The KnuckleUp Team Of Winners!

This past Saturday, before the fights started, a group of good-looking KnuckleUp students headed over to the Wright Memorial bridge to participate in the celebration of the 9th Annual Kitty Hawk Heritage Day festival.

The main event, a 5K race, was a walk in the park for these beach bootcamp graduates, so they had plenty of time to shoot some pictures and even put some videos together for us.

We want to congratulate everybody for their efforts, and celebrate another win with you!

It's no surprise they did so well in the race - under Matt's military training they run well over 5k at least twice a week. Actually, it's more like 7 MILES twice a week.

A big thanks for Rev. Jay Bowman for putting this awesome video together:

Pushups in the ocean at 6am

So this sleep lover decided to wake up early last Thursday to see what the buzz surrounding Matt's beach bootcamp was all about. Quite honestly, I hadn't been awake at 5am in a while, but what I saw that morning blew me away.

It's 5:34am and the gym's parking lot is full. Inside, a concentrated morning silence coming from the group of 20+ bootcamp trainees that stretch in preparation to the training.

At 5:45, Matt starts the warm up with 80 sit-ups in under 2 minutes - that sets the tone to the rest of the training. Matt is decided to get the best out of each and every student, no matter what their fitness level might be.

After the warm up, students grab their backpacks, take a military-like formation and head to the kitty hawk beach running. From here on now, they will cover a total of 7 miles, divided by a series of stops for strength training exercises such as push-ups & sit-ups,  along with sprint runs.

On my flip-flops,  there wasnt much of a chance to catch up with the group, but I was able to put together a video that highlights the scenery and the seriousness of the training.

Even though the video doesnt make any justice to Matt's well-designed series of exercises, you can see the level of commitment that his students share. 5 weeks from that Thursday, they'll experience complete body reconfiguration, improved cardio conditioning, and greater health.

But to me, the best part about the training was the scenery: the cool Outer Banks morning breeze, the chilling waters, the misty fog... Of course, I may have missed all of that had I signed up for the training. Well, maybe next time.
