Challenge Winners and 2010 New Year

A contest was given to all my clients 8 and 12 weeks ago.

Actually, it was two contests.

One was called Fitness BINGO and the other one was Sexy Back Boot Camps Shape Up Challenge.

This was both for me to see who was really dedicated to themselves and to my program.

Clients always ask for tips and tricks to drop the fat and raise their metabolism, always wanting the easy way.

Here's a tip for you.... REAL fat loss takes dedication and commitment.

If I could invent a pill for everyone to drop the fat the REAL way, I would never have to work again.

If coming to class and getting your butt whooped was easy, everybody would be doing it.

But it's not.

I had over 100 new trial members come to camp in the month of December.

A little over 60 has survived and are staying with the other Sexy Sexies.

Congrats to those who are willing to take the next step towards a healthier, sexier lifestyle.

I wish luck to those who quit... you'll need it.

If training with us wasn't going to help you, next to nothing ever will.

The cost of training will increase after the New Year.

So if you want to save some money and want a REAL, efficient way of dropping the fat forever, you need to join our class for 2010 ASAP.

If you fell off the wagon and want back on, come on back into our training sessions.

Skinny Jeans... Here I Come!!

We started back up with classes this week.

We finished up a few contests and did a ton of workouts, so see tomorrows blog for the contest winners and workouts.

Wendy Greashaber won Camper of the Week a few weeks ago by coming to class every time, bringing in her food journal, doing her homework, applying her knowledge and teaching others about fitness.

Thank you and congrats to her. She won a $25 Gift Card to Bolero Salon and Spa.



I have made a lot of changes from what I eat to how I exercise. Overall, I have always been a healthy eater, but I wasn't hitting all of the food groups the way I should have (and still am at about 80%) Changes that I've made in my diet include increasing fruit, decreasing salty snacks, taking a multi vitamin and a fish oil supplement, decreasing diet soda, increasing water and using the knowledge that I gained from the "grocery store" tour to plan our family's meals. I'm realizing that I can't live my life without occasionally giving in to my favorite salty snacks, I just have to learn to say no a little more often. I try to start each day off right and I don't beat myself up over the bad days.

Another change that I've made is that I am now jogging/running on a regular basis. I'd never been able to make it more than half a mile until I started boot camp. I now run 3.5-4.5 miles on Mon., Wed., and Friday mornings and then run 5-6 miles on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I have to credit boot camp for giving me the core strength that I had been missing, but needed to do this. I work on core doing dynamic "around the world" 2 mornings a week after my run.

Overall, I've learned much more than I initially expected about fitness by just listening in class, trying to do what I'm supposed to, and seeing the results. I'm glad that we never know the daily class agenda before we get there because I'd have a hard time making myself go on days where we do leg excercises. I really have to focus hard at fully applying myself to lunges -- I hate them! (but the pain does wear off -- ha ha!)

My advise to everyone in the class would be: 3 steps forward and 1 step back -- Make your "good days" the best days ever -- see how far you can go! Don't beat yourself over the bad days.

Making It Happen - Campers of the Week

When I was in college and even after college, I loved to party and for me, that meant drinking tons of alcohol, all the time. Along with alcohol, came lots of junk food. That was five to ten years ago and luckily I was in sports and very active every single day or otherwise, I would’ve put on tons of fat like my peers. They talk about the freshmen fifteen, well my cousin Pin put on 30 lbs. My friend Grant put on 75 lbs his freshmen year!! Holy crap!! Later this week, I will give you some tips on how to mix it all up and combine not-so healthy nutrition choices and exercise to still drop the fat and not gain that freshmen fifteen.

Last week, I noticed a change in two boot campers that stood out. It was tough to choose, so I went with both. They are great ladies and great boot campers that are kicking ass and making things happen. They won’t take NO for an answer and gave their all, plus some. They each have won $25 gift cards to the best salon in Kansas City, Bolero Salon and Spa in Independence – The Official Salon of the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders and are last week’s Campers of the Week!!



Congrats to Kelly Thurber for winning Camper of the Week. Even with a busted head awhile back, she still came back to class and fought through it. She ran TWO 5K’s this past weekend!! If you don’t know, they’re 3.1 miles each!! The Truman Run and The Mother’s Day Run. Two other campers also ran both events. I will post pics from the runs later on this week, along with the Trolley Run from two weekends ago. Kelly also did not miss any classes plus she usually stays for the six and the seven pm classes. Thank you Kelly for being a great example and leader of the class.

Also, congrats to Joanna Farris for winning Bridal Camper of the Week. She is the party girl that loves going out and having fun but also wants to be healthy and feel good. She did not miss a single day (which is not normal) and that deserved recognition. She complains here and there (I’m just picking on you) but she still gives her all. Thank you Joanna for taking charge and improving every week.

Camper of the Week

Kelly Thurber – 5/10/09



1. How has Sexy Back Boot Camps changed you, mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually? At work, at home, with family and friends?

Sexy Back Boot Camps had changed me in all the categories, but especially emotionally and mentally. Because I can SEE the physical changes in my body, I am a much more up-beat and happier person at home and work.

2. What were or are your short-term goals (one week or one month) and long-term goals (12 weeks or 6 months or one year)?

• My short-term goals: I have registered to run a 5K on June 6, 2009; I want to run under a 12-minute mile.
• My long-term goals: I have participated in three 5K runs in the last two months, I would like to participate in a half to whole marathon in one year.

3. Toughest challenges - how do you keep your focus because it's so easy to let other factors distract your focus?

It's funny you ask about challenges and keeping focus, I have been really distracted the last two weeks, I mean I have a grandson that I had NO idea was coming. But, I find that working-out means that I can focus on ME for just a little bit before going back to the craziness. (It's ME TIME, and I need that)

4. Least favorite exercise:

If I have to pick a least favorite exercise, I guess it might be the ones that involve "jumping".

5. Favorite exercise:

I would have to say that my favorite exercises are the real challenging ones, like at the end of class because I am so tired, they challenge me the most.

6. What keeps you coming back to the classes?

What keeps me coming back to class, that’s easy, Kri and the ladies that I have met and formed friendships with.
