Evansville Fitness Boot Camp

1. Helps You Push Yourself Beyond Your Own Limits
Most people rarely push themselves. Working out with an exercise professional will. We certainly won’t do anything to cause you physical injury, but we will push you to work harder than you normally would on your own. This helps you build stronger muscles faster, develop better endurance, and accelerate your fitness and weight loss goals.

2.  You Will Get Quick Results
Our unique program can help you burn up to 800 calories in just one 45-minute class. We use many different physical activities such as Band training, Ball exercises, Kettlebells, Calisthenics, Plyometrics, Kickboxing routines, and Resistance Training. This combination of exercises will boost results much quicker than typical exercises and workout classes. Matter of fact, students have lost tons of weight and inches within just one week!

3. Cheaper than a Personal Trainer
Get all the benefits of a personal trainer, with less than a third of the cost. Mount Vernon and Evansville’s Fitness Boot Camp is much more cost effective than hiring a personal trainer. Because the boot camp is conducted in a small group of 15-20 people per class period, we can extend to the participants much cheaper prices….but still provide you with all the benefits of a personal trainer. It doesn’t get better than that.

4. A Valuable Support Group
Much like any program where people are all going through the same thing together, a common bond is formed. Mount Vernon and Evansville Boot Camp is no different, you will form friendships within your group. This helps you stick with your workout program, and provides you with accountability partners that will keep you motivated and help you stay on track.

Fighting Fit2 Boot Campers Kick Off

The Fighting Fit Fitness Boot Camp has officially kicked off!

Participants began their 30 day journey to a healthier, happier lifestyle!

New boot camp members began their night with a weigh-in and getting their measurements taken. This is so that from day one to the end of the boot camp, we can track each member’s progress.

Each member receives the Fighting Fit Fitness Boot Camp guide that helps them track food, set proper nutrition goals, and log their daily fitness achievements. This program helps students every step of the way!

If you were to pay a personal trainer, you would pay three times the cost of this program for similar training. This program is great and affordable for anyone seeking a healthier and happier lifestyle!

The workouts are self paced which allows the boot campers to set their own personal fitness goals while still being able to keep up with other members of the class.

“Anybody can do this no matter your current fitness level.”

So…

What are you waiting for? You have one more opportunity to join this month before we close the doors for this current boot camp. Next Monday at 7:30 PM, we will be having our next official weigh in. Take this opportunity to evaluate your current health and fitness level.

Take my 30 day challenge and join my boot camp! If you don’t see results, then you get a full refund!

Starting in October, we will be offering a 3 month pack of boot camp sessions. For those members that join in that program, I will be giving away a FREE CRUISE!

Do you want to lose weight or help your children lose weight?

I hear a lot about losing weight on a daily basis, now that obesity is being recognized as an increasing problem. Seems to me that it should be more important now than ever. Overweight kids often try things like the South Beach Diet, Atkins Diet, or even pills to lose weight. Believe me, I have tried these weight loss programs myself. They rarely if ever have long term sustainable results. Sure they look great on the infomercial… but what will give me the long term results I need?

So what is the quick and easy answer to losing weight?

Diet and exercise of course.

Everyone knows that a healthy diet and regular exercise are the big answers to losing weight and staying at a healthy weight. I can tell you many of the reasons for our ever growing health problems that is causing more kids and adults to be overweight:

• fast food
• larger portion sizes
• increased inactivity
  

Nobody is going to find one single thing that they can easily change and make fewer children overweight.

For most people, it is a combination of all of these things.

And so the problem is more how do get your children motivated to eat healthier and exercise. That’s the hard part. Even if you can get motivated to start eating better and exercising more, keeping it up is even harder.

That is where I come in!

The Fighting Fit Boot Camp and the Healthy Kids Boot Camp will keep the workouts fun, all while keeping you accountable to a training and work out regemin.

To keep you on track, I have a simple and easy to follow manual so you can start your journey to a happier, healthier you! I guarantee your results!

Not only will your kids have fun, the work outs will burn fat and tone the body. Your kids will lose weight and feel great!

If you are interested in joining the upcoming boot camp, be sure to call me at 812-437-5425.

Kettle Bells are an awesome way to get in shape quickly

Last night, Jennifer and I trekked out  and purchased our first round of fitness equipment, resistance bands, and other equipment for the fitness boot camps we will be launching in the very near future.

We believe we will be launching the first class September 9th to bypass all the distraction from the Labor Day weekend.

Kettle Bells are the new rage for core body and strength training. The process of lifting builds the muscles quickly as well and helps with grip strength in the hands. Kettle Bell training also burns calories which aid in weight loss.

We bought resistance bands which are highly beneficial to add strength training to your work out. Resistance bands are great because they give you an even resistance through the entire work out.

We also picked up exercise balls which are awesome to help build core muscles for abs and back. We will use them in our workouts to encourage safe ab, back, and chest building exercises.

