Celebration Boot Camp

June Nutrition Seminar

2009-06-11T15:24:00.000-07:00

June Nutrition Seminar - Get and Maintain a Beach Ready Body for Summer !!

This is the time of year to wear less clothes, go on vacation or go to cook-outs with family and friends. So how do you keep your nutrition on point during these times so as not to sabotage all of your hard work at boot camp? How strict should you be when on vacation or at friendly food gatherings? Our ladies were given a lot of tips and advice last night on how to keep their eating in check, while still able to ENJOY themselves. In addition to this, we covered and hammered home the essentials of a proper nutrition plan. Any burning questions or concerns the ladies had were encouraged to be brought to the table! This is a DISCUSSION and not a lecture :) We always end up having some fantastic conversation and topics covered that weren't necessarily in the outline, but this is what makes being at the nutrition seminar so beneficial and worthwhile. We also gave out free nutritonal supplement samples - don't miss out next month!!

* Let us know if you would like help with a customized nutrition plan. This is a service we offer for $50.00 initial fee, $30.00 for updates. If you would like to order supplements at a discounted price, we can get you shakes, energy drinks, thermos, vitamins, antioxidants, fish oil caps…just let us know!

When: June Nutrition Seminar Wednesday (6/10) at 7:00pm in the Mirasol Cafe. The seminar lasts about an hour - hour/half.

Next Nutrition Seminar: Wednesday, July 22nd at 7:00pm

2008-11-17T14:38:00.000-08:00

We at Celebration Boot Camp would like to wish two very special ladies a very happy birthday this month!

Karen A. - November 16th, 5:45am Camp

Pam S. - November 24th, 9:00am Camp

May this be your fittest year yet ladies! So glad to have you be a part of Celebration Boot Camp!

Partner Day!

2008-11-14T14:03:00.000-08:00

One of our big beliefs about bootcamp is that we instill in each of our campers a sense of being a part of and working together as a "team." Bootcamp is about encouraging one another to do your best and supporting eachother when times get tough and you feel like quitting. Everyone has an important role in our camps and we rely on everyone's different strengths and abilities to make the bootcamp the best it possibly can be. From our ladies that shout encouragment and compliment eachother, to the women that put their nose to the grindstone and work as hard as they can, each individual is what makes our bootcamps a success. And we as instructors always will promote this positive environment every day of camp!

Partner activities included: Partner Lunge and Plank (Careen lunged out both legs while Margaret held her plank position for over a minute! Impressive!), High Five Push-Up (Beverly and her mom were animals this week..what a fit duo!), Dumbbell pass with a sit-up (Karen and Beth, both hard working women), medicine ball walkovers...you will see we had a little visitor come to camp and give Yanim a peck on her hands telling her to get going! LOL

We are so proud of everyone! It was quite hot and humid the past couple of days, but these ladies persevered and worked through it; no one was afraid of a little sweat bath! These are women that are going to reach their fitness goals. What an amazing team we have!!

November Boot Camp Kicks Off!

2008-11-11T13:32:00.000-08:00

Our November Boot Camp began Monday November 10th with an even bigger turn-out of ladies ready to kick their fitness levels into high gear before the holidays begin! For those returning campers, it's like you never even missed a beat! We know how much you missed us and we certainly missed all of you :) The first couple of days we have hit all major muscle groups in a circuit style of training. Our boot camp ladies quickly realize the importance of good nutrition to adequately sustain them through these workouts.

We are very excited to have all of our new campers as well! You all did exceptionally well and we hope you enjoyed your first day of camp, even if it was after the fact while you were reflecting on all that you had accomplished. Boot camp is all about going at YOUR OWN PACE. Of course, the instructors are here to push you and give you challenging workouts, that's our job! We want you all to achieve your goals and break plateaus. However, everyone has their limits and it is just a matter of you recognizing what that is. Everyone learns, as did all of our return campers, how to most effectively pace yourself so that you are still being challenged, yet able to make it all the way through the hour. It is an art form we are confident everyone will master very shortly :)

And lastly, nutrition! Some people do better exercising on an empty stomach, and some people will get sick and nauseaous if they don't eat. If you are awake and moving an hour or so before camp, one serving cream of rice or oatmeal with a fast digesting protein such as a whey protein shake is good (1 scoop). This needs 45-60 minutes to digest before camp. However, if you are waking up and coming directly to camp or if you have a sensitive stomach while exercising, eating a medium sized apple or 1/2 of a large grapefruit before camp is ideal. These are fast digesting and will give you enough fuel to get through the workout. It's important for our Bootcampers to drink lots of water throughout the day, as they will be needing it to replenish what is lost during the workouts.

Everyone (both return and new campers) will be amazed at the drastic improvements in their fitness levels after only 2 weeks of this camp. We pride ourselves on the results of our campers, which is why we maximize every hour of camp and will train your body in a way that forces it to respond the way you want it to! We are here as your coaches should you have any questions or concerns as the camp goes on.

Thank you all for being a part of our camp! Each and every one of you and your goals is very important to us!

