What’s So Great About Bootcamp?!

The temperatures are rising, the sun comes up earlier, and it’s time to dust off the old workout gear.  But wait!  You’re are not sure what to even do!  You are bored with running, when you go to the gym you do the same 5 exercises because your not sure how to use the rest of the equipment and it’s not in your budget to be able to hire a personal trainer.  Yikes, what do you do now?

Bootcamp provides you a solution to overcome all those previously mentioned hurdles.  It is inexpensive, you have a personal trainer leading the exercises so it takes the guess work right out, and there is enough variety to constantly keep your muscles guessing.

Think Bootcamp will be too tough for you?  Are you picturing a drill sergeant of a trainer barking at you to go faster and nothing but already buff and athletic participants in class with you being the only one sucking wind?  Not at all!  Our bootcamp participants are of all ages and fitness levels and the trainer makes sure that everyone is doing exercises that are realistic for each participant.

We guarantee you’ll leave fatigued!

Excerice Can Help Quit Smoking!

If you’re a smoker, exercise may be your gateway to a healthier, smoke free life. Exercise is an excellent way to manage your cravings while you are quitting as well as prevent the weight gain that some people experience after they quit.

Exercise

Exercise is beneficial in numerous ways, and for smokers it may not just mean fitness, it may mean quitting. Whenever you feel that urge to light one up, consider doing some little exercises instead. Triceps dips in a sturdy chair, side bends while sitting in a chair, or shoulder raises using a full water bottle all are great ways to fight through a craving as well as get a little bit of exercise in the office.

Quitting

Quitting takes strength and time. Most people don’t fully quit on their first attempt, rather it takes multiple attempts to kick the habit. Here are some helpful tips to get started on the path towards a smoke free existence.

• Pick a quitting day and stick to it.
• Get rid of all of the tobacco products in your home, car and workplace.
• List the times and places that you most likely want to smoke and avoid them.
• Reward yourself for successful milestones such as a week or a month without smoking with things like a dinner out or a movie.

Weight Control

Some people experience weight gain when they quit, but this is something that can be curbed with a healthy diet and smart choices. No matter what, quitting should be your number one priority. Don’t give up on the fight just because you have gained a few pounds since you quit. Weight can be lost at any time so it is important to stay focused on the goal. Also, exercising daily will help to keep you fit while you quit. Monitor your weight and know what you are eating, it may help to consult a nutritionist for a healthy eating plan. Avoid sweets and alcohol as these are fattening and be sure to keep to your diet even when you are dining out.

Quitting can be tough but with these tips, focus, and a strong will you are well on your way to being much healthier and tobacco free.
