Sanders Optimum Boot Camp (Day 8)
Alright y'all. I felt GOOD today. I mean I felt ON this morning at 5:30 am. Perhaps it was the 7 hours of sleep. Maybe it was water I drank beforehand. Most likely it was the dinner I ate the night before. Whatever it was I was ready. Now I am not saying I was pleased with the 1 mile jog warm up under 7.5 minutes! Or saying I was ...
Sanders Optimum Boot Camp (Day 7)
It wasn't a good day y'all. I mean the workout was good. Monte did what he was supposed to do but the morning started off rocky. For one, I did not get a good night's sleep after going to bed after 11 pm because someone next to me was sawing logs. I mean it woke me up in the middle of the night to the point I had to sleep with the pillow ...

FFFC Challenge #14: 7-8 Hours of Sleep a Night
This can't be stressed enough, our muscles grow while we sleep. All of the hard work performed to tear, lift and go heavy really goes to work as our bodies rest and rejuvenate. That happens when we sleep. short-changing your necessary hours of quiet rest is doing a disservice to you, your body and frame of mind. Sleep is not for the ...
Sanders Optimum Boot Camp (Day 6)
I feel good! Made it through the second of four weeks of this boot camp! I will admit, I felt much better today than I did yesterday. Today I arrived and had a chance to stretch before he put us to work. We warmed up with a mile jog he wanted us to complete UNDER 9 minutes. Then he had us do 100 jumping jacks.
After that warm ...

Today I did it ya'll! I survived my FIRST day of bootcamp with Monte Sanders. His program is the Sanders Optimum Fitness bootcamp and it is no joke.

Can You Hang Workout
What had happened was. Last week I was sick and recuperating so no workout at all. Do you think my trainer cared? Heck NO! She just added MORE weight? Is she bananas?

Can You Hack It Workout
I walked into the gym to workout with Heather Thursday that blew my mind. She immediately had me work on what I consider the WEAKEST part of my body. But you never know how strong you really are until pushed. She actually went up on weight the entire workout and I hung in there. Barely - but I made it to the end. I also ...

Monte Sanders Optimum Total Body Boot Camp
Who has participated in a fitness boot camp? I have never done it and am quite intrigued by the idea. As many of you know I work out with a trainer 2 times a week and have been doing so well over 14 months. Every now and again I feel like I need and/or want an additional challenge. Not saying my workouts are challenging - but I like to ...

Our workouts start at 5:30 am! UGH I have to get up earlier.

With all of that said - 30 grueling minutes later is normally met with my sweaty face, exhausted pant and ...

The following is what I have learned from years of trying to accomplish my own fitness goals.
I know a lot of out of shape people who wish they could get themselves in good shape. For every person that says "I want to look good in a bathing suit" there are a thousand excuses as to why they cannot get themselves off ...
