 Weatherproof workout gear
Beantown Bootcamp’s John Wayman’s go-to sports store? “City Sports has everything needed to make sure you are outfitted with the right gear for all season workouts. How to self-motivate
• Try different things: Don’t limit yourself to one type of exercise. BORING! Workout in the morning: Notice when you go into the gym in the early morning you see the same faces. People that workout in the morning are much more likely to stay consistent over the long run Rock 'em, sock 'em workout
Here’s Beantown Bootcamp’s John Wayman’s secret turbo workout, no gym required: sample 30 minute outdoor workout (If you really hate the cold you can do most of this stuff inside your home or the gym) Best gym?
That would be no gym. “Quit your gym membership!” says Beantown Bootcamp owner John Wayman. “Workout outside all year long and beat Seasonal Depression. Because we live in New England we suffer worse from seasonal depression in the winter compared with folks from down South and out West and even with the winter months approaching there are ways to get outdoors and enjoy a great workout with minimal equipment and money spent. With the right gear and proper warm up you will forget how cold it is within 5 minutes.” |
Sergeant Sweat
It’s not your everyday sight: a grown man jogging-no, sprinting-behind a stroller, in which rests not a child but a boom box, blasting and pulsing, surrounded by kettle bells, towels and bottles of water. The man is screaming. He is leading a line of mostly women complying to his every wish and command. "Twelve sets of jumping jacks!" he barks. "Hit the ground for push-ups." It's a workout freak show. But this man, John Wayman, is no ordinary man. He’s a cult leader, alpha dog, commander-in-chief. You get the point. When he says “30 squat thrusts,” you squat and thrust.. If you don’t, he might yell at you, or maybe even throw you out of class. He doesn’t call his roving gym Beantown Bootcamp for nothing. Wayman, a Malden native, always loved oozing buckets of sweat. Soccer, football, baseball—he was on the field for all of them. He majored in physical therapy at North Shore Community College and still heads up a practice. But six times a week you can spot him running down Hanover Street, along the Esplanade and through the Financial District with a string of executives, firefighters, attorneys and stay-at-home mothers behind him (winters, they’re indoors at Basketball City). Not too much in common among them, except a zest for feeling good and fit—which, despite the occasional verbal venom (it’s all in good fun, says John), is the main mission. Move fast and hard through life, John says, you’ll be stronger for it…which for Sergeant Sweat here is the only way to run. |
