Bootcamp Field Notes…
This morning we had a great workout with the ViPR’s (here’s a link of them in action for those who missed class today http://vimeo.com/11384587)!!! This is the newest fitness tool to be released in the U.S. later this year. So, you are some of the first people to see/use this product! The only others who have them in the U.S. include the 49′ers, Phillies, Longhorns, and Spurs. Thanks to Michol Dalcourt,Val and the PTontheNet/FitPro North America team for the sneak preview of this AWESOME training tool.
Congratulations to Holly for winning the fitness challenge of the day! Great job to Vicky and David who came in 2nd and 3rd place.
How many of you did your homework last week and did three more days of a 60 minute activity? What did you do?
This week’s homework is to get outside for a hike, bike, walk, run, camping trip at least 2 times before our next class on Wednesday. In addition to this, I would like to challenge all of you with…..(drum roll please)….THE VEGGIE CHALLENGE!!! (sounds of shrieking and gasping)
Chop up your favorite veggies (carrots, snap peas, peppers, celery, cucumber, tomatoes, etc) and put them in a ziplock sandwich bag. You must eat half of the veggie bag before 12pm and the other half must be gone before you leave work at night. The people who do this every work day (Mon-Fri) for the next 8 weeks (starting tomorrow) will receive a complimentary MAT (Muscle Activation Techniques www.muscleactivation.com ) session with me. (Disclaimer: If you have an allergy to any particular foods or vegetables, please let me know so I can accomodate)
Vegetables are like the dump trucks of our bodies. They help in removing waste and keeping our systems clean and healthy. Imagine if you didn’t take the garbage out of your house every day. It would slowly build up and start stinking up the entire place. The same thing happens if you don’t eat your vegetables. Vegetables provide the body with essential vitamins, minerals and fiber for the body. They also are “Nutrient Dense”. Meaning, they give you the most nutritional benefit for the least amount of calories. The best bang for the buck.
See you all next week!
Thanks,
