Cinderblocks -- the new gadget?

Check out the photos in this article about a local boot camp. Yikes!

Well, we already have ropes, tires, and sledgehammers, so why not cinder blocks?

You might as well just pick up anything heavy in your house and run around the block with it.

This is so ridiculous. Why don't these idiots take the air conditioners out of their windows and run thru tires with them.

And if they are so eager for millitary type workouts why don't they go to the millitary to serve their country and get them instead of playing a role.
They'll get all the boot camp they want and more.

Well, the participants are just looking for something different to do and this obviously fits the bill for them. Personally, this looks fun but then again, this is coming from a person who is eying a tractor tire for her yard just so it can be flipped and then pounded with a sledgehammer.

Now I want to find myself a cinderblock. LOL

Ditto that. Hubby uses the sledge hammer every other day as a part of his workout. He also wants a tractor tire for the back yard. Also on his want list are sand bags.

I call it functional fitness for men. I'm not discrminating against women, I'd play with the tire but I draw the line at the sledge hammer!
