Our fellow boot camper, Jennifer Forker, was on Colorado Public Radio the other day, telling a story about her run with another woman on New Year's Day. You must listen as the story has relevance to all of our lives. I want to be Connie (and Jennifer)! That is why I offer boot camp to women of all ages and fitness abilities, and that is why I do boot camp myself!
"Here's What Happened - Catch Connie!


YAY Spring!!! That means we get to be outdoors ALOT!!!! And that means running !!!! (Well, for some of us that is really exciting..). Anyway, tomorrow's workout involves running. Around the neighborhood to the north. And some other things that occur at randomly spaced orange cones. If you CAN'T run there wll be a workout for you at the gym (CAN'T being the operative word here.)

Now that it is Spring.....remember those INSPIRATIONS you created after the new year?  Pull them out, refresh your memory, brush the dust off your shoulders and let's get going!!!!! The summer is upon us, and that means there are lots of hikes,bikes, races and fun to be had outside. And that is what we are training for, to be better, faster and stronger in our lives outside of the gym.  Email me your Inspirations so I can help empower you to achieve them!!!!

So many Shout-Outs: Liz: 18 box jumps, 16" box, Shannon and Brenda: complete kb half-getups!, Julie and Karen:  Rx'd Fight Gone Bad for the 1st time!Vicki: up 4# in wall ball, 9# in sdhp and push press, up 4" in box height, Jeanne: up 4# in wall ball, up 18# in sdhp and push press and 4" in box height. Trina, Michelle, Gerri, Marcie, Jen M., moved up a row, Janet: up 2# in wall ball!

Just a little boot camp lovin':

Shout-Outs: Pam performed 15 consecutive body rows which improved her previous amount by 10! Paulette, Suzanne and Jeanne did a headstand for the first time!

I post these Shout-Outs to recognize all of the achievements you women are realizing in boot camp on a regular basis. How fun is that??!! We repeat essential movements in our workouts so that you can see RESULTS. You lift more weight; you lift it better. You gain more endurance; you move faster. You do something in boot camp that challenges you, that scares you, that you have never done before and that you do want to do better; it transforms YOU. In every way. I see it occur in every class, every day.

Boot camp is YOUR hour. You give yourself permission to tune into your body, your mind, your courage, your strength, your talent and your self-worth (just to name a few). Where else during your day do you take the time to live in the moment and be totally you?

Keep coming back. To you. In boot camp. You are worth it.

Beginning April 2nd, the 8:00 boot camp class will be doing their Friday workouts at Red Rocks Amphitheatre! Come and join us!
