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!!!
