The Velvet Hammer Strikes With Treats

It was Friday. This was going to be the day for the "Amazing Race" and it's my favorite activity with Adventure BootCamp by far! But the rain was pouring so hard outside, that we had to take it inside. Amazing Race would have to wait for another day. However, that decision didn't effect the awesome workout we had.

Brian was gone on business, and in his place was Kim, one of his premier trainers. And yes, folks, she was premier! She had a little different flavor than Brian, but all the same, it was smackin' tasty. She was all hard core, with a smile and a twinkle in her eye. :) She seemed to have a little ribbon of mischief in her too! :)

We did a great assortment of exercises that worked our legs, back, arms, abs, and some cardio to kick it up. Running against the wall is always a fabulous one, but I enjoyed the medley of exercises as well, as we filed into teams. I was working at full endurance, and nearly maxed out. Kim is the type of trainer that you want to work your best. You know she's got it! The lady is like a velvet hammer; Soft and pretty, but hard like a rock! :) It was great fun to have Kim onboard for our Friday workout. :)

But the best part was the leg work. I always know when I come out of Adventure Bootcamp because my booty is talkin' to me! (lol) We did a variety of squats and lunges and the entire program was very meaty.

Yet, nothing could have surprised me more than when this slender, fit trainer ended the workout with what she called "treats"!

Treats! We've heard that before! :) Do you suppose they might feed us chocolate this time? I mean, it is Halloween month. ;)

So, what have you got for me Kim? Show me what you got? We already had the honor of partaking in Brian's sweet treats from a previous workout! (lol) Hey, they couldn't be any tougher, than his "plankers"! :)

Heehee, I was gulping when she rattled off the treat list; A tsunami of squats that included 20 seconds each of regular squats, speed squats, pulse squats, and jump squats.(or squat sit)

About this time I was blabbering to myself. Kim demonstrated for us and made it look "oh so easy". What a little powerhouse. It was fun to watch her, especially doing the jump squat. A select few of the campers attempted to do these jump squats, but were abandoned early on by some of the best of us.

We campers struggled, grunted, and laughed, and 60 minutes later I knew I had experienced a phenomenal workout. Of course I had to ask Kim: "Were those Brian's treats?" Just wondering if he left us with something to remember him by, as I was chuckling to myself.

Kim replied, "No....those are mine."

Oh my God! I had the best laugh. If there was anything I can say about Friday's treats, it's that Kim is one tough little cookie! And an awesome delight at that. :)

Thank you for leading us in a superior workout, Kim. :) I hope we can have you again!
