ATA Fit Camp

On Saturday, August 29th, 2009, we hosted two fitness camps at the Academy. The camp for adults was from 9:00 am until 11:00 am. The kids camp was from 11:00 am until 12:30 pm. At each camp we talked about making better choices with nutrition and exercise.

Both camps started with a warm up, followed by target drills using elbow and knee strikes. Each group also took the ATA Physical Fitness Test, a 5-round maximum rep routine. In round 1 participants do pushups. In round 2, sit ups. Round 3 consists of kicks on the heavy bag. Round 4 is combinations. Round 5 is punches. Each round is 1 minute long with 1 minute rest between rounds. The goal of each participant is to "score" over 300 repetitions through the 5 rounds.

In addition to the ATA Fit Test, the participants in the adult session also completed a Warrior XFit workout to finish out their 2-hour camp. Warrior XFit is an online fitness program that features a different workout each day of the month. Each of the 6 exercises in a daily workout are performed in 20-second, high-intensity bursts, followed by a 10-second recovery. Participants complete (6) 20 seconds bursts of each exercise before moving on to the next exercise.

Everyone had a blast on Saturday. For more information on the ATA Fit Test or the Warrior XFit program, please call us at the Academy at 912-764-3844.
