SignatureMT | 99 SPRING into a fun BOOTCAMP Get F it Text by Becky Acra | Photography by Jim Wells W hen it comes to fitness and working out or starting a new sport that's exactly what you need. We might not know your name now, but after one visit to Cheers! Fitness, you will feel like instant family. When starting a new work out routine sometimes a small class environment is just what you need. From building relation- ships to enhancing competitive instincts, a bootcamp workout is often the key for an individual to jumpstart their fitness goals. Bootcamp offers a total body overhaul in a more intimate setting than traditional weight rooms and gyms. Below are a few exam- ples of some exercises you might experience at Cheers! fitness boot camp. *Warning: Being a part of Cheers! Fitness may cause confidence to rise, muscles to grow, clothes to fit, children to flip, and families to smile. "Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name!" TRICEP DIP Find a position that ads comfortable resistance. Begin with your elbows close together and arms straight. Making sure your shoul- ders and hips stay in line, slowly lower yourself down to a bent arm position. Keeping your core tight, push through your triceps and bring yourself back to starting position. To modify the exercise step one foot forward and follow the same range of motion. Begin with 3 sets of 6-8 and work your way up to 10-12 reps. STANDING BICEP CURL Find a position that ads comfortable resistance. Keeping your core tight (moving plank shoulders hips and knees in line) curl your arms squeezing the contraction at the top. Do not let your back arch as you curl up. If at anytime the resistance becomes to much walk your feet back so you are not pulling as much body weight. Start with 8-10 reps and work your way up to three sets of 12-15 reps.
