Bootcamp 'til Xmas!

Alright,

The Bootcamps have been in full swing, and are just starting to get a lot of momentum down at St.Josephs Church Hall on Boothferry Road. The Monday Ladies 9.30am class has had a 2-week break, and is back on! The time is now!

In the Ladies Monday night Bootcamp, there are some serious strength results coming, in the way of upper body pushing strength! All 4 Ladies present managed to push press a massive 22kg...........5 times! There is also talk of full push ups on the horizon......these Ladies are making a difference right now. If you are a lady, would you like to be able to do a full push up?

The dates for Bootcamps up until Xmas are as follows:

Hull Bootcamp goes Mobile!

Last night we rocked the Mens Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp, as it went seriously mobile!

It went down in the Humber Bridge car park, right outside Mrs. B's Cafe

The boys showed Stu what it feels like to go on Holiday and then hit it hard with some Bootcamp Conditioning! ( I know what that feels like).

Some 80-yard sled drags came out and there were some jelly legs out there! We were getting some funny looks from the joggers - but hey, if you could exercise slow and long for like 10 hours a week, or tear it up for 45-50 mins a few times a week - which would you choose? Not to mention the strength and fat loss benefits of resistance training involved in Bootcamp.

Monday Morning Ladies Bootcamp
Yesterday Morning, the first of many Ladies Monday morning Bootcamps went down at the St.Josephs church hall, and the newbies I think were surprised at how much work you can get done without 'cardio' or super light weights done like a zillion times. That reminds me.........look out for the limitations of Bodypump article coming soon ;)

Roll on next week for part 2 same place same time!

The evening Bootcamps on Mon the 26th will be back in St.Josephs church hall - Mens at 6pm. Womens at 7pm. Be sure to bring a friend.....50% off their first Bootcamp!

Il hear from you soon...............email me here or call on 07762772671

Hull Bootcamps (before my Holiday!)

The past 2 weeks of the Mens and Ladies Bootcamps have been great fun, some proper hard work going on.

It often surprises me how little muscle work women do, with respect to weights as the type of exercise done - when it is this precious muscle tissue that keeps our metabolism sky-high.

Anyways ( I digress!)........

I go away on Holiday to Portugal soon, so I am announcing the following Bootcamp dates:

Ladies Tone Up Body Bootcamp dates:
Wednesday 16th September 6pm
Wednesday 23rd September 6pm

Mens Strength And Conditioning Bootcamp dates:
Thursday 17th September 6pm
Saturday 19th September 8am
Thursday 24th September 6pm

A fiver to take part - £2.50 if it's your first go. Come on in and try it! You have to Book on to take part so email me here. Also, feel free to email me any questions at all!

Unfortunately the Friday morning class is to be cancelled for the time being, due to other work commitments.

John

PS If you want to read about fat loss, nutrition and health, get access to member-only articles over at www.johncammish.co.uk right now - as I will not be able to grant you access while I am away.

Ladies Outdoor Bootcamp in Hull?

With the Mens Outdoor Bootcamp in Hull becoming the talk of the town, I have had a few requests for a Ladies Outdoor Bootcamp! Just like the men's this bootcamp will use resistance as the style of work as opposed to straight-up long............. boring........... cardio.



This translates to more muscle tone and more fat burned in the long term!



The benefits of this type of training can be read about in the FREE ARTICLES section on my website, http://www.johncammish.co.uk/. All you need is an email address!



Do you want to look leaner and have more muscle tone and less body fat?



Do you know any other lady friends like you that would be interested in these benefits?

Here are some pics of past bootcamps here

and here!

I'm sure you do, and this is not an opportunity to miss out on.

On Wednesday September 2nd, 6pm and Friday September 4th at 9.30am TWO TRIAL LADIES BOOTCAMPs will take place on pickering park fields. The usual price of £5 will be slashed by 50% to only £2.50 - giving you the opportunity to positively change your lifestyle for less!



September 2nd 6pm, and September 4th, 9.30am. Get them on your calendar, and email me to book on. Places are limited to only 12 ladies so book on now.





If you're not sure if this is for you, or have any questions about it whatsoever, please do email me and I will be happy to go through what exercises we will do etc.

Hear from you soon,

John

Mental Toughness

Thursday night's Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp in Hull was one of the best yet. P*ssing rain, a load of mud and a beastly amount of effort went down. I was impressed with the good turnout as the weather puts some wimps off - These guys have mental toughness.

While Nick's £15 Diadora's were the focal point of the session (!), they proved invaluable as he and the others pulled in bodyweight 80 yard sled pulls in under 40 seconds. Stu and James were new to the Bootcamp and were not used to deadlifting from the floor - as in PROPER DEADLIFTS!

If you prefer the 1st photo, chances are you're not on the strong side.

