Today’s FitCamp workout is pretty technically challenging but keep in mind there are scaled options for all three exercises as there are within any class.  So if you haven’t gotten HSPU’s or even heard of a muscle-up don’t sweat it.  There are great substitutions you are very familiar with for both of these that will get you a great workout and also help you build a great foundation for learning these advanced moves in the future if you choose so.  Here is a video of today’s workout as perscribed so you can get a good visual of the exercises and workout for today. (REMEMBER, most will NOT do this workout as perscribed and will be doing a combo of some scaled options so if you’re thinking of bagging class because of the workout think again and get your butt to class. :))   Strength: Push-Press/Push-Jerk Complete 5 sets of either...Read more

What seperates the people who succeed with their health focused new years resolutions from the millions of others who are already struggling after just 2 days? What are you going to do to make sure the resolutions you made for 2011 actually last? Just saying you have a new years resolution and even writing it down is simply not enough. You must be willing and ready to take massive action, and that’s the bottom line. Action is what separates those who will make it from the rest who will fail. Unless you start taking action immediately towards achieving your goals then there’s no telling how long those hopes and dreams for a healthy start to 2011 will last. I genuinely and honesty want nothing more than for you to succeed this time so start right NOW and take 1 action step towards your goal. Think of one step you can take right now and just...Read more
