If you are like most sports enthusiasts in America then chances are you didn’t get nearly enough sleep last night staying up late to watch the Saints and Colts battle it out in the Superbowl.  If that’s you then you probably also made a few unhealthy food choices and maybe even had a few alcoholic beverages while munching on some chips and dip.  AND, right about now you probably feel like the stuff you scrape off your shoe when you step in it.  So let me ask you this.  What’s your plan to getting back to feeling energized, healthy and on track with your Spring time health and fitness goals? Do you skip the workout today and live to fight another day OR do you suck it up, get out of bed, lace up your sneaks and do what you know you need to do and get to FitCamp.   This is what...Read more

Hey there fellow FitCampers!  It’s thursday evening at 6pm and I’ve gotta make this quick b/c I have a little 2 year old princess waiting for me to walk through the door any minute now.  As rushed as I am to leave the studio I didn’t want to leave you hanging and forget about your Friday morning daily dose of FitCamp.  So here is it short and sweet… Today’s FitCamp:  TABATA (“The Mystical Japanese Warrior”)  Ka-chow! P.S.  If you haven’t heard about the FitCamp 4 Kids Program starting up Feb 22nd make sure to check it out.  We’ve already had a lot of interest and a few sign-ups.  Space is limited to 12 kids per class so act fast if you want a spot!  Check out the FitCamp for Kids Flyer!

Okay, back to business. Just shot a quick video for you today to give you a new kind of Daily Dose.  Once you watch please leave me a quick comment using the comment link above.  If anyone can come up with a fun and creative name for my yellow kettlebell in the background I will give them 5 ProGrade Cravers! Yum! After watching the video I realized that you can’t read the sign in the background.  It may be obvious at the end of the video but in case you were wondering.  It reads “Happy Birthday Rachael!  Love ya Sis!”     Today’s FitCamp: “Double Trouble” This workout is a Superset format where you complete 2 exercises back-to-back for 10 minutes aiming to complete as many “supersets” as possible.  10 Front Squats + 20 Weighted Sit-ups 10 DB Bench + 20 yard DB Walking Lunge 10 Push-Press + 20 Knees to...Read more

A side note on today’s workout:  Due to the all-time low attendance for yesterday’s FRAN workout it seems that the Daily Dose has backfired.  SO, I have decided to take a new approach…   Today’s FitCamp:  “The Terrible 3’s” WARM-UP:  3 Warm blankets will be used to bring your muscles up to temperature and increase blood flow throughout your entire body. SKILL:  Today we will be practicing 3 step breathing (inhale, exhale, repeat).  Not too heavy, just relaxed, calm and controlled… breathing. MAIN WORKOUT:  3 Air Squats, 3 Push-ups, 3 Sit-ups, 3 Pull-ups 3 minute rest Repeat just one time to prevent sweating CORE SET:  Inhale, exhale, upon exhale hold abs tight for 3 seconds then relax.  COOL-DOWN:  We will conclude today’s workout with a 55 minute rest period (nap). Looking forward to seeing you in class! 🙂   Important Stuff! LAST CALL for Indoor Rock Climbing this Sunday afternoon.  If hanging from a rope 30 feet off...Read more
