WEEK 3 is ALMOST COMPLETE

Since this is week 3 (out of 4) of camp, the exercises (and instructors) have gotten much more challenging. Don't get me wrong, camp has always been a challenge since the beginning but Stacy and I are demanding much more from you ladies.

We specifically design the classes so that ALL are challenged. It doesn't matter whether you are a regular fitness buff or someone new to exercise, everyone is pushed to their potential.

Week one is set up so that you are building a foundation that will take you through to week 4. You are building a base strength in the legs, arms and core that will allow you to perform the more difficult and complex exercises in week 3 and 4. There is much more to exercise then "working up a good sweat." Stacy and I have created a progression in each class so that by the end of camp you are able to do things you never would have thought your body could do.

If you are reading this blog and you have never experienced a boot camp class before, don't be scared. Women of all shapes and sizes are avid Adventure Boot Campers. Unlike most boot camp classes in gyms, there are no men allowed. We keep it simple so that everyone can work in a noncompetitive environment and just have fun. Isn't that what exercise is supposed to be anyway?

So this leads me to next Saturday, August 4th (and then every other weekend). Come down to Central Park at 9am and take part in our FREE SATURDAY BOOT CAMP class. You wont be alone. Last week we had 23 women and the weekend before that 35 of NYC's most adventurous ladies showed up. Check out http://www.nycadventurebootcamp.com/ for all of the details. See you there!

35 WOMEN ATTEND FREE SATURDAY BOOT CAMP!

AN ALL TIME RECORD!

This past Saturday on June 30th we conducted our regular Bi Monthly free boot camp class in Central Park. We do this as a little kick back to the community b/c we are sick and tired of all of the boring gym routines out there!

We are the "ultimate out of gym experience!" Some women come b/c they have seen our ad in the newspaper. Some women are dragged by their friends that have become regulars. However the ladies get here, they are here to stay.

Joyce (a regular Saturday participant) commented to me last weekend that she loves working out outside so much that she has quit her gym membership all together! Nice Joyce. Although this might not be the answer for everyone, many women who join our camps have a hard time dragging themselves back into the dark and smelly 4 walls of the gym.

If you haven't already, get down to 97th and 5th on Saturdays at 9am in the summer. You wont be let down. Check out the exact dates and times at http://www.nycadventurebootcamp.com/. You can do it!

WATERFALLS IN CENTRAL PARK???

A MUST SEE WHILE HIKING in the PARK

As we all know, Wednesday is "Hike Day" in Adventure Boot Camp. Listen, we don't call it "Adventure" Boot Camp for nothing right?!

Out of 19 women in the Camp, only 8 showed up today. I have a feeling it is b/c last weeks hike was a serious one and it left most campers (including myself) sore! Or perhaps b/c it felt like 100 degrees out. Whatever.

The waterfall that we camp upon was a wonderful sight to behold in the middle of the park. It can be found in the north most section of the park equivalent to about 105th street. The women reluctantly stopped and let me take the picture above(keep in mind it is only about 5:45 am at this point). I think it was worth it!

NUTRITIONIST AND DIETICIAN LECTURE!

Jackie Storm, our staff licenced Dietitian and Clinical Nutritionist gave her monthly lecture to this session's Adventure Boot Campers Monday. What a success! Each camp session we start off with a thorough lecture on the how, what, where, and whys of eating for weight loss and fitness success. Even the most educated campers walk away with tons of useful and practical information in Jackie's lectures.

Jackie skillfully dispels some common myths and taboos when it comes to healthy eating and weight loss. Since proper eating accounts for more than 80% of the results you will see from working out, this lecture is invaluable to our women. More information about Jackie Storm and what she has to offer can be found at www.JackieStorm.com.

HOME DELIVERED HEALTHY FOOD

HEALTHY MEAL DELIVERY SERVICE
NYC ADVENTURE BOOT CAMP



This NYC Boot Camp is a weight loss and fitness program. Stacy and I (Laura) have found out over 18 years of combined experience in the healthy and fitness field that FOOD is responsible for 80% of the results you get from working out. Those are staggering numbers right? Right!

We are proud to announce that we now offer a healthy meal delivery service here in NYC. Before I decided to sign on with this company and reccommend their meals to my campers, I had to try it out for myself. And guess what?? Staying up late on Sunday night cooking vats of rice and beans, grilling 3 packages of chicken, and steaming baskets of veggies is a thing of the past.

