The beginning of May is always the start of 5k, 10k, 1/2, and full marathons, and while we don’t hold classes specifically geared toward running, it’s always fun to test your cardio endurance and fitness by participating in a race. And if that doesn’t sound like fun, many road races raise funds for great causes!

LeanBody Bootcamps will be participating in at least one, possibly two official races this year: The Jesse James Road Race in Garretson, and the Pumpkin Festival Road Race in Edgerton (date TBD).

The Jesse James race is on June 22 at 8:00 a.m. and all bootcamp participants are invited (there will be no class in Edgerton that morning)!

For those who are not regular runners, and would like to train for this, I have created a 4-week program leading up to the race day. This program assumes that you’ve been doing one or more of the following: 3x+ per week bootcamp class, running semi-regularly, OR have included sprints as part of your cardio and strength training.

*This program is not for beginners. You must have been exercising at a high intensity, regularly, for at least 6 months or more. This program is not intended to treat or cure disease. You assume all risk for following this program and do not hold Carrannmor Fitness or its employees liable for any injury that may be caused by this program. Please see a physician prior to beginning any exercise program.

Carrie and Jody will be following the program to train for the road race, and you’re welcome to jump in!

The program:

(Also includes laps around a track. 1 lap=1/4 mile on most tracks.)

UPDATE: Just a few spots left in Edgerton and Garretson! Don’t wait to register! Deadline extended to September 4

After an amazing 500+ votes, the decision was made very clear! One person came out ahead of all the others for the best transformation.

First, though, I want to thank you for the time you took out of your day to participate: whether it was the wonderful comments that were left on the contestants’ entries, following along via Facebook or in class, or just voting- you made a difference! Thank you!

I hope you took time to read through the entries left by each contestant. They were all very inspiring, and I hope they helped you along in your journey as well!

AND NOW:

I want to give a big congratulations to…

Bobbi Jo F.!

Bobbi Jo’s amazing 26 pound weight loss, combined with her witty and fun essay, meant that she had a GREAT transformation.  She has had an amazing journey so far, and has been an inspiration to many.  Bootcamp was just one of the tools she used to get her great results- she was also willing to keep a disciplined eye on her nutrition, exercise up to two times a day in a smart, healthy manner, and learn that this is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix.  Congrats, Bobbi Jo!
