Cardio Mike's 1st Boot Camp in Wichita

Monday was the first day of Cardio Mike's 1st Boot Camp in Wichita at the West Central Genesis location.
Boot Camp started with everyone getting signed in and issued official Boot Camp shirts and weighted vests.
Everyone receives two T-shirts, one green camo and the other brown camo. Participants are to suit up according to how they're instructed and if even one person is out of suit everyone will suffer the consequences.
The class was filled to capacity and everyone was eager to get started.First order of business was find out where everyone was at physically. Cardio Mike took half of group to the track to time them running the mile...
...some appeared to already do this regularly.
The other half were tested on how many sit ups and push ups they could accomplish in a set amount of time. Then the groups switched out till all had completed both.
They were then instructed to put on their vests and grab a chair on the way back into the room. They look like they think they're going to be attending a class...
NOT! The last thing these chairs are for is sitting. They're for running around...
...and leaning on, and swinging your leg over and a number of other uses.
Cardio Mike worked them hard for about a half hour...
...and they all seemed to still be in great spirits at the end, though some a little more ragged than others.
And that was the first day of the 5 week Boot Camp...
MORE TO COME!

Okay, I need a rest and a big glass of ice water after looking at those pictures.

HI, Alice! I thought it was funny when everyone set their chairs down and then plopped themselves down on them. But I've seen a couple of these Boot Camps and knew they wouldn't be sitting long. : )

Looks great!
I'd probably not make it through the first day... lol
(If I tried to run I'd probably get two black eyes, if you know what I'm talking about...lol)

I'm afraid it's a bit to intense for me, too. I just run the camera and camcorder, I'm not required to run. : )
