When The Elf Trainer Hurt His Head

Ouch, my head is still bruised. In our final bootcamp of 2009 this morning, I decided to create a game using the big red boxes at our gymnastics club – they’re great, we jump over them, push them, wrestle with them and more.

I decided it would be fun to stand them all up tall and create ‘Chase The Elf’ with my little green hat stuck over my eats to amuse my bootcampers. After several hilarious games with screams from the girls as they caught each other (you can’t really see each other as they’re so tall, so it installs that sense of unknown), I decided to get involved.

In a split second before ending the session I decided to go to knee height – Alison, our new bootcamper (who has been doing great coming to pretty much every session since she started, well done you), ran directly into my head. As a result, the following photos show the evidence.

The message of this post! Erm, exericse is can be hilarious, but sometimes you can get a few bumps and bruises, you just have to get up and carry on. Needless to say, I had a lovely email from one of the bootcampers after this morning’s session which I thought i’d share to give everyone some motivation to find a bootcamp or something close to you that offers the same enjoyment as New Body Bootcamp here in Exeter.
