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:))

Funny Fitness story today at at Boot camp, Michael had the group doing as many sit ups as they can perform in 1 minute, the goal was to see who could do the most.

This was the last exercise of the day so everyone was exhausted. Phil had just got the 20 second mark when he got up immediately and started walking away from the group.

Upon seeing a fitmate avoiding the exercise by walking away, Michael asked Phil to get back down and getting back down he did. As soon as his name was called, he bent down and started dry reaching.
This lead to Michael feeling awkward and he turned my attention back to the group

P.S This is a fairly uncommon event, that is dry reaching at our boot camps so don’t be scared:))

Funny Fitness story: Instructing a fitmate to get back down for more push ups, as I called his name, Phil bent down and started dry reaching

Well at boot camp this morning, I was embarrassed when I was talking about how I was up at 2am with my stomach bubbling like an old school Italian stove top percolator after eating 2 week old brown rice for lunch.

I must plead ignorance hear as my clients quickly informed me that rice grows bacteria very quickly, especially if the rice isn’t cooled immediately after cooking. So the maximum consumption time is within 48 hours, ideally within 24 hours.

Well this got a big belly laugh from the morning fitness crew. This is one of many funny fitness storys that will keep being brought up at our morning bootcamp sessions
