Because this article was so popular, I thought it deserved another posting for the Spring season.
After thinking about it, I came up with Six Reasons the Gym SUCKS:
1.) Everyone else is going to the gym. And they suck.
Did you ever notice that when you look around the gym, everybody is doing the same thing? Like so many sheep, mindlessly plodding away with the misinformation from fitness magazines. People just go to the gym and do whatever everybody else is doing.
Have you ever noticed that when you walk into the gym and you see the same women on the same treadmills, doing the same 4 mile run, that they STILL look the same as they did 5 months ago.

Eating right is more than half the battle to get into a new you. Again, remember that nutrition is 80% of obtaining the results you want. Exercising and coming to boot camp is only part of the battle. Eating right and staying hydrated will help get you to the results you want quicker. It is a lot easier to find those fresh veggies in the spring and summer months. Just look at your local farmer markets or stands on the side of the road. Of course always inspect your food before your purchase. Eating healthier will give you more energy and we all know we could use some more of that. Spring is also a great time to find those organic foods. Stay away from processed foods! Not only does fresh food taste better, it also has more nutrients for your body. Here are some healthy eating tips for the Spring:

I wanted to send out my recommeneded meal plan for all of you to see just how easy it is. Again, remember that nutrition is 80% of obtaining the results wanted. If you want great results you have to have a great diet, if you want good results you have to have a good diet and if you want average results then you can have an average diet. IF you follow the plan I am fully confident it is fail proof and you will make the changes you desire. So here it goes…..

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…

Losing fat is simple! All you have to do is stuff your face with fruits and vegetables and you’ll end up eating fewer calories overall and the fat will just melt off your body.
Of course, you’re an 8-year old child living in a grown-up’s body aren’t you?
And you’re going to tell me you don’t like fruits and vegetables.
Then you’ll probably “huff” and turn around, march out of the kitchen and go plop down in front of the TV to watch Scooby Doo without doing your homework, won’t you?
Well, time to grow up. “Not liking” fruits and vegetables is no excuse to not even try and improve your diet.
After all, I was a picky eater growing up, and over the years I’ve learned to like, even love, almost every vegetable I can find. In fact, here’s my daily fat loss diet including my complete fruit and vegetable intake.

I am sure you have seen the women spending hours at a time on ellipticals, bikes, and treadmills- sadly getting nowhere fast. Listen up ladies- you NEED to start doing some resistance training and cut those cardio sessions down to 20 minutes of intense interval training to get rid of the hip, thigh, and belly fat that is spilling out of your jeans.
And then there are also those wanna-be meathead guys trying to build their mirror muscles (abs, chest, biceps) with the Mr. Gargantuous (professional bodybuilder) routine and super supplement. “I switched my routine up from 4 sets of 10 to 5 sets of 8. Muscle confusion!”
Did you notice that you are exactly the same as you were a year ago? It ain’t the muscle that’s confused, son.
