar

There are many things we all do, but few of us do 100o reps of anything a month! This time around, the exercises are challenging in many different ways. Remember, the point is to do more than you have before; don’t go getting injured because you over commit or are trying to make up reps!

Here are some ideas for 1000 club, if you have different ideas please talk to me about it before starting your reps.

Navy Seal Ups

Kettle Bell Swings

DL Squat –  Back Lunge Press

Korean Jump Jack (counted in pairs, ie: R + L = 1 rep

Monkey Push Ups

Sumo Prisoner Squat

Minutes stretching

Post your commitment one of these ways:

These two videos were taken yesterday after FRIDAY FUNDAY. I asked all the women why they GUMSABA. Please excuse the poor videography, I’m good at a few things and clearly this isnt one of them! Its still fun to watch though.

As a Gumsaba Coach, I do Gumsaba because everyday I have the pleasure of “working” with all of you; a group of women who could not be more inspiring, positive, helpful, hilarious, spiritual and fundamentally AWESOME.

Thank you for helping me fulfill my big dream of making the world a bit better for having been here! :) Coach M

 

 

We played some serious 80′s hair metal today while running the circuit, which juxtaposed the hoola hoop station quite nicely. Nothing like hitting a hoola hoop to Motley Crue and RATT! Blumhart also decided that we should call eachother by last names going forward; we’ll see if this picks up. I’ve labeled the photos with some of your last names for kicks! :)

 

The sunshine class went out to celebrate all of the Campers who have harvest Bdays. Xenia in Alamo was the spot; it was a great time! Unfortunately these photos are really dark – if you went and have some that are more clear, send them and I will post.

All you ladies look GUMSABA GORGEOUS! :)

A great reason to push yourself in your workouts and eat well. See you at BOOT CAMP!

Some shots of our friday circuit at Sunshine Camp; hopefully there is more of this beautiful Autumn weather in store for us this week!
