One evening, Vanya called, asking me to try out a session with Master Bootcamp. I looked at their website, and was intrigued. I could always use a good kick on the butt (in a good sense, of course), and I never say no to a new variety in my workout regimen. As a home exerciser (I am not enrolled to any gym), I do my workout exclusively at home, and it does get boring sometimes. I was going toward the end of a 9-week fitness program called Insanity (more on that in another post). I felt rather burned out with Insanity in this particular week. It would be nice to work out outdoor, in the sun, breathing fresh air. I read that Master Bootcamp incorporates TRX. I have always been very curious about TRX – a suspension training developed by the Navy SEAL. But most TRX training is available in a gym, which I am not ready to commit yet. I jumped on the chance that Vanya offered to go along on a Saturday. Yeah, I was up for it!
What Is It?
A Master Bootcamp session is an hour-long circuit-training workout. It includes strength, cardio and agility conditioning routines, using a variety of equipments and method. Every session has a different theme, perfect for those loving variety and new challenge. One session’s theme may be on core work, the next one on upper body strength, and so on. Depending on theme of the day, the workout may include the following: TRX, medicine ball, jump rope, cones, agility ladder, rifle (no, not the gun), ab roller and/or kettleball. They also often incorporate the Tabata method. The 60-minute clock starts with warm up and ends with stretching
The workout is held at Lapangan ABC Basket Outdoor Senayan, with the entrance just across TVRI, every Saturday on most weeks. The session starts early at 6:00 AM.
