This is it. The home stretch. Can you see the light at the end of the tunnel? We’re almost there!
Today marks the beginning of Week 13 of our 14 Week Summertime Slim-down Boot Camp.
Before you get started this week, I want to share some of my favorite Instagram posts that you all shared over the past 13 weeks.
[Glow in the dark yoga!]
Last week I was invited to the 2013 Reebok Women’s Lifestyle and Fitness event here in New York City. Reebok, fitness, fun exercise workshops… You know I didn’t have to think twice about what my RSVP would be.
Reebok supplied us with sneakers, tanks, bras, tees, and tights and I got to spend two days trying out all of their gear while mingling with some of the most passionate and inspiring group of fitness writers, athletes, and bloggers. We all had a blast participating in yoga, running, CrossFit, and dance workouts together. In other words, it was two full days of bliss.

I’ll start with the bad news first. And don’t worry, when I say “I’m taking a long vacation,” I don’t mean from blogging. I mean from running. Not because I want to, but because I have to.
Unfortunately I’ve sustained myself another nice little injury. Last year it was my left hamstring. Now it’s my right hip flexor. It could be a labral tear (let’s pray not!), or it could just be a groin strain. Either way, I need to rest. Probably for at least three weeks. (Kill me now!)
The pain in my right hip started just after I ran the Fitness Magazine Half-Marathon. Three days after the race I went out for an 11-mile run and unfortunately that was just too much, too soon. After that I rested for about a week until I felt OK again. But even though I felt OK on my first run back, there were still some small twinges of pain, a sign that I wasn’t fully recovered. Stubbornly (just like last time), I chose to ignore that, simply because I love to run, and now, as a result, I can’t. Oh the irony.

11 weeks down and 3 to go!
Today starts week 12 of the boot camp and I’m so proud of all of you for working hard and sticking with your workouts thus far.
Alright, Hungry Readers! It’s time to start week 11 of our Summertime Slim-down Boot Camp!
As I mentioned last week, there are no new workouts from this point forward. For the next four weeks we’re going to be switching it up and adding some pzazz by picking from any of the previous week’s workouts anytime a Hungry Runner Workout is scheduled on the calendar.
Week 10. Let’s do this!
I say this in the video, but this week don’t forget to go through four rounds of the workout in order to complete the whole thing.
This is our last new boot camp workout. Below you can find our May Workout Calendar, and you will see that after we finish week 10, anytime a “Hungry Runner Workout” is scheduled you’ll choose from any of the previous weeks workouts. Which workouts you choose to do is totally up to you, so you can pick your favorites and really have fun with the last four weeks. My only real rule is that you don’t repeat the same one for the entirety of the four weeks. I suggest picking a different one at least every week, if not more frequently.
Wednesday is the 1st of May, so it’s crunch time now! Keep checking in on Instagram, Tumblr, and Twitter using the hashtag #HungryRunnerBootCamp so I can keep up with your progress.
Stay motivated and keep up the good work!
Last month, I tried AntiGravity yoga at Studio Anya with The Holding Space for the very first time. To start off easy, I took a “restorative” class, which had a calm and relaxed vibe.
Last week, I went back to studio Anya for my second shot at Antigravity Yoga , this time to give the Flying Fitness class a try. My reaction to round 2? How fun! Again, I got to swing around and hang upside own in the hammocks, not being able to help feeling like a little kid on a swing set.
It’s Monday! It’s a new week and that means we’ve got a new workout on our Boot Camp calendar. We’re up to week 9 (say what?!) and your workout is right above. So click play and get to it!
You did it! You’re halfway there. Week 7 is over and now we’re midway through our 14-week boot camp. Way to go! (Virtual high five!) If you’ve made it this far, there’s nothing that can stop you now.
Here we go! This is our Week 7 workout.
Can you all believe it?! At the end of this week we’ll be HALFWAY through our 14-week boot camp. Seven weeks went by fast, and I’m sure the next seven will go by even quicker. That means summer is so, so close! Everyone cheer with me…WOOHOO!
OK, we’re done cheering now. Because it’s time to workout! Complete this video three times through any time the Week 7 Workout is scheduled on our April Workout Calendar, which you can find below.
