3/17/2014

Outdoor bootcamp is back April 12!
This years bootcamp will be slightly different than last year, there's lots of exciting new things! It's not just me instructing this year, we'll have Dave as well. We have different teaching styles which brings a cool new edge to the classes. They'll still be very doable for any fitness type, but ran differently
than last year. We have been working hard all winter building new equipment and obstacles for bootcamp and are very excited to finally bring them to use!

Where and when do we meet?
Bootcamp will meet every Saturday 9-10am at Edward Lynch Field in Hingham. This is the field right at the entrance of Bare Cove Park located across the street from Stop and Shop in Hingham. We'll be set up right on the field. Because we
want to get you the best workout we possibly can we'll be in Long Island on April 26-27 getting another training certification so bootcamp will not be held on April 26.
How much is bootcamp?
Drop in rate of $15 or you can buy 10 classes for $100. We'll also be doing "refer a friend" benefits, because working out with a friend is a lot more fun! Bring a friend and get a free class.
Who is bootcamp for?
Bootcamp is a scary word, but it shouldn't be. Our classes are made for everyone:
-those who want to challenge themselves
-get outdoors and be a part of a pretty awesome group of people
-great for weight loss, toning, endurance, cardiac health, strength, fat burning
-exercise enthusiasts looking to get out of the boring gym routine
What will we do in class?
Each class will be very different. but each one will include a warm up, weight training either with weights or bodyweight, short bursts of cardio, some obstacles, and ending with some yoga.
How to sign up
It's easy- call, email or text Jen 339-499-8131 to sign up, or just show up a few minutes early to sign a waiver. Our website will soon have the option of signing up and paying for classes but until, just let us know in advance. Sign up soon to get a spot and help us spread the word!
Thanks so much, and hope to see you all out there!

most common abs myths

2/16/2014

 
The most common myths about abs

Myth 1: Crunch your heart out for a six pack
Doing 500 crunches a day will strengthen and build up your abdominal muscles, however spot reduction unfortunately doesn't work. You must lose overall body fat to be able to see those muscles! 

Myth 2: You can work your abs out everyday
9/10 people think it's okay to work their abs out daily. This is definitely not true. They're a muscle just like every other, and if it's not okay to work your biceps out every day, then it's not okay for your abs either. Your muscles get stronger when they rest, and heal themselves. When you don't take rest days you'll never get those abs stronger and you could cause other problems for yourself.

Myth 3: You only need crunches to do the trick
Now we've moved on from doing abs everyday, and you've lost enough body fat to show those washboards, but you don't see results from the sit up and crunch routine you have going. That's because your ab muscles are made of different muscles. Crunches are great for the front, but without using different angles and moves to engage your core your six pack will be lacking. Involve rotational movements as well as incorporating your legs into your routine. 

Myth 4: I did abs today.. I can totally eat that donut
As delicious as it sounds, having a six pack... or an 8 pack is 20% gym, 80% nutrition. You won't show it off if you're diet consists of fatty foods like that. Fill your fridge with leafy veggies, natural foods and plenty of water. These foods help keep your fat count down as well as aiding in overall weight loss