On the sled relay, 16 yr-old Ben made the mistake of wearing white and inevitably got grafted! Another young'un (also called Ben) had given everything on the circuit but still got up to pull in the bodyweight sled - they both did it in good times. I really wish I could ve had this Bootcamp available when I was younger. I'd have got stronger a lot quicker than I had been doing.

Watch out for the next post because there are pictures of some of the action that goes down.

Feel free to comment on this post or email me to ask questions, or book on for your Bootcamp Experience.

Bootcamp life in Hull - be prepared!

I delivered a Bootcamp in hull and Personal Training presentation this morning. I only had 10 minutes to state what I do and why I do it, whilst at the same time partly educate why I advocate certain methods of physcial training and exercise. Most of it was directed at losing weight and preserving muscle tone - mainly what people want! Sounds simple but getting important information across in 10 mins is harder than you think! The attendees were business associates, also part of the BNI Wilberforce Chapter.

I went on to describe my experiences that weights are a lot more effective for fat loss in the long term than your regular cardiovascular exercises, basically stating the fat-burning zone is a myth.

The Caveman analogy came out (which all of my clients will know about!) and it got me thinking about 'how' people train.....and I don't simply mean what they do......more the 'style' and 'mindset' they do it in. For example do they give it 100% or 60%? That kind of 'How.'

In Last weeks Bootcamp, a man came in and gave it 100%. He gave it his all. How do I know? Because he was sick afterwards. He made it to the end. Im proud of his effort.

It is this kind of attitude that makes you a stronger individual. The feeling that you have either been beaten, or close - and that you will be stronger the next time. It's the kind of feeling you do not get sitting on a freshly cleaned leg extension machine, taking as much rest as you can while you check out lady Gaga's bod on the gym TV's.


This experience got me thinking about life in general, and got me thinking the question; What would happen if something really bad happened and we had to fight for our lives? What if a disease epidemic actually came and could kill off the weakest of us? What if you were attacked in the street and had to fight for your life? How hard would you run? How hard would you fight? Would you stand a chance of surviving?

Hard Bootcamps like the Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp in Hull prepare you for life. They make you adapt to intensities you rarely reach in your fancy gym.

Think you are strong? Maybe you are. Maybe you can bench press 1.2 x bodyweight, squat 1.5 x bodyweight and/or deadlift 2 x bodyweight.

Think you are fit? Maybe you are. Maybe you can do a sub-45min 10k, or row a sub-20min 5000metres.

But can you pull your bodyweight on a sled over 80 yards of grass in less than a minute?
This is a different workout altogether. Strength meets power and some anerobic work capacity.

The Saturday Bootcamp boys did this - some pulling a cool 100k sled in 30-50 secs. One guy even went for 15kg over his bodyweight!

This week we might have to up it to 100yards :) .

Do you fancy the challenge? If so email me here, or call/text me on 07762772671 to confirm your place.

Time to step up and prepare for life.

Saturday's Hull Bootcamp

Afternoon Everyone,

Early Saturday morning, the John Cammish Bootcamp lads got a wee bit of a shock. I rolled up with a new keg . . . . which weighed a bit more than the last! They soon got the hang of it though - check these pictures out.




These simple training tools could teach you a thing or two if you think weights can't get you fit


I introduced some dumbell rows which went down pretty well. This was probably due to the fact you could rest a bit more!



Make no mistake - That's a 30kg Dumbell Carl is haulin'. I personally don't even think he'd try that in the gym if there was some 70's disco music putting him off. None of that crap outside!

Last but not least: Here is a picture of Darren showing the sled whos's boss.




These are a lot harder than they look. Anyone who tells you that pulling this sled backwards a few times is easy is a liar!


This weeks Bootcamps are as usual:

Thursday Night (9th) 6pm;
Saturday Morning (11th) 8am;


Do not pass up this opportunity to see what it's like to train hard, and achieve more than you have done already. Luck favours the brave, and winners take chances. Losers sit and do nothing.

So what's it gonna be?

Book on or ask a question via the Contact page

'Simple Equipment' (Hull outdoor Bootcamp)

If you know me well, you know I favour bodyweight exercises over long drawn-out cardio any day of the week, and that's in terms of preference and results for fitness and fat loss.

Yesterday, I mentioned that I've been able to do a few bodyweight exercises on holiday, and focus on some direct arm work to work around my recovering lower back.

Beside our hotel, there was a children's playground that had various bars and steps:





Anyhow, besides not getting much exercise done as the pool was closer :) - I was reminded about how simple this 'equipment' was, and how effective it can be when you train properly.

It is these types of exercise that are incorporated in the Strength and Conditioning Bootcamps - Pull up variations, dips, push ups etc. And these serve 3 main purposes -
1) To maintain or increase muscle mass;
and
2) Burn fat through high intensity exercise
and
3) Increase our fitness by getting our heart rate going.

