 BOOT CAMP (THE NEW YOGA) Yoga may be good for you but it's not quite tough enough for some fitness junkies. ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP is the biggest fitness trend to hit the parks, beaches and reserves of Sydney, complete with pack marches, obstacle courses and serious discipline, meted out by ex-soldiers turned fitness instructors. It may not feel particularly Zen, but after attending some early morning sessions you will lose a lot of fat and seriously increase muscularand cardio-vascular endurance.
According to the founder of the military based fitness regime, 'Chief' Brabon "The industry was moving towards gentle exercise programs that promote health and wellbeing rather than specific goal-orientated training," he adds that "we decided in the complete opposite direction, focussing on pushing people to achieve their personal goals."

The Best Unexpected Man-Fest 
There's no better way to bond than while you're working your butt off. The ORIGINAL BOOTCAMP is a four-week military-style program that involves intense physical training, army drills and even obstacle courses. Flirting at 6 am may be tough, but at least you'll see him at his most humble and sober. Everyone wears the same t-shirt, so you can be sure he likes you for you, and not just your cleavage. |

MILITARY MADNESS  "Come on, pick it up - and make sure you breathe!" calls the Lead Instructor known simply as Chief. A group of over fifty, mostly 20 and 30-somethings are lying on their stomachs, faces contorted with exhaustion and suppressed laughter, dragging themselves along the sand of beautiful Coogee Beach. Chief, with his shaved head and camouflage shorts, pauses for a moment, nods slowly and with arms folded, squints into the breaking daylight, then counts: "Fifteen seconds to go, move it. Go, go, go..... 3, 2, 1. Steady!" |
