We’ve all got our own quirky taste and texture preferences, even for simple protein shakes. Here are a few techniques you may find useful in preparing your next protein shake.
PROBLEM:
If your protein shake is:
Too Thin:
Try adding a few ice cubes, frozen fruit, or a tablespoon of sugar-free instant pudding mix to thicken it.
Too Thick:
Some protein mixes have guar gum or other artificial thickeners in them. Instead of throwing them out, you can make shakes using only half the packet, mixing in a regular whey protein to cover the protein gap.

I just have to say that this week has been a great week for many campers with Epic Boot Camp. It has also been a great month and I can’t believe another boot camp session has come to an end. Yes I know today is/was test day and most campers hate running the mile. But nothing makes the trainers happier than to see everyone out there giving it their best! Nothing makes me happier than seeing campers shed off an inch here or 2:00 minutes off of their mile time. What an accomplishment!!! Today my campers really gave it their best effort when running the mile, during push ups, the plank, burpees, and sit ups. All of my campers improved on their times and that made me feel great because I am able to help them reach their fitness goals. Even with the measurements we saw a lot of campers lose inches! Such great results! This morning really made me excited for the day after seeing the results from all the hard work my campers put in this past month!
To all of our campers in Pittsburgh and Philly…the trainers are dedicated to you! They aren’t your typical gym trainer where they barely pay attention to you or don’t even know that much about you. They are dedicated staff that will respond to emails and focus on the campers at boot camp, and be excited when you see results. We want to see every single person that comes to our camps succeed. It is this day that reminds us why we do what we do. So cheers to all of you for all your hard work and dedication to better health, your families, to us, and most importantly, yourself!
The thing about working out on a Wednesday and then not working out again till Tuesday is that it stinks. Now you know I tried really hard to fit in long walks with the kids, and doing what I could to stay active, but no workout compares to the boot camp workout. Throw in a bachelorette party and staying out to 3 am on Saturday and you get the picture. So getting back into the swing of things on Tuesday was rough!
Jacob started the week out by basically telling us week 3 means no mercy, shorter breaks, longer reps, and we better keep up. So you can pretty much imagine that Tuesdays workout just about killed me. By Wednesday, I honestly thought I wouldn’t make it through- it was so cold, so dark, I could barely breathe. Thursday was more of the same. Those damn burpees!! WHY do you do this to yourself Joy (I know this is what you are thinking!) The thing is- no matter how hard it is, or how tired, or sore, or cold you are, you are doing for YOU.
We are excited to start new boot camp classes in Philadelphia on October 19 and October 26 in Pittsburgh. Visit Epic Boot Camp has been voted a top 5 fitness company in the Philadelphia area! Register today!

I have gotten a couple of emails with a general concern that some of you have not lost a significant amount of weight yet and feel that you should have. I do not want any of you to get discouraged as this is pretty normal for several reasons:
1) Typically, your body takes about 4 weeks to adjust to any changes. Whether it be dietary changes, exercise routine changes or even a medication protocol. This is why most things are prescribed in 4 week increments. Ever get a prescription from the doctor? What is the usual time frame he prescribes you to take that medication? 4 weeks. Right? If you obtain an injury and it requires physical therapy what is the usual prescription? 3 times a week for 4 weeks? Right? Well the same goes for diet and exercise. Your body will take approximately 4 weeks to adjust to any changes in these components as well. Just be patient in that regards.