We need to remember that gimmicky machines that are often useless, (bear mind cables are not machines) and that bodyweight training and strength training has lasted for years and years.



So if you're a guy reading this and want to get stronger, leaner, and fitter - drop me a call, email or text and try out a Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp.

You'll be glad you did.

Hull's New Thursday Night Bootcamp

Hey Guys,

Had a good relaxing week in sunny Majorca - It was about as hot as it is back here in sweaty Hull :)

I'm hearing lot's of good things about the last bootcamp, how fun it is and how hard it feels, even though you are not constantly working at a 'moderate level' - like in a pansy aerobic class!

If you've been reading you'll know I hurt my back (doing a Bodypump class no less) and have been unable to train properly since. Well - good news. The back is feeling a lot better, and whilst it's still not 100% - I'm able to train a bit of arms and some bodyweight stuff........Can't wait to start deadlifting heavy weights again though :)

Anyhow, here's to this weeks bootcamps! A new Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp starts tomorrow night at 6pm. Same place - Picky park. Hopefully we'll have a few newcomers to prove their worth coz they can't make Saturday early Bootcamp! Be there!

Peace out!

Hull Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp

A big thank you to all those who took part in the Hardcore Strength and Conditioning Bootcamps this weekend. The lads again proved that weather is no match for pure determination. There was lots of power going on amidst windy conditions.

The Ladies stepped up afterwards, proving they too can ramp up some energy when it's needed. Many calories will have been shot out the window with their sled drags, keg carrying and deadlifts.

Heres to this coming saturday;

Mens Bootcamp at 8am;
Womens Bootcamp at 9am;

Both Bootcamp sessions are £5, or £2.50 if it's your first session.

Contact me if you want to take part

Hull Bootcamp

A big thanks to the guys who attended the Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp on Saturday 30th. The lads gave it some real effort, showed their strengths, worked on their weaknesses, and motivated the rest to do the same. It was good fun, if not a little hot! (At 12 noon the temperature must have been 22-24 degrees.... Thats commitment!)

Here is Adrian giving the sled a testing in soaking conditions the other day!



A repeat Bootcamp is going ahead same place but different time. This coming Saturday (6th June), the Mens Bootcamp will run at 8am.

Many Women have been interested in a womens circuit, so a Womens Bootcamp will run at 9am.

Email me at fitness@johncammish.co.uk or ring me on 07762772671 to book on. See you there!

Weight loss cardio conditioning in Hull

Adrian gets his first taste of the sled......in soaking conditions!




Fat loss has come to Hull in the form of future Bootcamps, Yeah! Watch this space.....

Mens Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp Information

Guys,

Have you ever been on the recline bikes while listening to the new girls aloud album?

Have you ever worn lycra shorts, and danced in an aerobics class to some funky R’n’B?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of the above – this Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp is not for you!



Guys,

Do you get frustrated when your gym does not have the right equipment you need to get strong?

Do you get annoyed when you realise you’ve left your Ipod at home, and you will have to endure the likes of Elton John, Lady Gaga, and Usher to fuel your energy driven training sessions?!!!

Would you like to get strong while you get leaner and fitter?

If you answered ‘yes’ to these 3 questions – chances are, you will love the Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp!

In this Bootcamp, you will perform important natural movements that will make you stronger and fitter than ever before. Movements like Deadlifts, Pull ups (or alternatives), lunge variations, presses and sled drags and much more! These movements are so simple but when done right, they can sky rocket your strength and work capacity levels!

2 Simple Tools that will make you think about your fitness

This is not your typical ‘army style’ session where you perform endless push ups and crunches until someone says ‘stop!’

Reps are kept to optimum strength parameters. So if you are struggling, you will get stronger over time. Already, some guys are saying they can tell the difference in their strength and fitness - after only 3 weeks!

Bootcamp lasts 55 mins and has some 3-5 minute breaks included. Why the rest? So you can put out more power. This is not a girly aerobics class that stays in the 'fat burning zone' (which by the way is a TOTAL MYTH!) for an hour non-stop. You work your a** off.......... then you rest. Anyone who doesn't need rest is not working hard enough.

Here is a video that will let you decide if The Strength and Conditioning Bootcamp is for you....

Pickering Park playing fields, between Fiveways roundabout and Hessle High Road Police Station. We'll be near the basket ball court. At the moment, Bootcamps run on a Saturday morning at 8am.

What's that? Too early for ya?

If you' re not man enough to get out of bed early then don't even think about training in one of these Strength Bootcamps.

Indoor Bootcamps are running at St.Josephs Church Hall (Fiveways roundabout) on Monday nights. . . . .

Check here for the latest Bootcamp dates and times

Now, do you want to lift some heavy stuff, or you want to sit on a shiny, girly, machine?

Bootcamps will run whatever the weather. If it's cold or wet, wear what you have to wear. There is no such thing as bad weather – Just inappropriate clothing!