These meals come right to my door pre packaged and ready for me to take to work or to the gym or wherever! Stacy and I are so excited to finally offer this to our campers (and to our friends and relatives and non-campers as well!)

See for yourself how CHEAP this service is and how it can change your body and your life...immediately! Go to www.NYCAdventureBootCamp.com and click the link at the top of the page under "Additional Programs."

Think of how much money you spend a week on groceries? 100$ or more? If you don't food shop, like most of the people I know, think about how much you spend a week on eating out or in. You can spend 10 dollars alone on those "healthy" salad bars in delis. This healthy meal delivery service starts as little as 20$ A DAY (that's 100 a week!)

The best part is, there is no shopping, preparing, cooking, and cleaning to do! It is all done for you!

Are we crazy? Maybe. Either way you cannot pass this up. Check it out, go to and click the box belowfor all details or to get started today! Organic and Diabetic options are available!

HIKE DAY in CENTRAL PARK

HIKING at the CRACK-OF-DAWN with
NYC ADVENTURE BOOT CAMP

By now the campers are used to the 5:30 am start time. Today was no different when we went on a 3 mile hike through Central Park. These outdoor boot campers were anxious to get a "break" today, or what they thought was to be a break. Boy were they all shocked at what a great workout hiking turned out to be.

The route is based on the path that Stacy's 5 year old son Nikos lead us through one Saturday afternoon on the hunt for "bears." At a few key spots today we had the ladies stop for some step ups and wall sits and of course pushups.

It is nice to get a break from the normal class that is held at 97th and 5th. But trust me, that is never a "normal class" by any means. The workouts are designed so that we never repeat the same circuit or exercises in the same week . But still, the girls were excited to leave their dumbbells and exercise mats at home for a change.

It is such a great thing that we have the hills, valleys and greenery right in our backyard so to speak. Today's most overheard comment: "I cant believe how many people are actually here working out (or otherwise) at this hour of the morning." The park is PACKED at that time.

Today's 2nd most overheard comment: "I am starving all of the time now, is that bad?" THIS IS GREAT. THIS is your metabolism working, finally, in your favor! Because it is the 2nd week of camp and for most their 8th consecutive workout in a row, their bodies are starting to feel the difference, a reap the rewards. My campers bodies are now fat burning machines.

The body is designed to be a fat burning machine, but through years of restriction dieting, yo-yo eating, eating crap and the wrong times (actually there really is no right time to eat crap) you have sent powerful signals to the body that it wont be getting food for a while. The body listens to your signals and therefore conserves whatever left over energy it has (ie stored fat) and doesn't ignite the fire otherwise known as your metabolism!!!. Do you get it??? The less you eat the less you burn!

You must eat to loose weight. Eating the right things at the right time is the last piece of the puzzle my friends. This session's campers are seeing great results with our home delivered healthy food program. A weeks worth of meals delivered right to your door....for about 20 dollars a DAY! Check out the link on our site (top left corner http://www.nycadventurebootcamp.com/ .

Stacy and I have the meals delivered to our houses as well. Listen, if it is good for your instructors, it is going to be great for you!

NYC Adventure Boot Camp Kicks off Summer!

NYC Adventure Boot Camp for Women
Despite the rainy first day and location change, the 20 ladies are enjoying camp thus far. Week one is finally over and the first HIKE DAY in Central Park is tomorrow! The ladies have really been enjoying themselves, from what I can see when class is over at 6:30 AM. I think our most over heard comment after 8 days of class is "I am so happy to go home after work each day and not have to think about going to the gym."

I will share a quote with you from Sandy a current Camper:
"I realized that I actually like early mornings (not so much at bedtime the night before), it makes me feel good all day long. I like not having to dread the boring gym ALL day long, I can go home and do whatever I wish, almost guilt free :)"

FYI
NYC Adventure Boot Camp is an 4 week outdoor weight loss program for the busy woman. Most of our campers this session are 5-day a weekers, with only 4 3-day-a-week people. Stacy and I (Laura) like to call it "the ultimate out of gym experience."

Why would you want to drag yourself into the gym when you can hit the park in a team environment. If you are looking for a JUMP START to your fitness or workout routine go to our site at www.NYCAdventureBootCamp.com today!
