Blurring the Line Between Workout Time and Playtime.. WARNING: If you’ve had it with the gym, are dying of boredom from long, slow cardio workouts, if your eyes roll into the back of your head when your workouts call for “3 sets of 15 reps at 2-1-2 speed”, if fat loss is a goal but, dang it, you just want to enjoy working out, read this letter before you do even one more workout…

Fitness really CAN be fun!

Imagine a day when your workouts seem like playtime; when you look forward to your actual workout, not just to having your workout over with for the day. Imagine a day when fat loss is a non-issue… because you’ve already lost it and it’s not going to come back. Imagine a day when you never worry about what size clothing to buy or whether your skinny jeans will fit.

You’ve done every conceivable type of workout – everything from cardio machines to fitness classes to personal training – belonged to any number of gyms, own one too many unused pieces of home-gym equipment, not to mention tried countless diets, but you just can’t find something that works that you actually enjoy because, let’s face it, all that stuff is pretty monotonous and boring.

Hi, I am Caroline Fitzgerald, and I run an outdoor fitness boot camp in Maine, year round, that is filled with people who used to be just where you are now… wanting to be in shape, but bored silly with their options. Many of them had abandoned their workouts altogether because they just couldn’t do it anymore. They couldn’t stand schlepping to the gym to workout with sweaty strangers, under harsh lights, breathing stale air, doing mind-numbing cardio workouts and boring weight lifting routines, so they just gave in and stopped working out. Others were still working out but they really dreaded it. It was: “I have to go workout” rather than “I want to go workout.”

Then they heard about the workouts at my outdoor fitness boot camp. They came because they were looking for something new, something that would excite them, something they could look forward to! While they may not have been able to say exactly what was the matter, they knew in their hearts that fitness could be enjoyable, fitness could be fun; they had just spent so much time with the same old same old, they had lost any vision of what fun fitness could be.

I was there too once, burned out on gym workouts and more than a little bored with my solitary runs…. I kept running but it wasn’t as physically or emotionally fulfilling anymore and I knew I was seriously lacking in the strength department.

REALITY: Uninspired workouts lead to uninspired exercisers, and uninspired exercisers are most likely going to stop working out......
