BECKY'S BODY WEIGHT CHALLENGE!


Greetings!!!

In honor of the New Year, New Resolutions, and a New You - I am posting one of my favorite Boot Camp workouts!! It is a body weight challenge- no weights needed- and it can be done inside or outside!!! NO GYM NEEDED!! I suggest- a 5 minute warm up and stretch- and then a steady state cardio blast- for about 15-20 minutes.....running, walking, biking......whatever you chose- then - prepare yourself for a challenge! The first go round is easy- as the reps get higher the challenge becomes greater!!! Have FUN!!!

Holiday Break Boot Camp Workout Part 1


Hi All!!!!

So it is that time of year......where we take a hiatus from Boot Camp- and spend time with the family....friends and loved ones- to celebrate the New Year.....it should be a time of reflection- on what you have accomplished in the past year, and what you want to do in the upcoming year........

In looking back- don't be too hard on yourself- acknowledge your accomplishments- no matter how big or small- and look forward to the New Year with a huge bright smile and a feeling of endless possibilities for things to come. I always tell my cleints- look at fitness, health and well being as a constant life change......there will never be a day when you should feel your fitness and wellness goals have been accomplished- you must always be on the road to achieveing new goals- or else boredom will set in- and you know what happens then......

What are you going to do in the New Year? An adventure race? A triatholon? Eat Clean 85% of the time......no more red meat? There must be something out there you want...and if it is simply to live and be healthier- then outline how you will accomplish that goal and go for it full force!!! BUT be realistic - so you don't set yourself up for failure! If you have a tough goal you want to accomplish- do it in BABY STEPS.....Little by little......over time.....

Good Luck- and remember- I am here if you want to talk!!!

THE VIRTUAL BOOT CAMP IS HERE!

Greetings!!!

On Saturday June 14, The Queens Adventure Boot Camp participated in an amazing event! We ran the High Trek Adventure Race and raised over $3300 for the New York Special Olympics!!! What a blast we had! The Adventure Boot Camp team placed #51 out of 75 teams!!! Keep in mind- the delay was in our lack of trivia knowledge and Manhattan geography! But we finished in just over three hours and had a blast!!! Fellow Boot Camper Randi Grossack- saved the day with her wisdom and drive!!! Thank you Randi!!! Without her- I am afraid I would still be at the starting gate!!! LOL We had a blast! Thank you to all that sponsored us and made this day great! It is wonderful to get fit, have fun and give back to the community!!!
