Even Naomi Watts Sent is experiencing Boot Camp for her upcoming movie Fair Games with Sean Penn.

The film centers on Naomi’s character Valerie Plame, a CIA agent who is outed during the Bush Administration’s handling of the weapons of mass destruction.

The role involved Naomi having to undergo strenuous physical training with a CIA Boot camp over 2 days.

Like our Boot camp parody, Doug Liman the director of Fair game commented “OK, get your ass into boot camp and toughen up, lady’.”
It was particularly interesting that Naomi was also breastfeeding while having to learn how to repack a weapon.

We had some fun on the weekend with shooting our new Boot camp parody video.

A big thank you to all the fitmates who kindly donate their time on Saturday morning.
One big thing to remember is that Fitstyler does NOT employ any of these sorts of training techniques at our Boot camps, nor do our instructors sit in chairs while eating cake, coffee and reading girly magazines. Michael is extremely fit with great core strength which is necessary when undertaking any crazy activities such as tyre dragging or carrying.

Remember when undertaking any form of group exercise to ensure that you have an instructor who is familiar with correct human movement and posture. It’s quite easy to sustain damage when performing an exercise incorrectly or using equipment to increase the level of difficulty.

it’s important when performing any exercise to ensure you have good stabilisation through the core to ensure that you are not damaging your back, especially the lower back that compensates for poor core strength. Take a track athlete for example, when they are running the trunk remains perfectly still while the limbs are in full movement, similarly you upper body should not be rocking from side to side, or forwards or backwards when performing a lunge.

Well another night of clear skies and no rain at Bootcamp training. very impressive considering that it poured cats and dogs earlier.

With the humidity at high levels and a cooler 13º, it wasn’t long before everyone was back to T-Shirts from the warmer jackets.

It was only exactly one week ago that a massive storm swept through Melbourne with lighten, strong winds and hail but miraculously it missed our Bootcamp.

Spectacular fireworks in the sky, while the storm was well south, the lightening was clearly visible. Unfortunately massive storms and Boot camp don’t mix so we canceled the session.

Well done to those brave souls who made it to the start of the session, with the storm brewing it was a little safer to retreat to the comforts of our homes. I trust everyone went home and did a solid hour of exercise in lieu of the canceled Boot camp:)).

We are very fortunate with our North Fitzroy Boot camp at Edinburgh Gardens as it rarely rains during our sessions. Last night was another example of how this nasty storm swept through Melbourne’s southern suburbs but missed our area. (although we desperately need the rain for the gardens).

The storm kept heading south east and left a nice clear patch in the inner northern suburbs.

Our weather in Melbourne is stating to resemble the warm humid temperatures that they get up Northern Australia, so Melbourne is becoming the new Brisbane.

While taking the photo’s for our Fitstylers page, I had Michael perform 30 jumps in a row. An unusual exercise that I have named Fitstyler jumps.

This highly explosive plyometric exercise is great for an all over body workout with it’s shorts burst of high intensity energy required to perform successfully.

Essentially jumping continuously for 3 -5 minutes is guaranteed to to quickly fatigue the quads and glutes.
