Bootcamp

Aussie Slang word of the day is...


Have a yarn: To have a chat with someone

In novemeber, with summer just around the corner and having spent the entire winter in a classroom and/or sitting at the computer for Uni, Anouck and I decided it was time to get in shape. Initally we had planned to join a boot camp, or join a gym to do group work out sessions (spinning, aeorobics, boxing etc), but after looking at the hefty prices we decided instead of forking out all that cash, why not do it ourselves. Thus marked the beginning of Anouck and Lisa's bootcamp.Bootcamp takes place every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at 4:20 at Kings Park and consists of running up Jacobs ladder (explained below), sprinting up hill street, and doing various strength building exercises (weight lifting, lundges, crunches, squats etc.).

For those of you who don't know what Jacobs ladder is, it is 242 steep concrete steps that take you from the bottom of the CBD up to the top of kings park. It is a popular site for ambitious work-out gurus, and also (so i'm told) the #1 pick up place in Perth. So whether you are seeking a hot date or need to break a sweat this is the hot place to be. Just thought I would post some pics of Jacobs ladder so you can share the pain with me.

Goooo bootcamp!
