11/23/08

This past week we completed our sixth North Myrtle Beach Adventure Boot Camp for 2008. There is one more camp left for 2008, which will begin Monday, December 1st. There were 16 campers in the November camps. 5 of the 16 post evaluations have been completed and we have already seen really good results. Out of the 5 evaluations completed we recorded a total lose of 9 pounds, 15 1/4 inches, and an average of 5% body fat loss. Three of the five ladies were return campers that were on their 3rd or 4th camp. I am so proud of how hard all the campers worked this month and look forward to seeing the results of the other 11 tomorrow.

Imagine how good you will look and feel after 4 weeks of NMB Adventure Boot Camp! There are still some spots left for the 3 week mini holiday camp in December. Register online now at www.NMBeachBootCamp.com

The Answer to Your Lack of Motivation is Right Outside Your Door!

Have you ever joined a fitness facility and soon after find yourself wondering why you ever signed a gym contract? Well, you are not alone. More than 35% of people who join a fitness club quit each year.
The IHRSA, which is an International Health & Fitness Organization, conducted a survey to find out why so many people cancel their gym memberships. The most stated reasons are as follows; overcrowded facility, inconvenient club location, lost interest or motivation, couldn’t afford the expense, and new demands made on my time. It is not surprising to me that price and time were among the top reasons cited for discontinuing gym memberships. Lack of income and time are legitimate reasons for leaving a club, however I suspect that a higher percentage of people had little knowledge of what to do once they were inside the gym and there was no support system in place to keep them motivated to continue. If your health and well being are a priority to you I suspect you will find the extra time and money to invest in yourself. The answer to lost interest or lack of motivation could very well be right outside your door!
Most women would enjoy and benefit from having a personal trainer teach them proper work out techniques but for many the cost of working with a highly certified professional trainer is not in their budget. This is where a certified outdoor fitness boot camp is a great alternative to personal training inside of a gym. Boot camps provide motivation, fun, and great results! A quality boot camp program is designed so that many women of different fitness levels, sizes, and ages can work together in a group.
Boot camps are very effective in helping women achieve and maintain their fitness goals. The use of cardiovascular training, strength training, Pilates, and Plyometrics, not only burn more calories during your training session but through kicking up your metabolism you continue to burn more calories throughout the rest of the day. The result is increased energy, body fat reduction, and muscle definition.
When looking for a boot camp to attend, it is important that the trainer be a Certified Personal Trainer who is also a Certified Adventure Fitness Trainer. Certified Adventure Fitness Trainer’s are accredited by the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association.
The North Myrtle Beach Adventure Boot Camp for Women is part of the largest fitness boot camp program in the world, Adventure Boot Camps. They offer 4 week ladies only boot camps at 5:30AM & 9:00AM to meet the needs of the busy women. Women who attend North Myrtle Beach Adventure Boot Camp will experience a variety of fitness activities such as games, obstacle courses, interval training, strength training, Pilates, and even hiking.
Can you imagine how you will look and feel after four weeks of fun, energizing activities designed to help you reach your fitness goals? Grab a friend and come enjoy this ultimate out-of-gym experience!

Tuesday, November 4, 2008

Today was another incredible day at NMB Adventure Boot camp. The campers ran through a circuit today and got an incredible workout in 1 hour! The main word I heard repeated after camp was the word "fun"! I heard a lot of laughter today as the women challenged themselves to push through one more time!

It looks like we have 1 more rainy day to deal with here at the beach and then it should be nice enough to hold beach Pilate's day at camp. Beach Pilate's is a favorite with most of the boot campers. It is a very relaxing and energizing way to begin or end your day.

Today is a big day in America as we head to the polls to vote for whichever candidate you would like to see in office for the next 4 years. With all of the stress in our society right now people should look to a fitness program to help relieve stress and feel better both physically and mentally.

Adventure Boot Camp is a great way to be a part of a successful fitness program that will relieve stress and give you the body results that you are looking for. Boot Camp will help you get fit in the outdoors, which is also proven to help combat depression and the effect that stress has on your body.

Tonight I look forward to spending time with my family watching my 3 children at their soccer games and coming home to watch the election results.

Be Well,

Day one...Adventure Boot Camp 6

Today was an awesome day for me at NMB Adventure Boot Camp. I feel excited & motivated today after training a great group of people today during the 3 boot camp sessions.

It is an incredible feeling to be able to work with people who have the desire to make such a lifestyle change. The first day of camp is always great because everyone is excited and a little nervous about what they will experience at boot camp. It was nice to hear some of our client's say how fun boot camp was today and how they were worried for nothing because they really can do this & it is fun!

The rain didn't hold us down today and everyone was able to get a great workout during their session. Today was buddy day and we had quite a few buddies come out to give boot camp a try. Each one decided to join for our November camp!

We did some fun activities for everyone to learn names and a little something about each person. The campers also seemed to enjoy the flashback from the 80's workout music on my IPOD!

Even between running 3 camps today, I found some time to spend with Krista to take her shopping for new boot camp sneakers. She was able to find a nice pair of Asics at the Rack Room Shoes at Tanger Outlets. They have a buy one get one 50% off sale if anyone needs a new pair of shoes!

We are getting ready to offer a special incentive for becoming a Very Important Boot Camper this month....keep watching your email for the details!

Yours in Fitness,

Another NMB Adventure Boot Camp Begins!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow on November 3rd we will begin the sixth North Myrtle Beach Adventure Boot Camp for 2008! That means that the year is almost to an end.

North Myrtle Beach Adventure Boot Camp for Women began in May of 2008 with 7 energetic ladies in the original 5:30AM class. The women in the community were very excited about a whole new concept to fitness training in this area and each month camp continued to grow.

In July we hit a record attendance of 23 women sweating it out in the 5:30AM camp...yes, it was HOT at 5:30AM at the beach in July!

The ladies in boot camp have worked hard each month and have seen incredible results! Some women have lost up to 13% in body fat and during the month of August, 11 amazing women who had their body measurements taken recorded an astounding 53 5/8 inch total loss between them!

As the word spread around town about this ultimate out-of-gym experience more and more women expressed interest in joining this unique outdoor fitness program. A second boot camp class for women only was recently added at 9:00AM for those who can't make the original early bird camp at 5:30AM.

As the year comes to an end I am already looking forward to another great year in 2009 of helping more people achieve personal goals that they once felt were the impossible. I meet incredible people on a daily basis who are searching for better health and wellness. I feel so blessed that so many people have trusted me to be their support and guidance to lead them on their journey to better health and longevity.

Be Well,
