Day 2: Welcome to Bootcamp!

Today the MOOsers joined an actual bootcamp class and fit right in.  The 630am class was very welcoming and extremely excited to have the MOOsers join them.  Todays workout was a circuit based workout that allowed for a lot of quality work to be done.  Here is what they did:

PHA

Rows
See Saw Press
Double Kettlebell Squat/Goblet Squat
Flutter Kicks

30 seconds per movement with 10 seconds transition.  Repeat for 8 rounds without rest. 

Sorry no video footage today but sure to have some tomorrow.

Talked with some of the MOOsers after class about nutrition and how things were going in the early stages and it sounds like they are catching on pretty quickly.  There were a lot of questions about post workout and protein powders.  Here is my quick tip on post workout shakes.

Post workout shakes should have a combination of protein and carbohydrates preferrably simple carbs and liquid like gatorade.  Liquid is best because it absorbs very quickly aiding in recovery much faster.  A great combination that tastes great is orange gatorade with some vanilla protein powder like Prograde Protein.  Use about 20-30 grams of gatorade with one scoop of the protein and shake it up.  It tastes like an orange creamcicle:).  Protein powders generally should be reasonable in calories, have little fat and very little carbohydrates with a short ingredient list.

Tomorrows workout is sure to test their will, be sure to check in to see how the MOOsers did.
