Boot Camps Offer What Gyms Cannot

Monday, May 24th, 2010

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.

Spring into Healthy Foods

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

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:  

how much thought do you put into what you eat?

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.  

Time to make a healthy, permanent lifestyle change

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

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!

meal plan to help you lose fat

Friday, January 8th, 2010

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.
