Unusual Exercise #4 Sweeping leaves with Foot, great workout for inner thighs (Adductors) & butt (Gluteus) muscles, works adductor & Gluteus muscles.
While at Boot Camp this morning, the covered area was full of leaves so as a new type of exercise, I had my clients performing a diagonal scissor type movement by keeping the left leg behind and moving the right foot across the front of the left foot and alternating sweeping with the right and left foot. (I hope this makes sense).

An awesome workout for the butt & inner thighs, make sure that you keep your hips underneath your shoulders when performing this unusual exercise.

While waiting for the morning bootcamp to start, I noticed this peculiar site of a workman on the roof of the International House located in Edinburgh Gardens.

Unusual Exercise #11 Finding car in massive car park, next time you cannot find your car, start at one end, jogging isle by aisle

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

A great unusual exercise, trying to find your car in a massive carpark. Think about the distance that you can travel when getting back to your car or when you cannot find your car, having to walk or preferable run isle by isle.

The work out can be improved by carrying shopping in either hand, ideally a shopping bag in either hand, remembering not to internally rotate the shoulders and feeling the weight of the bags around your shoulder blades.

Remember no cheating by using your phone camera to determine your location before you leave the car or a GPS unit. The best results will be gained by keeping it a total mystery.
