Hey Everyone, As most of you know, I am passing the baton of the Lafayette Boot Camp class on to Travis and wanted to give you all one final "pump -up" email and farewell.
It has been wonderful training each and every one of you, helping you get stronger and more fit with each passing week. So many of you have reached and surpassed your fitness goals and I can't tell you how happy that makes me and how proud you should be of how hard you worked to get there. There is no magic pill that will help you lose weight or get stronger and each of you have shown your inner strength by committing to your fitness goals, sticking to your eating plans, working as hard as you possibly can at Boot Camp and giving your fitness all you can. Please keep it up and continue to set new goals and work towards even greater fitness.
Travis is an awesome trainer and will have lots of suggestions and exercises to help continue your work.
I will be at the hike on Tuesday and would love to see you there, but just in case this is our final farewell...
Take care! Stick to Boot Camp! Keep giving 110%! Eat healthy! Drink water! Live your best life!Enjoy each day! You are awesome!
In health, fun and fitness,
Lisa

Let's Keep Warm During the Cold!

From: Mike Burstein

Hello Boot Campers, (and the occasional Saturday Boot Campers!)

Just want to start off by saying great job! You guys are continuing to show 100% effort in every exercise both new and old. I can see you guys continuing to get closer and closer to your goals as each class passes, and I hope you guys are keeping your goals in mind.

I know it is harder on some mornings to show up and give 100% during the cold, but let's remember that rain or shine, we need exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle and continue to feel good about ourselves and have a positive outlook on life. It may be harder to get up during the cold weather, but remember that within 10 minutes of warming up, you guys are all warmed up and ready to go in shorts and a tank top.

I recently received some concern about the cold weather and muscles. Obviously, if it is colder outside the muscles do need more time to warm up. This is why I like to spend so much time warming up right at the beginning of class so that our muscles get warm and stay warm for the whole class. So no need to stress about that. I hope to see you all continue to show up and give 100% as the mornings get colder, and just remember how you feel after class. Keep that feeling in mind, as well as your goals and showing up each morning will get you excited for your day.

Keep up the great work,

Mike
