So May is upon us and that means a slight change to our timetable. Wednesday evening Metafit sessions will now be outdoors down at Stokes Bay at 6:30pm starting tomorrow (2nd May). Meeting point is at Gilkicker car park off Lifeboat Lane and then we head over to the grass for our 30 minute workout. We will be there rain or shine. If the weather is particularly bad then there may be an alternative workout offered instead.

Another change is that newsletters are now going to be sent out monthly instead of weekly. This will enable me to provide more engaging and hopefully interesting content with a new layout containing exercise ideas, healthy recipes, member spotlight and what's been happening over the past month at Bodyblast bootcamp. As some of you are not on Facebook and rely on the weekly newsletters for class timetable updates then any important changes will be sent out as a short email so that you don't miss out.

There are two bank holidays this month so there will be no classes on Monday 7th May and Monday 28th May. You are of course welcome to attend an alternative session that week either Metafit or Fareham bootcamp.

At some point before 25th May you will be asked to re-opt in to receiving emails so if you don't want to miss out on a monthly newsletter which will have all this great content or important updates then make sure you resubscribe otherwise we will have to remove you from the list due to the new data protection law that is coming into force. Remember you will still be able to unsubscribe at any time.

For various reasons there has only been one team event so far this year. Below is a proposed list for the rest of the year so have a look through and get signed up to whatever appeals. Remember these are there to help challenge you whilst getting the support from your fellow bootcampers so pick something that will take you out of that comfort zone.

Event list as follows:

The Aldingbourne Walk Saturday 12th May
8, 20 or 26 miles through Arundel Park and Estate. Sounds like you get to see some stunning scenery whilst taking on an undulating trail. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-aldingbourne-walk-saturd…
Or if you want a run I highly recommend Bognor Prom 10K, Lovely course, great atmosphere and great PB potential. Sunday 20th May. I would do it myself for the third year running if I wasn't away.

Gosport Golden Mile and 5K Sunday 17th June.
I know this is a regular bootcamp event so lets get as many of you involved this year as possible. It's on Father's Day so why not make it a family event as kids can enter too!

Gung Ho Southampton Saturday 21st July
If you don't like the idea of muddy and wet obstacle course races then this one could be for you. A 5K race with inflatable obstacles. Finishers receive a t-shirt and headband. If we do the early wave 9:00-10:00 then if it's a hot day we will benefit and it will be less busy for parking etc. Groupon currently have this on offer for £24 instead of £30 but be quick as it may not be on there for long.

Miss Fit and Fabulous Saturday 6th October - see the Miss Fit and Fab Facebook page for details on how to enter.
Great South Run Sunday 21st October 10 mile run around Southsea.

It will be a bit chilly for mud runs in November so how about Segway or Go Ape (same venue and about the same price for each) https://goape.co.uk/adventures/ Date TBC

Santa Fun Run - 1 mile, 5K and 10K usually has a nice bit of bling. December Date TBC
Hampshire XT - This event is where you compete to finish a number of exercises as quickly as possible ranging from rowing a set distance to completing a number of box steps. There are different entry levels of Novice, Intermediate and Advanced. Open to men and women December Date TBC.

Let me know your thoughts or what you are signing up for. Unfortunately I am unavailable for the weekends in May but am pretty much up for doing the other events. If you know of any other events that you think people would enjoy then feel free to email me karen@bodyblastbootcamp.co.uk

So that's all for this month. Your first monthly newsletter will appear on the first Monday of the month so next one will be 4th June. Don't forget to re opt in when the email comes round otherwise you will miss out. Until then you can still keep up to date with everything going on via our Facebook page and for those on a monthly subscription or for regular Metafit attendees you have access to the private members Facebook group.
Thanks for reading.