Last Day of October Bootcamp

2008-11-02T13:28:00.000-08:00

Pictured above: Karen A, Karen M, Dara, LaDonna and Dana (missing: Kristin and Christen)

Our last day of October Bootcamp ended on Halloween and we made it a special one! Everyone did their post-camp evaluations and blew their pre-camp evaluation scores out of the water!! The levels of strength and endurance in these woman have progressed exponentially, and we couldn't be prouder :)

The Post-Camp Eval's were followed up by a final workout...no slacking just 'cause it's the last day! These women pushed themselves to the very end. We pride ourselves on their results, and after only 4 weeks, Instructors and campers have a lot to be proud about! In addition to increased fitness levels, many women have seen significant loss of inches, with some losing up to 3 inches around the hips and 2 inches around the waist! This just proves the hard work and dedication these women are putting in.

Lastly, we did awards for all of our campers. Here are the ones listed for 5:45am:

* Dara - Soft Spoken Award: For someone who doesn't say much, but whose actions speak volumes!

* Kristin A. - Positive Attitude Award: For tearing it up at camp and never complaining!

* LaDonna - The Hard Core Award: Ed Hardy hats at bootcamp are hard core!

*Christen C. - Determination Award: Nothing is stopping her from getting into those True Religion Jeans!

* Karen M. - Soldier Award: For persevering and growing stronger for it!

* Dana - Future Trainer Award: For cracking the whip on her partners and for kicking butt!

* Karen Adair - Ms. Overall Award: For perfect form, amazing effort, supporting and encouraging her fellow campers.

What have the workouts been like?

2008-10-19T15:46:00.001-07:00

No two days are ever the same when it comes to your boot camp workout! That is what makes Boot Camp fun and keeps your body guessing in order for you to be able to see results just that much quicker. No plateaus allowed!

Week One was comprised of mostly total body workouts, intervals of cardio, with Friday being our pre fitness assessment day. In 4 weeks, we will do these same assessments again to evaluate progress.

Week Two had the workouts becoming more body part specific. The levels of soreness definitely rose this week! However, we remind campers that a certain degree of soreness is good, and means that your body is becoming stronger, more fit and more toned. Everyone is doing such a great job of encouraging and pushing one another. It is a special thing to be a part of a group with common goals, and to gain inspiration from one another!

October Boot Camp Progress!

2008-10-19T15:37:00.000-07:00

Two weeks into camp and we are already seeing some amazing results from all of the women boot campers. Cardiovascular and muscular endurance levels of fitness have made drastic jumps of improvement, and 4-6 pounds of weight loss already off of some of these ladies! There is no doubt that we have a driven and dedicated group willing to work hard for these results. Some of these ladies have not worked out for over 25 years, and now they are able to perform workouts they would have never thought possible, in only 2 weeks!! Just imagine what the results will be like 4, 6, 10 and 12 weeks down the road....impressive to say the least. We are always a work in progress, let's keep the journey fun and take time to evaluate the positive changes along the way :)

FINDING INSPIRATION

2008-09-17T18:52:00.001-07:00

What drives you? What gets you out of bed every morning and drives you to go to work? For all of us, the answer is probably different. However, we do all have that goal in mind and will do whatever it takes to get there.

Last night as I sat and watched "The Biggest Loser," I was amazed at how driven the contestants are. All of them had different reasons for wanting to lose weight, but each one was willing to work just as hard as the other.

Fitness is just like anything in life, we have to have a reason for doing something. Why do you want a better body? Do you want to be more active for your kids,? Do you want to bring back your younger years? No matter what the reason may be, TAKE ACTION!! Set your goal and remind yourself everyday why you are working so hard. I promise that this added inspiration will make the process more enjoyable and more successful!

STAYING COMMITTED TO WORKING OUT

2008-09-16T15:31:00.001-07:00

So many of Americans sign up for gym memberships or say they are going to get fit, but why is the obesity epidemic still rising? The truth is staying committed to a fitness routine can be difficult. How can we overcome this, and be successful? Try some of these ideas:

1. Schedule your workouts as if they were an appointment on your calendar, choose the same time each day. Consistency is key with working out, and there is no better way than making it part of a daily routine.

2. Try working out in the MORNING. This will eliminate almost any excuse for missing your workout and you WILL feel more energized throughout the day.

3. Find a workout partner or coach. Having accountability can go a long way in helping you stay committed.

4. Measure results!! We see ourselves everyday so its often hard to visibly see changes, but if you measure the numbers don't lie! An inch loss on the thighs can be a great source of motivation for the following weeks workouts.

You've made the commitment to yourself, now keep it!!!

Not all Fats are Created Equal

2008-09-15T18:13:00.000-07:00

TODAYS NUTRITION TIP:

For the last couple decades, fat is being blamed as the reason for our country's obesity epidemic in addition to other things like heart disease and high cholesterol. Unfortunately, the "low fat" foods that we are consuming are actually more the culprit. What we need to understand is that the TYPE of fat is what is important. Eating Saturated and Trans fats are never a good idea, but we do need to be sure to get our daily doses of mono and poly unsaturated fats! Try incorporating things like avocado, peanuts, and olive oil into your diet and watch the bodyFAT melt away :)
