A Little Healthy Competition

As a part of yesterday's 2B FIT camp I discovered a way to get A LOT more work out of someone without me having to do a thing. In yesterday's morning fitness camp I decided to toss in a little circuit relay race to spice the workout up a bit and make things kind of fun. I knew people would have fun, I knew people would work, but man I saw some competitiveness and some diligence out of some people I never even guessed was there! Being a former athlete, I know that adding a little competition to things always makes the time go by faster and the work feel less like work. Here's what my little 2B FIT relay looked like:

15 Kettle Bell Swings
6 Power Press Passes down the basketball court with a Med Ball
Sprint to the end of the court, touch the line and sprint back to the starting line...
10 TRX High Rows
Tag your next teammate and go
Repeat for 3 sets...Winner goes home sweating and happy!

The relay was fun! People were getting after it, pushing themselves and cheering their teammates on. It was fun to watch people get motivated and find something else to work for rather than showing up and going through the motions. If you're in the Santa Clarita area, I encourage you to come out and try one of the morning workouts because they have been a blast thus far and I've received a lot of great feedback on the variation in the routines. If you can't make it out, try adding a little healthy competition to your weekly schedule by signing up for a recreational sports league or finding pick up games of soccer, basketball, volleyball, raquet ball or tennis somewhere nearby. If you're not the gaming type, workout with a friend so you guys can push each other a little bit! Without getting too crazy, a little competition can go a long way!
