Very funny fitness story at boot camp this morning, while the fitmates were doing squats while holding the medicine ball, we had a four legged friend, actually a Jack Russell waiting patiently for one of the Fimates to throw the medicine ball.

It was quite funny how this tiny dog was prepared to fetch the medicine ball which was about half it’s size. Even a Jack Russell has the determination and belief that anything is possible, even retrieving a massive tennis ball, that is in the eyes of the dog.
It’s Murphy’s Law that the only time I didn’t have my camera, there was this great photo opportunity:((

Quite often we have fear controlling what we do, we say it can’t be done, too hard, will fail but for this Jack Russell there was no such thing as failure, just have a go.

Last night had a Funny Fitness story about a Fitmate who had lost a substantial amount of weight over the past 12 months. Like most of us who have a resistance to donating old clothes that needed retiring, our Fitmate had a secret stash of original 80′s clothes.

Well after 20 odd years it was time to clear the wardrobe including numerous pairs of white coloured pants (very sexy). Just out of curiosity our fitmate decided to try them on. Well to their surprise the pants fitted perfectly, something that wasn’t possible over 12 months ago.

So while white coloured pants haven’t made a comeback yet, it’s great to see that modifying your diet together with high intensity bootcamp training can reunite you with your old clothes.

One important thing that people in general should be aware of with regards to the size of your waist is the increased risk of cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Funny Fitness Story this morning from our Melbourne Boot Camp when we were using our evasion belts. As this drill can get quite competitive, a Fitmate not wanting to be left behind made the funny comment that the evasion belt broke from his arm waving past the side of his body and breaking the connection, this was contrary to the other possibility that he couldn’t keep up with the other Fitmate. (Sorry DS)

Just to make sure there was a level playing field, I repeated the drill 4 times to avoid any disappointment.

FYI an evasion belt is a waist band with a tail that connects with your partner using velcro. The object is to break the velcro connection from your partner.

Received a great email why Phil missed Boot Camp last week “I forgot to email you – I put a dynabolt through my foot last week, and haven’t been able to walk properly, so we’ve been no shows cos of that”

I think we have a clear leader for out yearly funniest comment award.

Shoes and feet seem to feature prominently when it comes to reasons why Fitmates were unable to attend Boot Camp.

Funny Fitness story this morning at bootcamp, Chris & Kate went cycling on Valentines Day to the local hills, on the way back Kate’s bicycle chain malfunctioned and she was forced to pull over into a nearby driveway.

Unfortunately her front wheel got stuck in the gutter and over the handle bars she went sustaining considerable side impact damage to the hip & shoulder region. The resulting accident produced an extremely bruised hip with a colourful array of the typical bruising colours, deep purples and reds. Chris’s immediate response was, “That is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen”..following it up the next day with “I think it has gotten worse”. A true romantic at heart:))
