Today is one of those days where it feels like Winter is never going to go away. Don't dread...prepare to #SHRED

Hey everyone! If anyone is still following this page, I'm thinking of resurrecting the good ole days of Boot Camp. Anyone interested once the snow melts? Would like to run a 4-6 week camp in March, super cheap!

It doesn't get much easier than this!

Friday Fit Tip: Top 3 Functional Workout Moves If you are doing to do any three, these are the ones to make sure are in your repertoire.

Great tips on how to treat yourself with TEA!

Last day of the 30-Day Full Body Challenge! If you want to keep going or take on a new challenge, sign up for the "Back to School 28-Day F.I.T.T. Challenge starting Sep. 29th. With the Boot Camp option & clean eating, you are guaranteed to lose inches - what are you waiting for!?

Here is a pre-Thanksgiving workout that is sure to kick your ass! Thursday H.I.T.T. Workout With Thanksgiving upon us, it is one of those weekends where it is easy to fall off the wagon. Let this workout be a reminder of how painful this will feel AFTER the weekend if you don't keep things in check.... This workout specifically focuses on full-body, functional movements meant for super duper cardio plus overall body shredding. You'll complete each of the 7 moves for 30 seconds, 4 times in a row (2 minutes total work time per exercise). Give yourself 15 seconds in between for rest (intermediate/advanced), or 30 seconds in between (beginners) Set your Interval Timer as follows: (30:15/28 Rounds) 1. Inchworm 2. Crunches 3. Ski Jumps/Moguls (jumping side to side, feet together) 4. Plank Pushups 5. Alternating Reverse Lunges 6. Burpees 7. Jump Squats This workout takes about 21 minutes to complete. Add that to your Active Warmup and you can be done in under 30 minutes!

Sorry folks, no Boot Camp started this week due to not enough registrations. LAST CHANCE for Fall Fitness will start next week with the 30 Day Fall Fit Challenge! This will be set up as a Closed Group whereby you will need to register to take part, and there will be some cool options to choose from.

Hey everyone! We are nearing the end of the 30-Day Full Body Challenge! If you found it difficult to do the exercises on your own, or felt like you were getting bored and uninspired, have no fear! Stay tuned for details around the 30 Day Fall Fit Challenge!

Day 9 of the 28-Day F.I.T.T. Challenge and the group is going strong! Here is a little taste of what the gang is doing today! Tabata Tuesday! 4 moves. 12 minutes. #tabatatuesday... Set an interval timer (such as the Gymboss app on your phone) for 8 rounds of :20 work interval and :10 rest interval (see picture). If you use the Gymboss app, there will be a Tabata timer already there so all you need to do is change the number of rounds. Perform the set of 4 moves twice (8 rounds), rest 1 minute and repeat. Active Warmup = 1 minute Tabata Exercises: 1. Jumping Jacks 2. Squats 3. Push-ups 4. Burpees Cool-Down = 1 minute Tada! Tabata Tuesday is done :)

Hey Campers! We are on Day 6 of the 30-Day Full Body Challenge...how are YOU doing? If you are struggling to add cardio to the routine, here are some things you can do/1 Thursday, August 28 - take the workout OUTSIDE! Between sets of each full-body exercise (I suggest 10 of each per exercise performed all in a row until you reach 300 reps), try this on for size: Push-ups x10... :30 sec. skipping Squats x10 :30 sec. skipping Crunches x10 :30 sec. skipping Repeat this 10 times and your workout will be done!

STARTING TOMORROW, AUGUST 21ST - until the first day of Fall on September 23rd, join me in doing a 30-Day Full Body Fitness Challenge! Now, you will need to add other cardio activities to maximize your results, and I will add workouts here for you to use as well. See how this works for you over the next 30 days. The Fine Print for the 30-Day Full Body Fitness Challenge: 1. Pushups, Squats and Crunches are the most basic of exercises with oh-so many fun ways to mix them up! W...e will talk about it all month long, some are listed above, but share as you go. 2. You do not have to do all 100 of each move at the same time. You should break them into 1010, 520, 250 and so on. As you get stronger each week, you can increase the reps per set and decrease the total sets. Who know, but month end you might be doing 1100! 3. Be sure to use proper form and alignment to maximize results and prevent injury. Be smart! Break up the reps into sets of 5, 10, 15 whatever makes sense for your current level of fitness. You are responsible for your own health, so push yourself for improvement but not so far that you hurt yourself! Safety is key. 4. These exercises will strengthen and tone the major muscles of your upper body, lower body and your abs. You will still want to incorporate cardio vascular exercise a minimum of 30 minutes per day, 3 times per week to maximize results of this challenge. 5. At the beginning of the challenge you will record weight and basic measurements. At the end of the challenge, you will do the same thing to measure your progress. 6. Using a tracker or calendar, check off the days as you complete the activities and record the number of reps per set so you can measure improvement over time. 7. Sunday: Rest (no work). Repeat (pick your favorite day). Test (do them all for time!). 8. And as with any and all 30 Day Challenges, be sure to check with your doctor before you start any new exercise regimen.

Here is your WICKED WEDNESDAY WORKOUT plus a little eye candy to help motivate you! Do 10 reps followed by a stair sprint (leave the weights behind) for a total of 3 sets.

WORKOUT FOR TUESDAY, AUG. 19 MINI BOOT CAMP! Start today with a 4 minute active warmup like a brisk walk and a few walking lunges to get those legs primed up and ready for action!...
