You already know, no need to be told, going to the gym each day sure gets old.

So resolve to go AWOL from the gym this year and take your marching orders from one of these outdoor boot camp classes around the island. 

Camp Bennett
These evening beach workouts with Amy Bennett, a former Marine drill sergeant and one of Oahu ’s top triathletes, will help you finally stick to your guns when it comes to exercising. Each workout is a mix of running, calisthenics and some custom training moves she developed to improve her own racing performance.

Held at Kaneohe Marine Corps Base and Kailua Beach Park . For more information, call 478.3694 or e-mail campbennett@mac.com
