New Fall Schedule - starts October 10th

Hello friends!  
I am making some changes to our fitness schedule that will go into effect the week of October 10, 2011...  I think that these times and days will enable more people to come & join in our classes!  Please see below for the details :)

Class type & info:


Bootcamp- a one-hour class that works your entire body!  From core to strength to cardio, we work it all into these ever-changing sessions!  This class can be modified for all fitness levels, and you will have a blast while toning your entire body!


HIT- a 30-minute fat blasting class!  High Intensity Training is just that- it's intense!  We will be doing lots of superset's and be in constant motion in this class.  Strength & cardio will be incorporated into these classes.


Bootcamp 101-  This class meets twice a week for 45 minutes, and will introduce you to the bootcamp class moves!  Like bootcamp, it can be modified for all fitness levels!


Fit Circuit-  This class meets for one hour, and is similar to the format of the bootcamp class.  We will rotate through a circuit for the length of the class, and will focus on strength & cardio.

Best workout?

I have had a lot of questions regarding different workouts and training programs, and what is the "best" one...  my answer is- it depends!  It depends on you- your goals, your time, your lifestyle, and your preferences!  I don't think that there is one specific type of exercise or training that is right for everyone.  Different people have different goals and different needs.  

Look at your current lifestyle and see what changes need to be made.  Try out different exercise classes and activities- there are so many options in the Ozarks!  I personally love my bootcamp classes- you guys are some amazing clients!  The great exercise combined with lots of laughter :) makes for a great morning!  I also love to run/hike/bike on the local trails.  Try to incorporate strength training (check out this great article on lifting weights & strength training )as well as some type of aerobic exercise (think: dancing, running, biking, etc.) and be diligent about your diet.  No, I'm not saying to try some crazy fad diet- we all know how I feel about those! (I'm not for them in case you didn't know!) Eat healthy, make good choices, lower your intake of bad fats/caffeine/sugar/bad carb choices and replace them with smart choices!  Avoid fast food & soda!  

There are many wonderful blogs and articles about clean eating and being healthy...  just remember, when you feel healthy you will have the energy & will-power to push yourself harder with your workout program- it's a wonderful cycle!  Trust me, when you start eating healthy & then 'fall off the wagon', you will notice it in your next workout...  been there - done that - and it's no fun!

Have a great Wednesday!