If you haven’t guessed it, I am pretty excited about this new program. Not only is it going to be great for overall weight loss, it is a complete system of weight loss and nutrition that will help you manage it every step of the way. I don’t know if you have priced out a personal trainer before, but I will tell you that to get the same benefits that you would receive from this program using a personal trainer, you would be paying two to three times the price as this program and you probably wouldn’t get a good nutrition plan.

Included in the package for new boot campers is our Fighting Fit Nutrition Planner. Each student receives a free copy. Normally purchased for $30. This manual is fantastic and helps you manage your training and food intake on a daily basis. Simply put, this program is ‘done for you.’ All you have to do is follow the directions.

So, if you are interested in our phenominal boot camp for weight loss, strength training and overall body conditioning, then contact me at 812-437-5425 or visit http://www.mountvernonbootcamp.com.

Phote from Rodale dot com

According to the latest childhood obesity statistics from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, “16 percent of children and adolescents ages 6-19 years are overweight.”

That is roughly 1 in every six kids is either obese or on the verge of childhood obesity. What these numbers show is that it will only get worse in the near future.

This is why so many health experts talk about the childhood obesity epidemic.

This is one of the major reasons why we are launching the Fighting Fit Fitness Boot Camps as well as the new Healthy Kids Fitness Boot Camps at our school. These programs are designed to improve overall health and fitness while building the right habits for the future.

About.com’s Childhood Obesity Risk Factors

Looking at the risk factors for obesity, especially poor eating habits and inactivity, can help you understand who’s to blame for the rise in childhood obesity:

• Nutrition - many overweight children are eating oversized portions and too many of the wrong foods, including:
  • High-Fat Foods
  • High Calorie Foods
  • Junk Food
  • Juice and Soda
• Physical Activity - a lack of physical activity is another big risk factor for childhood obesity
• Genetics - a family history of obesity
• Sleep - you might think that sleeping too much would increase your child’s risk of childhood obesity, but surprisingly, many studies show that not getting enough sleep increases the risk of childhood obesity.

Preventing Childhood Obesity

Although you can’t change genetics, you can work to change all of the other risk factors for childhood obesity. These resources should help:

• Understanding Child Nutrition
• Healthy Food
• Reading Food Labels
• Healthy Snacks for Kids
• Low Fat Foods
• Soda and Drink Guidelines
• Healthy Family Grocery Lists
• Low-Fat Milk
• Active Free Play
• Youth Sports
• Kids and TV
• Childhood Insomnia

Taking our childhood obesity quiz might also be helpful for parents trying to fight and prevent childhood obesity.

Is Your Child Overweight?

Do you know if your child is overweight?

Surprisingly, a lot of parents of overweight children don’t actually know they are overweight.

You can find out by asking your pediatrician to calculate your child’s body mass index or BMI, a formula that can help determine if your child is overweight, underweight, or at a healthy weight. Or use this online BMI calculator if you know your child’s current weight and height.

Calculating a child’s BMI is also important for all of those children who are already at a healthy weight, but think that they are overweight and may have an eating disorder.

Weight Loss

If your child is overweight, you should likely work with your pediatrician and/or a registered dietitian to help him lose weight, especially since overweight teenagers have a 70% chance of becoming overweight adults.

Having specific weight loss goals, in addition to more specific advice on how to eat healthier and how much more active they need to be, can also be helpful.

With these weight loss goals in mind, you can now try to help your child reach those goals by:

• encouraging moderate physical activity for at least 60 minutes on most days
• decreasing the amount of screen time to less than two hours a day, which includes time spent on the computer, watching TV, and playing video games
• figuring out how many calories your child needs with this calorie calculator
• understanding that there are about 3,500 calories in a pound of fat
• keeping a drink diary to help reduce how many calories your child is getting from sugary drinks
• learn to choose healthy food for your child to eat, including fruits and vegetables, and teach him to make healthy choices when he eats away from home
• make sure he is eating healthy snacks, so that snack time doesn’t turn into an extra meal
• encouraging your child to get a good nights sleep, keeping in mind that teens need about 9 hours of sleep, children between the ages of 6 and 12 need about 10 to 11 hours of sleep, and that preschoolers and toddlers need even more.
• moving up your weight loss goals after a few months if your child still needs to lose weight and has been successful with his initial goals. For example, some overweight teens will need to lose about two pounds every month or week to get to a healthy weight.

Most importantly, encourage healthy eating and a healthy weight instead of pushing “dieting” on your child.

Risks of Childhood Obesity

With the increase in childhood obesity comes an increase in a number of diseases and conditions that are associated with obesity. Some of the health effects of childhood obesity include:

• insulin resistance
• type 2 diabetes mellitus
• hypertension
• obstructive sleep apnea
• nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (fatty liver)
• poor self-esteem
• adult obesity
