2 Brand New Fitness Boot Camps!

After weeks of planning and searching, two brand new Boot Camps are ready to go:


The Best 1 Hour Workout of Your Life is Coming to Riverdale and Central Park!

Get out of the gym, off the treadmill and head into the park for the Structure NYC Boot Camp workout! We leave the yelling, whistle blowing and the typical "no pain, no gain" of other boot camps behind. We have a much different approach to our fitness boot camp.

Our 8 week program is designed for you to lose the inches and increase your strength and stamina in the fastest, most efficient way possible. Each workout is designed with the individual in mind.

While other boot camps are standing in lines and circles performing the same exercises together as a group, we're running a circuit of 8 - 10 exercises. No more intimidation or competition. Individuals of all fitness levels can participate without feeling like they "can't keep up."

This style of exercise allows you to maximize the calories you burn both during and after each workout.

Exercise of the Week: Medicine Ball Wood Chop (w/ Squat)

The Medicine Ball Wood Chop (w/ Squat) is an awesome exercise that combines the hamstring and glute burning of a squat with the core flexibility and strength training of a wood chop. This can be done on the ground, on a balance disc or on one leg (for an obvious increase in difficulty).

Instructions:

1. Take a medicine ball of moderate heaviness and hold it with both hands. Raise the medicine ball above your head, keeping your elbows slightly bent. Take a stance with your feet shoulder width apart and your toes pointing forward.

2. Ease into a squat by bending at the knees and lowering your butt towards the ground. Keep your back straight and a slight inward curve in your lumbar spine.

3. Lower the medicine ball from overhead down towards your knees as you squat so that by the time your thighs are parallel to the ground your arms are all the way down. Hold the down squat position for a second and then stand back up as you raise the ball up and back overhead.
