By setting a specific goal you allow yourself to focus on training and drives motivation to exercise. Goals make it a lot easier to make it to the finish line.
Deciding to compete in an event like the Sun Run really challenges you to get in shape. The first step is to register. Once you commit to the event, you know the date and, importantly, the amount of time you have to train until your competition. This can be a key motivator in terms of establishing and sticking to your defined fitness regimen.
As such, I have listed several series of athletic events, which serve as milestone challenges for Bootcamp members and non-members alike, who are seeking to set and achieve their fitness goals.
- Snowshoeing - March 8th
- Rock Climbing - TBA beginning of April (possibly the 5th)
- 10k Sun Run - April 19th
- BMO Half Marathon - May 3rd
- Battle of the Bootcamps - TBA sometime in May or June
In April we've schedule a rock climbing event at Cliff Hangers in Coquitlam. Most likely we will be holding this on the first Sunday of April. I will know more by the end of January.
Some of the Benefits of rock climbing:
- Muscular endurance – you may be on that wall or rock face for a while
- Power – the occasional leap may be required
- Strength – in particularly in your back, shoulders, abs, arms and fingers
- Flexibility – you may find yourself in some interesting positions on your climb that require some stretching
