Bootcamp Success!


10:00am Saturday morning. Funk & I were pumped and ready to go. Plyometrics, killer ab moves, kettlebells, cardio, and pushing trainees beyond perceived physical limits made for one of the most intense bootcamp workouts ever! The trainees loved it and some were even sore from the workout!

Bootcamp was a success! I had a blast and am already learning tons as I go along. It was a great feeling taking on role of the trainer and motivating the trainees to achieve their fitness goals. It's hard to believe that it was only a couple of years ago that I was overweight and thinking how great it'd be to become a trainer someday. Well, it happened and I'm going to stick to it!

Planning for the next boot camp is in the works and it can only get better and tougher!

As a long time boot camp trainee, I never thought I'd find myself teaching boot camp. This coming saturday is going to be my first time ever. Given this amazing opportunity, I'm extremely excited and pumped. For the next 3 weeks, I will be instructing alongside Funk Roberts. We've got an incredible workout planned - it's going to be fun, intense and full of fat burning surprises that you just don't want to miss out on!

The perfectly balanced lunch

In any meal, you should always aim to have a good balance of lean proteins and carbs. Proteins are king when it comes to losing weight. They help your body recover from exercise and repair muscle tissue, are very low in calories and won't be converted into fat. Carbohydrates provide your body with energy. Good carbohydrate rich foods are fine and as long as you don't consume them in high amounts they will assist you in weight loss. With that being said, here is what i have prepared for lunch: Stirfried green beans with tofu and chicken.

Ingredients:
2 blocks of firm tofu (diced)
1/2 chicken breast (sliced)
green beans
1/2 red pepper (sliced)
1 tsp diced garlic

seasoning:
olive oil
black pepper
white pepper
salt
garlic powder
soy sauce
water or chicken broth

directions:
1. in a pan, grill the chicken with 1/2 tsp of olive oil.
2. lightly grill tofu cubes, season with salt, pepper, & garlic powder
3. heat pan, using 1 tsp olive oil, stir fry and season green beans & red peppers until desired taste & softness.

Bon Apeitit!
