The Perfect Blend for Optimal Weight Loss
I get asked constantly about how to not only get started with a workout program but also the best way to lose weight. It’s a simple yet complex answer at the same time. Many people want me to prescribe a magic pill but sustained weight loss takes more than a simple pill.
I’m going to share the perfect blend of what it takes to ...
May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month
I just learned that May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. This was started back in 1983 by the President's Council on fitness as an effort to promote healthy lifestyles to the American people. You can imagine I am excited about this month for several reasons:
1. It's centered around physical fitness which is the primary ...

Drop Down Low with Beyonce
One of the primary tenets constantly repeated is “muscle confusion”. “Change it up and keep the body guessing”. Well today we did JUST THAT! The other evening my boot camp sister posted a funny mention about how she will imagine being one of Beyonce’s back up dancers when we start doing the voluminous number of squat reps!

Who Needs Medicine?
I work for a health insurance company and every year we have an opportunity to decrease our annual medical benefit premium by participating in a biometric screening. They measure our cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, BMI, and blood pressure. I signed up last week and silly me forgot I had it this morning. I drank my green smoothie with ...
If You Didn’t Come To Party
Then you should go home. That is how it is in boot camp. If you didn't come to work hard - why come out at 5:30 am at all? We don't come out there to sit on the wall or the bleachers. We come out there to WORK! Today was no different. Thursdays are normally toning day and that means we focus on hand weights and upper and lower body ...
Who Run The World?
Today started off as a very good day. Got up, got dressed, picked up my neighbor and started Sanders Optimum Fitness boot camp - Week 2. Our warm up was a walk/jog/sprint to get in our first mile. Pheewwww I'm used to that later on in the session! It was good though - I never walk now because I will never catch up if I do. We did ...
Day 3 Boot Camp – DRINK MY SWEAT!
Arrived at boot camp late ya'll. They had already started the 1-mile, 10-minute jog as I was putting down my stuff. Something told me they were going to warm us up with running in the Sanders Optimum Fitness Boot Camp so I prepared and already had my earphones and iPod shuffle hooked up ready to pop in my ears so I dropped my bag and TOOK ...
Boot Camp, Green Smoothies OH MY!
It's April 8th and we started off the April boot camp session today! Wow, what a difference a week off makes! I didn't really have an entire week off. I did continue going to the gym, doing the stepmill and working on my cardio but this stuff never ever really compares to a boot camp session. BUT I got it in and got through it. We did ...
MVP!
Today was the last day of boot camp for me for the March session. It was tough I ain't gon' lie. We did the dreadful squats across the gym, walking lunges with shoulder presses and then these shuffle squats! OOOOCCHHH!
We had some awards today which I always enjoy because it is a time when the boot camp recognizes some of its clients for ...
Heart Attack
That is what it felt like I was having when I sprinted my way around the gym today in boot camp. This is the 4th week of boot camp and our instructor took it up a notch to TEST us on everything we should have improved upon from week 1. Whether this was your first boot camp or your 21st, we got it in today.
Test #1

No Excuses #Workout
Sometimes you have to be flexible and that is just what I was this morning. My trainer needed to move my time so I met her bright and early at 5:00 am today. Well it actually wasn't that bright - it was PITCH BLACK but I showed up rearing to go. I got there before they even unlocked the doors. Below is the workout of the day. No excuses ...
Where Have You Been All My Life – Polar FT4 Review
If you have been following this blog you know I had an HRM I used that gave me less than stellar results. You would also know I have been participating in boot camp since like August 2012 and am still in my last session (I plan to take a break for April). Anywho - based on reading so many other pages and posts, I finally found a heart ...
