"Dit is nou evidence van commitment of 5:30 in die oggend rond te hol (en dit sukkel maar). Die lekker is om die sateliete te kan sien, die voels te kan hoor, die visse te sien spring in die lagoon, die son te sien loer en Dan begin mens se dag lekker!"

BOOTCAMP   I remember when a friend mentioned it to me. Many thoughts ran through my head, but I replied "Yea, I want to do that".
Many asked why especially since I prefer the early morning session.

I have been a dedicated sports person my entire life. I have played rugby for an odd 28 years. After that I was involved with Martial Arts, more specifically Kick Boxing and Ying Yang Do Close Combat. I did athletics in school, and also started seeing the inside of a gym more often than the inside of my house.

I did the October 2009 Walvis Bay Bootcamp with Anna-Mart Kruger and 20 other hardy souls. Most of us were huffing ‘n puffing at the start, but this improved as we got into the swing of things. Especially the shuttle runs were great fun, and the camaraderie and jokes motivated us to get up early in the mornings.

I get my fix at the crack of dawn. Three times a week, sweating and squating (among other things!) with the girls (and a few guys!). Not only do I get to discover previously unknown and disadvantaged muscles, but also build rock-hard friendships with my fellow boot camp mates attempting a proper 'burpie' at 20 to six in the morning! It's tough, it's fun(ny), it's a addictive... I got it ALL this morning!

I joined boot camp because I had to do something to change my life and thighs.  I don’t like the gym idea, so I thought that I would give boot camp a go.

After hearing only good things about it and how sore people were after their sessions, I thought that it must just work.  I have not done much on the physical side since leaving school so I was a bit apprehensive to say the least.

To be perfectly honest,

the idea of boot camp was intimidating.

My initial goal was four weeks, before a December holiday.

I argued, I can get my head around doing boot camp for four weeks and reap the benefits in the holiday.

That was then, now I am totally hooked.

It took me many years to finally admit that going to a gym is not for me – firstly, I have a full time job , a baby daughter and a household to help my husband take care of. I found it very difficult to commit to a gym going routine and I’d come up with all kinds of excuses to skip a workout. I’d often hear a colleague of mine rave about “BOOTCAMP” and it sounded great . A couple of weeks later I received the e-mail invite to join the next bootcamp. Now, to the average eye I do not look overweight but after my pregnancy I felt increasingly unhappy with my body and the shape I was in.
