Blondies BootCamp! Train with me!!

Helloooo my lovely readers! I trust you had a magical weekend and are getting ready for the week ahead?

If you follow my Instagram you would have seen last week I started a fun little online bootcamp, little work outs from me to you! Originally I started writing out these workout’s for my friend Shayne who was struggling to find his motivation in the gym… I was reluctant at first.. a) I’m not fully qualified yet b) could I create a workout for a guy that would push him to his limits? Apparently I pulled it off. After completing workout number one, he called me and asked if I was after his life! Success!! So I then decided to release workout 1 to everyone on my Instagram and the response was phenomenal – so many DM’s complimenting my work and thanking me for releasing a mini programme to give them idea’s and structure their programmes without charging a penny! It made me feel good, alas we have Blondies Bootcamp! I plan to release 5 workout’s a week. You can follow my Instagram and get them daily (week days) or you can check in here once a week where I will have uploaded the workouts from the week before!

So Blondies Bootcamp – Week 1 – Here goes!
