Ready for 2011?

Isn't it time to get serious about your health?  Isn't it time to be consistent with exercise and a smart diet?  St. Louis Adventure Bootcamp is the BEST way to get started with good habits that lead to a healthier you! 

It's so hard to not be attracted to gimmicks that offer quick results and don't require much effort.  Who doesn't want to take an easier road?  But don't be fooled that you need more than diet and exercise to tone up, lose weight, and feel better in all areas of your life.  It will require effort, but we all know the hard work is worth it! 

Our campers are ready to be serious about their health.  Now, they come to camp at various starting fitness levels, but the workouts are made to meet you wherever you are.  Three days a week is also a great if you're just starting back (and who isn't after the holidays?) or looking for more of a push in your already consistent exercise routine.  A consistent, healthy lifestyle is the goal here--not a short-term quick fix--and this requires long-term vision of how healthy habits now will make a difference in your lifestyle 2, 5, 10 years from now.

St. Louis Adventure Bootcamp is committed to helping you reach your fitness and health goals.  As a result of this long-term vision of health, new in 2011, sign up for 3 consecutive camps and save 25% off all three camps.  Go ahead and commit to the accountability and special attention you need and deserve!  St. Louis Adventure Bootcamp is ready to meet you where you are and take you further down the road to a healthy lifestyle.

Been Too Long

Wow, I'm a lame blogger for the bootcamp!  I guess we have been having too much fun for me to stop and write about it.  The weather is beginning to cool off pretty well, which means we'll be using our indoor option off and on till the real cold comes.  And daylight savings comes around this weekend, so we'll have some sunlight again starting next week. 

Is it good to point out that we workout in the early, dark, cold morning?  I'm not sure, but it's the truth.  And then we're done for the whole day before most people even get out of bed!  We've burned our 600 calories already, and we're energized for the day ahead!  There comes a point where it's simply worth the effort to exercise consistently, and so often when we put it off it just doesn't get done.  At least that's true in my life.  So early, dark, cold mornings it is--and gladly when I consider the benefits.

It's also holiday season, known to me as the season of eating.  Those of us who have been doing bootcamp for several months are ready!  We have lost our weight before the eating commences, and we're sticking with the bootcamp so that we can maintain but never gain!  Maybe I'll even lose some more.  And I can confidently wear my best skinny dress this Christmas--woohoo!

It's not too late to join us in 2010.  You can have all these benefits too.  Trust me--when the new year comes around you'll be so glad your resolution can be to continue your healthy habits vs. starting them up.  And won't you feel good about seeing all your friends and family over the holidays?  When they tell you how fabulous you look, you can tell them it's all thanks to St. Louis Adventure Bootcamp!  Come join the adventure!  We'll get you there too!

Holiday Prep Camp Flier

As we near the holiday season, aren’t we already preparing our homes to be ready for guests, meal-planning a feast or two, and even starting our gift lists?
What better way to also prepare for this season of eating by joining St Louis ABC’s first ever Holiday-Prep Camp?

It is simply not necessary to put on pounds over the holidays. It is worth every effort to lose or maintain, but not to gain during these busy 2 months!
Holiday-Prep Camp 1 runs for just 3 weeks.  M,W,F from November 1-19 at Salem in Ladue UMC from 5:30-6:30am.

Get ready—the season of feasting will be here in no time!

Come join the adventure! Space is limited.

Break time

Let me encourage you that even though we are taking 2 weeks off between camps this time, this is no time for slacking in our exercise and eating habits!

I confess that today I have not done well, but I am reaping the fruit from the error of my ways. I am testy and irritable with the kids, and I find myself standing at the open door of the fridge too often. Yesterday I couldn't hold my leg still during dinner. It kept involuntarily bouncing up and down--it missed being worked out. When I exercise regularly and eat healthy foods, I feel better across the board. In all areas of my life.

So I'm jumping back on the wagon tomorrow and hope to start the day with a good, long walk followed by a yummy, healthy breakfast. Won't you join me? We'll feel better for it!

Ready to fit into your skinny jeans??

One more week of Camp 4, then a well-deserved 2 week break! We usually break for only 1 week, but we won't start back this time until August 23.

I can tell it's not quite as light in the mornings as it was a month ago, which means we get to see some amazing sunrises during our workouts.

The next few Camps will be all about fitting back into our skinny jeans. You know we all have them in our drawer/closet, trusting that one day we'll proudly wear them again. Well, this is the year! It can be done, and bootcamp is the way to do it!

Register now, as there are only a limited number of spots available per camp. http://www.stlouisadventurebootcamp.com/

Great start!

Well, it's been a while since I've blogged about camp. It has been a whirlwind the last few months, but things are going great! We have met some really fun girls who are committed to improving their health by working hard at exercise.

Workouts are every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at Salem in Ladue UMC at the corner of Lindbergh Blvd and Hwy 40/I-64. It's the perfect location being right in the middle of St Louis suburbs--very easy to get to and a quick drive home. The 5:30am-6:30am workout hour make it perfect for all women from SAHM's to career women to get a great workout then get home before the day really starts. Also, since it is only women, it's a safe place to give it your all without any concern for others watching you sweat. :)

This is our first summer to do ABC, and I'll have to say it has been an adventure. We have been blessed with dry weather each morning, and there have been only a handful of days where we were hot to start. Most mornings there is a breeze to help cool us off. However, even on the most humid days, it is MUCH COOLER in this early hour than any other time. Think about it--if you wait to exercise outside until after work, the city heat will bake you. City heat? Yes, the heat radiating off the brick buildings and pavements from being in the sun all day. So early morning is definitely the time to be outside in the summer!

One deliberate change we've made recently is to limit our class size to 12 women. Some bootcamps get huge--up to 40 or 50 people. While I am certainly capable of handling a class that large, I am more committed to giving each Camper the attention and direction she deserves.

Right now we're in Week 2 of Camp 4. Hard to believe! Usually there is only one week off between the 4 week camps. However, in August we will break for 2 weeks. We come back in full swing with Skinny Jean Camp starting August 23. Bring me your skinny jeans--you know, the ones you've kept because you'll fit back into them one of these days. We'll get ready for the fall season by getting into your favorite pair of jeans! Won't that feel good!?

Laughter at Sunrise

We laughed today. A lot. And it has made my day start off better than most.

I think the laughter was partly due to the upper-body exercises where you all had to work together to get it done. And being in a circle where you were looking at each other helped too.

I am really enjoying hearing your stories and learning more about who you are, ladies. What a priviledge to get to make new friends!

Here We Go!

The website is up! The calendar is set! And we already have 3 campers ready to start March 29, which is still 2 1/2 weeks out. We're going to have a great group for this first Camp.

Thank you to Salem UMC on Lindberg for allowing us to use your parking lot and grounds for Camp. It is an great spot--very easy to get to and centrally located. And flat, which means it's easier to run on. :)

I'm busy here getting all my gear ready to start. There isn't much equipment we'll use, but probably the most important is the music player. Working out is so much more fun to good music! Anyone have suggestions for a good portable iPod player?

Location Approved!

I have been working on getting this business up and running since September, 2009. It has been a long time coming, but it seems our last hurdle has been passed (location approval), and we're ready to start exercising, ladies!

Calendar coming soon!
