You’ve seen Survivor on TV?  You’ve seen Fear Factor and the MTV Challenges?  But you’ve never seen the CORE Boot Camp fitness scavenger hunt.  BOOM!  Here is the low down:  Two teams of 6 players competed against each other to gather the most fitness equipment.  The team with the most fitness equipment/poundage won the competition.  The playing field was a (just under) a half mile around playground.  Kettle bells, dumb bells, water bags, battling ropes and medicine balls were scattered all over this field.  The object was for each team to collect the most equipment in pounds.  There were a couple of stipulations:

1.  Each team had to travel as one unit.  Meaning, the team couldn’t separate and gather multiple pieces of equipment at once, they had to travel together without leaving each other’s sides.

2.  Each team could only collect one item at a time.

So, after 30 minutes of running between 100-300 yards out and back, it became the survival of the fittest.  A test of endurance.

Here are the team’s respective piles of equipment they had assembled after about 45 minutes of action.

Here we have a team working very nicely together to score some very good points by picking a 40 lb water bag and returning it to their pile.  Nice score team! 

More good team work as this team decides to carry a 70lb sled, as opposed to dragging or pushing like it is intended to be.
 

As we have seen, team work was a big theme of the day for our competitors.  Here the ladies do a nice job bringing a battling rope in from about 300 yards out.

Lastly, we see the competition taking it’s toll.  This is one of the last runs in and you can see fatigue setting in. 

We do one event like this each month between the months of April and November.  An event that is outside of the normal exercise class format that really challenges people physically while providing a fun atmosphere.

It’s all good clean fitness fun!
