It's like the basic training that every new soldier hates. These people love it so much that they pay for it. And that's the way it is: three mornings a week at Venice Beach when these exercise fans go through。military-style obstacle course with difficulty. These are middle-class citizens looking for the most painful drills, not army men fighting for the higher ranks. They arrive in expensive sports cars, not troop carriers. They are not preparing for battle but building up health.
It's a routine run by a tough soldier wearing a serious look. He and three other uniformed drill instructors shout orders. Two dozen men and women absolutely follow them. They struggle through sit-ups and a three-mile run down the beach before starting the obstacle course.
Participants pay US $75 a week to do; what millions of soldiers have experienced for nothing,but a down-and-dirty training that is far from fit-keeping exercises in fitness club.
Members do regular health club exercises, such as kick boxing, strength training and stretching. But the long-distance beach run and the obstacle course work up their sweat. That sets this routine different from traditional fitness exercises. Along with the wall-climbing and low-crawling, the course requires jumping over obstacles, rope climbing and pull-ups. Sweat pours down the face of the trainees and sand gets stuck to their hair as they climb over the obstacle wall. But all of them are happy when the daily training is over. They pay to sweat.
