Recovering From a Cheat Meal
So how did it taste? How was your cheat meal? Were your eyes bigger than your stomach? Your stomach, after all, is not as big as it was a week ago. And did you exercise shortly before your bit meal? The most important part of today is making sure you get back on track and hit your marks. Let’s get our ducks in a row.
From the Boot Camp Barracks: On a Roll!
Boot campers Robert and Beth are on a roll. They are taking this thing SERIOUSLY! They check in, ask questions, clarify things, and then kick butt. I love the feedback and enthusiasm! Keep it up, team!
Each person has their own way of experiencing boot camp. There are people I have yet to hear from that are probably executing this program very effectively. That being said, I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you! Feedback is priceless, and I do covet yours whenever it is time for you to chime in!
From the Boot Camp Personal Trainer: Jump on the Cardio!
I was talking with Janine from VBC launch one, and she was sharing her experiences with the cardio interval program. She said that the elliptical machines have proven most worthy of the 10/15 interval, and that the recumbent bike offered very little, as did her experience with the jump rope.
As you progress with VBC, don’t be afraid to try new measures for hitting your cardio. If you are walking, try walking up some hills! If you are at the gym, try doing some a stair machine or upright bike. I would like both camps (home workouts and gym workouts) to try doing mountain climbers (showing up in an upcoming workout!) as part of their cardio day! Be on the lookout for mountain climbers!
While it is good to stick to the program, feel free to get creative with the cardio!
A Look Ahead: Increased Weight Training!
-We will be weight-training four days this week. Get geared up and get ready to tone up this week!!!
-As weight training increases, it will be a good idea to fit in an extra protein shake as a substitute for an afternoon snack IF you get in a pinch!
