Outer Banks Beach Bootcamp Fitness Training - Video Up!

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.
