What does it all mean

Recently we have talked about how much of the three macro nutrients we should be taking in an a daily basis and what we should look for when reading nutritional labels. Here is an article that may help explain this better than I was able to. REMEMBER IT IS NOT ALWAYS CALORIES IN CALORIES OUT.

What's For Dinner

This week our boot camps have been really intense. Several barriers have been broken this week and everything is starting to click with our team members. All the right questions are being asked and with knowledge comes power. Now that you all have the knowledge you need to succeed, BE POWERFUL and take control of your life. Write your own story, you can be the author of an award winning novel or a total flop. Which will it be? You only get one shot at this thing they call LIFE.

For the rest of boot camp we have a little homework. I want to know what is for dinner. Sooooo we are going to keep a food journal for the remaining time of boot camp. A food journal should consist of EVERYTHING that you consume from breakfast, lunch, and dinner to mid-day snacks. Even you adult beverages EVERYTHING that you consume. Be specific and journal EVERY DAY. If you have any questions about what the journal should consist of PLEASE ask.

Boot Camp Representing!!

This week as been pretty busy around the gym and especially for our Boot Camps. I would like to point out although our Boot Camp members make up only about 30% of our members they were the majority this morning in our Saturday team WOD. We also had a couple of former Boot Campers that were out representing today. Props to you all for showing up today(hungover or not). We had a great day with some running burpees SDHLP, oh yeah and introduced the prowler to a couple of people.

Make sure that you DO NOT miss Saturday workouts. It is a good way to meet other Versus members and build a stronger fitness community. Remember to stay dedicated over the weekend and do not settle of mediocrity.

Moving On Up

Well its been almost a week since the ol' groundhog DID NOT see his shadow and I think that he is a liar. It has been frigid in the gym lately, but our boot campers have braved ice storms and all to get the results they deserve. Keep up the hard work ladies and gents and I promise you that you can change your life in the remaining time of your Boot camp. Remember the 80/20 rule, if you're not sure what I'm talking about ask at your next class.

By the way we will be moving our Boot camps to a new location, be sure to ask about the new location at your next Boot camp.

No Shadow

Our 6:00 class really smashed the workout tonight. I guess you could say they got in a 3 round bout and definitely came out on top. I want to give a shout out the the Kims, one for losing two pants sizes and the other for losing 10 pounds. Keep up the hard work ladies we are half way through your first Boot Camp. Keep your eyes on the goal and Do NOT simply walk across the finish line. SPRINT!!!!!


Then there were 3...

Our 7:00 class has really represented over the last five months. I know it is tough to stay motivated during the cold dreary Winter days but remember Spring is right around the corner(the groundhog did not see his shadow) and with Spring comes cookouts, pools, and swimsuits. Soooo stay in the gym, stay motivated, and stay fit. Don't let it sneak up on you. What is "it", you ask. "It" is whatever wedding, trip, Mardi Gras ball, banquet, or whatever is on the calendar that you want to look your best for.

BT DUB we are switching up our program a little beginning next week. We will get cardio, abs, and strength all in everyday and it is important that you are there everyday to get the full benefit of the program.


One last thing the word of the day is: NUTRITION
