 OutDoor Fitness Games

One of our Sure Victory Bootcamp Kit owners, Scott York, has come up with an awesome

resource for Fitness Bootcamp trainers. ..Fitness Games.

As you know, it's easy to go stale with the same old push ups, sit ups, deck of cards
and running drills.If the instructor is bored with the same drills, chances are your boot campers are
bored as well.
That means they may go elsewhere when the time comes to sign up for the next session!
That is NOT what we want.
Try these two new games out with your boot camp or fitness class and see what happens!
Always make sure to warm up first!

AMOEBA TAG
Two people are "it".
They hold hands and chase the other participants.
The person that they catch then joins the chain by linking hands.
When another person is caught they can stay together or
split 2 and 2 but they must split into even numbers and can link together at will.
This game is played until no one is left.
The last two become "it" for the next game.

CAPTURE THE CONE!
There are two equal teams.
Team 1 has one side of the playing field and Team 2 has the other side.
Divide the playing field in half with cones.
Keep the entire playing field to around 200 yards. 
Use 4 cones in a rectangle to mark off the boundary lines. 
By keeping the playing field to 200 yards or less, this will ensure that people don't wander off too far looking for or hiding the cone.
The teams are given a time period, 1 minute, to hide their cone in their part of the field. 
They can hide the cone behind a tree, up on a lower tree limb, behind a bench, or any type of stationary object.
*Optional - During this period 1 or 2 spies from each team can be sent out to see where the cone is hidden as well as 1 or 2 look-outs from the opposing team to catch the spies.  If the spies travel out over their side of the field they can be tagged by the look-outs and they must go to "jail" and perform nonstop jumping jacks.

"Jail" is a predetermined area off to the side of the playing field.
When the instructor calls "1 minute" you simply try to get the other team's cone and return it to your side of the field. If you get tagged by the opponent on their territory you have to
go to jail and do jumping jacks nonstop until the game is over.
The first team to capture the cone and bring it back to his or her side wins.  In this version you have to capture the cone, and bring it back safely to your side of the field.
This game is a totally different game at night or early morning!

Sure Victory testimonials:

Georgette,Hello!  Just an update from me in California to let you know about my very successful 1st Bootcamp which is currently in week 4 and I am starting another camp next week!  I love the Sure Victory Boot Camp product I got from you a few months ago.  It’s like the ultimate Boot Camp Bible…I’ve got it printed in color and bound, and I whip it out frequently as a resource (I have it printed twice so it’s handy).  The audios are great too.  I have a huge library of must-have MP3 files like yours that continue to provide insight and inspiration when I’m out and about.  I highly recommend the Sure Victory product to anyone brand new or anyone who thinks they have enough know-how already, they surely need Sure Victory!!

Thanks for keeping me informed with your monthly Fitness Bootcamp Strategies Newsletter, too.
