Earlier this week, I promised an martial arts training day with my Houston fitness bootcamp, and my class members were pretty excited we were doing it today. As you approach a long week of working for “The Man” or “Woman,” following a holiday weekend, things can get pretty stressful. It’s even more stressful playing a game of catch up, after a 4 day work week.
So, as you can imagine, my fitcampers were ready to kick a little….well….you know. I always love these type of workouts, because I love the look of empowerment on the faces of the ladies in my class, as well as watching the “Warrior Within” creeping from deep inside of all of my camp members, men and women.
So, here is our kick-butt workout from yesterday. If you cannot perform a full sprawl, perform squat thrusts instead. We had lots of fun during this workout, especially since one of my members, Lindsay, pretended to be a “Street Fighter” character throughout the workout. LOL…Priceless.
Keep some water nearby and prepare to sweat it out.

Sincere~
p.s. Don’t forget to eat a small snack, like Prograde Cravers or drink a small pre-workout shake, about 45 minutes before your workouts, to feel more energized and ready to go.
