Instructors shuffle exercises between cardio and muscle building, and participants foster camaraderie not found in gyms.

When the New Year’s resolution calls for getting in shape fast, joining a gym and pushing yourself hard every day probably won’t happen. What will work? Having someone scream, “Drop and give me 20!”
Fitness boot camps may be one of the fastest ways to go from zero to fit. The setup is simple enough: A trainer leads a group of clients through an intense hour of cardio and functional-strength training. The secret lies in the circuit-style workout that toggles between cardio and muscle building. This leaves little if any down time, and the shuffling of routines prevents boredom and exercise ruts. For people willing to put in the work, boot camps enable exercisers to see results quickly, the better to stay motivated.

More strength is more muscle. More muscle is more calories burned, meaning a lower body fat. Strength training will make you build muscle and lose fat. But nutrition is also important.
Strength & Energy. You need energy – calories from food – for weight lifting and for daily activities.
Muscle Mass. Protein is necessary to build muscle & for muscle recovery. Nutrition can also minimize muscle breakdown.
Body Fat. Fat is emergency storage. Your body holds on to fat when you don’t eat enough calories or don’t eat enough fat.
Health. Testosterone levels, hydration, vitamins, minerals, fiber, … Your nutritional choices reflect your health.
The next 10 nutrition rules will take care of the above…

If you want to get into great shape then you’ll be interested to know that 80% of your fitness results are attributed to your diet.
In our fast-paced society, eating is often done with little or no thought as to what exactly it is being ingested. Excess body fat is a direct outcome of this hurried, poor nutrition. Even if you have the best intentions with your diet, you are likely frustrated and fed up with extra pounds.

Hey campers, future campers, past campers, friends, family…It is now 14 days into the new year of 2010. Everyone talks about new years resolutions and making changes, eating healthier, getting fit, etc, etc. I hear it every year from friends and family. Most of them fail, some last 6 months. For me it is different. It has now become my lifestyle. Something I do everyday because I know the long term effects are great. Every day I get out and exercise I feel better mentally, physically, and emotionally. Not only do I look better in the mirror everyday, but my body feels refreshed. I recently went to the chiropractor and told him that my back has been hurting. He took a picture of my back and I was shocked how out of wack it was. Once I started going back to the gym again when my schedule slowed down, I went back to the chiropractor and got another picture of my back taken. He and I were both a little surprised just how well my back has straightened up without going to the chiropractor and just exercising. Well rugby season is starting up again soon, so there goes my back. 
The point is, it is time to make a healthy, permanent change to your lifestyle. Stop saying you are going to go to exercise and eat right, and actually do it!

Don’t you hate it when you find your hand in the cookie jar…for the fourth time in one night? Or when you open a bag of chips (crips)/pretzels/cookie dough, and the next thing you know, its all gone?
Binge eating sucks. But what drives us to do that? And how we can stop it?
Disclaimer: Now let me get the legal beagle mumbo jumbo out of the way…I’m not a doctor, and if you have a serious eating problem you should talk to a trained health professional…there’s probably even a medical definition of binge eater that I don’t know about…
…so for our purposes, we’ll refer to binge eating as anything that involves eating too much junk and making you feel guilty.
…And if you are just one of those folks who goes 37 days in a row without binge eating and then – POW – it shows up and kicks you in the butt…leaving you feeling guilty, frustrated, and upset, then let’s help you out.
Personally, there is no better common-sense tip for avoiding binge eating than…
