Corvallis Fitness Adventures Seattle Big Climb training

Yee Hah! Only two weeks before our big adventure of The Big Climb in Seattle! Our training continues to go well and everyone is doing an exceptional job of working hard to get ready for this awesome event. Saturday’s hill run up Road 300 in the Dunn Forest was awesome and thanks to the whole team for showing up. It certainly was different than just running stairs and provided another awesome cross-training experience. Everyone has gotten incredibly strong and powered up all 1600 feet of vertical! Our special two week Mini Boot Camp has begun and we will use these workouts to continue to ready ourselves for the Big Climb as well as the overall fitness training of those that are not participating in Seattle. The weather is supposed to change this week so make certain that you stay warm, eat right, get lots of sleep, and continue to keep your body healthy. You don’t want to ring in spring with a cold or flu bug. We will continue to work our legs hard and load our workouts so that we not only continue to get stronger but will also increase our endurance. Lots of lunges, walking squats, interval training, and plenty of core work. If you would like to join us for a workout please feel free to send Shandra an email or give her a call at (541) 207-8526.

Corvallis Fitness Adventures Stair Mania

The Big Climb is getting closer and the Corvallis Fitness Adventures “Dare to Stair” Team is working hard for the event. We had a fantastic workout up on Dimple Hill this past Saturday and then started the week off with another dandy at the Corvallis High School track this morning. The legs were burning and this will serve us well when we are climbing the Columbia Center in three short weeks. We continue to hit the stairs in Reser Stadium and the OSU parking garage at least twice each week and we are really concentrating on our handrail techniques and double stepping. Even if you are not on our Big Climb team you are certainly welcome to join us for a workout. Drop-In’s are always a great way to get started with Fitness Boot Camp Workouts and we would love to have you stop on by. Our meeting locations are on this site and you can send Shandra an email for more information. Come on out and join us for a fantastic low impact fitness exercise!

Corvallis Fitness Adventures Big Stair Climb Team fund raising

Wow! What a great week of Fitness Boot Camps! We got in our workouts at the Corvallis High School track, the hills of 29th street, downtown Corvallis waterfront, Oregon State University parking garage stairs, and the stairs of Reser Stadium. We really got the quads burning this week and everyone did a terrific job. Our interval training of sprints, loaded leg exercises, stairs, hill repeats, and dumbbell/resistance band training gave us more than complete all body training over the past five days. Great job everyone!

I am so proud of our Big Climb team members for their fund raising efforts with a month left before the big event. We have more than doubled our fund raising goal which is just phenomenal. What a great feeling to be raising money for such a worthy cause while getting fit, strong, and healthy!

Corvallis Fitness Adventures Big Climb Weekend Stair Workout

Wow! What a gorgeous weekend here in the Willamette Valley! Corvallis has seen some fabulous weather for the past week and it has been just terrific for our Fitness Boot Camp workouts. Many of our February Boot Campers are on our Big Climb Team for next months Leukemia/Lymphoma fundraiser in Seattle. We have been incorporating a lot of stair climbing into this Boot Camp as not only training for our team members but also so all Boot Camp participants gain the benefits from this low impact workout. In addition to our five weekly Boot Camp workouts we have also been adding a special “volunteer” stair climbing workout on the weekends. Yesterday a hearty group of us hit the stairs at Reser Stadium on the Oregon State University campus. The weather was spectacular at 8:00 am and we took full advantage of the conditions. We continue to use different rail techniques when available, two stepping as much as possible on the ascents, and varying our patterns as we descend the stairs to lessen the load. We estimated around 2400 stairs yesterday morning and everyone did a fantastic job at working hard and maximizing their efforts. Way to go team! If you would like to join our Big Climb Team or just drop in for a workout please send Shandra an email or give her a call at (541) 207-8526. A great big thank you to all our team members for their fund raising efforts! The Corvallis Fitness Adventures Big Climb Team has already exceeded our fund raising goal by nearly double! Keep up the good work and keep those dollars rolling in for Leukemia and Lymphoma research.
