The Gleaner’s Fit 4 Life Season 2 Tuff Enuff Challenge got off to an exciting start on Saturday, as participants were determined to prove if they were tuff enuff.
Launched at the Life Fit Training Centre, Red Hills Road in St Andrew, week one of the 12-week season featured a gruelling boot camp.
Fitness trainers Marvin Gordon and LeVaughn Flynn took participants through the circuit of battle rope, tyre flip, sled push, box jump, sledge hammer swing, lung & twist with sandbag, abs on the plyo ball, squat jump with dead lift bar, and farmer’s walk.
Yet it still wasn’t over, as those who were left standing had to dig deep and really prove who was tuff enuff in the three challenges – battle rope, tyre flip and push up.
In the end, the winners were: Jomo Hamilton in the push up challenge; Rainford Wint (male) and Latara Boodie (female) in the battle rope; and Ahon Gray (male) and Alesa Pryce (female) in tyre flip challenge.
“Wow, this was tough, but I loved it,” Annett Jones declared, lying on the ground at the end of the early morning session. She promised to come out to as many Saturday morning events as possible.
Sponsor Chas E Ramson was a lifesaver, with power shakes to revitalise everyone, made with their products Foska Oats and Blue Diamond Almond Milk.
Week two of Fit 4 Life Tuff Enuff takes place on Saturday, June 30, at Calabar High School with the TrainFit Club.
Everyone is invited to come out to each of the 12-week boot camps, free of cost, as The Gleaner’s Fit 4 Life team journeys with Jamaica to a healthy, fitter life.
