Results from Harvest Circuit Ottawa Boot Camp

September 21, 2012 12:30 pm / Posted in ,

Yet another sunny, but this time, cool day to enjoy an action-packed Ottawa boot camp I call the Harvest Circuit. This consisted of gourd 100 meter relays, pumpkin pressing, gourd exchanging, and my personal favourite, the corn toss. Best of all, all the proceeds went to the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa.

To start the harvest circuit we all gathered around the wonderful YSB logo created by the very talented Maria. I was really impressed by the flexibility of all the participates so I threw some advanced mobility exercise into the warm up.

After the warm up, participants lined up to run through the harvest circuit filled with agility cones, ladders, hurdles, pumpkins, and park benches. If this wasn’t enough for the 3 rounds of this circuit I decided to add some more festivities into the mix by adding a gourd toss at the end.

Now that everyone was clearly warmed up we had some fun playing one of my new favourite game, the CORN TOSS. Those of you who are not familiar with the corn toss please allow me to explain. Corn toss consists of two lines of people tossing two pieces of corn at each other at the same time. Then two participants run through the corn while trying to avoid being hit. When they are at the end everyone hits up a lateral shuffle to have the next two run in to the corn toss again- FUN!

Out of breath and stomachs hurting from laughing, we then had the lovely Gloria Cleland lead the cool down.

This was to most enjoyable YSB boot camp yet thanks to the following participants who made this possible:

The Youth Services Bureau helps teens regain their confidence by providing shelter, education and employment opportunities. They also help teens who are in crisis. My mission for the YSB is not just to raise money but also to create positive awareness and educate people by having fun through my boot camps.
