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.

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.

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

“KIDS Lose Weight And Get In Shape Fast With The Healthy Kids Fitness Bootcamp”

Healthy Kids Fitness Program Helps Kids Lose Weight

“With Healthy Kids Fitness Bootcamp, kids learn healthy and fun activities that last a lifetime!”

So What Is Healthy Kids Fitness Boot Camp?

Healthy Kids Fitness Boot Camp™ is an innovative and exciting program combining outdoor fitness instruction with fun and exciting martial arts drills. This program is now being offered for the first time in your area.

The program was conceived and created by self-defense and fitness instructor Michael Massie, BAAS, CPT and Master Jeff Barnes. It is the first program of its kind to combine outdoor fitness training with martial arts conditioning, so participants can maximize their results in the program.

“Why Should I Choose This Workout… Why Not Just Join A Gym or Workout at Home?”

Simple… Healthy Kids Fitness Boot Camp is a hard-core workout where people get results. Our methods will get you better results in a shorter period of time than conventional weight training or aerobics classes.

“Do You Offer Help with Nutrition?”

When you start, Healthy Kids Boot Camp provides you an easy-to-follow nutrition plan that is designed to increase your results from the program. Trainees who follow the plan report even greater fat loss and weight reduction than those who simply try to “eat right.”

You should also know that whether you choose to follow the entire nutrition plan or not, we require you to change certain eating habits in order to become a part of Healthy Kids Boot Camp. Expect your coaches and your cohort both to keep you accountable for the duration of your time with us.

“What If I Am Not Very Physically Fit?”

Honestly, you should know that this may not be the workout for everyone. It’s a fantastic workout designed to get you in shape fast.

However, we are here to help you become more fit and to show your child how to adopt a fitness lifestyle. So, if your child is willing to put in the effort, we’ll help you reach your goals regardless of your current fitness level.

“Is There Any Contact Involved?”

While we do integrate martial arts training drills into each Healthy Kids Fitness Boot Camp training session, this is not a fight class. However, we do offer that training in our other programs.

We recommend starting off with completing at least one four-week boot camp before you start learning fighting skills; after you’ve finished your first four weeks in HK Boot Camp you are welcome to start learning fighting skills in our other classes.

“How Often Does the Camp Meet?”

New participants workout two to three days a week; more advanced trainees may choose to work out more often by attending at more than one location.

“What Happens During Bad Weather?”

Indoor training sessions are the norm during bad weather days. Unlike other boot camp programs, you’ll always get your workouts in at HK Boot Camps!

Healthy Kids Boot Camp training session begins promptly at the designated start time. A schedule will be provided to recruits to let them.

“What Can I Expect to Get Out of Attending Healthy Kids Boot Camp?”

As any child who has been through training camp will tell you, the type of physical training you go through produces tremendous results in fat loss, increased strength, improved endurance, and by improving your percentage of lean body tissue.

Healthy Kids Boot Camp gets real results – so long as you faithfully attend camp and make good nutrition choices (remember, we provide you with a nutrition guide that has tips and meal suggestions to maximize your efforts) you will see results after as little as four weeks in camp.

“Will My Child Get Bored?”

What you’re really asking is, “Will my child want to quit?” The answer to that is, Healthy Kids Boot Camp will challenge your child in a way that more traditional activities like weight-lifting and aerobics can’t.

Experience has taught us that Healthy Kids Boot Camp™ training methods get results in a much shorter period of time than conventional workouts – so your child’s results will be what keeps you motivated and coming to class.

“How Many People Will Be In My Healthy Kids Boot Camp?”

We strive to keep our trainee-to-coach ratio at around 15-to-1. However, group participation will vary from 10 to 25 participants on any given day. We have found that the bigger the group, the more fun you will have during training!

“How Much Does the Camp Cost?”

Personal trainers typically charge $50 to $250 per hour for their services, yet you’ll be receiving instruction from our certified boot camp fitness trainers for just a fraction of that cost.

Each Healthy Kids Boot Camp location sets their own rates, which allows each location to offer competive rates while still keeping program quality high.

Typically, our clients end up paying less than half what it would cost to hire the cheapest trainer at one of the big box gyms around town, and the typical 4-week boot camp costs about $600 to $1,200 less than 12 one-on-one sessions with an elite trainer like Coach Massie.

Plus, you’ll have the added benefit of going through the same training with other people in your cohort – that’s a benefit no one-to-one program can match.

But if you’re looking for cheaper training, the bottom line is…

Do you want a bargain, or do you want to get in shape?

What You Get With A Healthy Kids Boot Camp…

With Healthy Kids, you get so much more than “just a workout.” In fact, your Boot Camp tuition includes:

Four weeks of waist-trimming, fat-burning, body-toning workouts! And, the workouts always change so you never get bored!

Unlimited email access to instructors during the camp… so you can ask us any fitness or nutritional questions you have – we’re here to help!

What do kids learn from karate

With ‘Back To School’, parents look for programs to get their children involved.

What do kids REALLY learn from ‘karate’ or martial arts lessons?

Instead of ‘sales pitch’ I wanted to let you know what other parents are saying about our program. It is my hope that you will help spread the word about our program and the benefits children can receive and parents expect from a well-organized school.

“My Grand-daughter has come out of her shell. Before she wouldn’t talk to anyone. After learning martial arts from Community Martial Arts, she is more talkative and open to relate with others.”

“My son had discipline problems at school. After attending Community Martial Arts, he is doing better in school and getting better grades.”

“I have two grandchildren in this program. I am seeing positive results and the beginnings of proper discipline.”

“We were able to see results in our son after one class”

“Our son has anger problems. This class has helped him control his anger and deal with issue in a healthy way”

“We have five children in the program and we are seeing a difference. They say ‘Yes Sir’ and ‘Yes Ma’am’ which has helped a lot at home.”

“We struggled to get our son to do well in class, he loves Community Martial Arts so much that he does well in school just so he won’t miss a class”

This is where you come in… I want to reward you for telling others about our program. We recently did a ‘Back To School’ pencil blitz having our students spread the word about our program by sharing Community Martial Arts pencils with their classmates.  So, I am going to make a VERY, VERY special deal for you our parents…

If you refer a student who joins one of our programs, I am going to give you a choice of $50 cash OR a Free Month of lessons! That is my way of saying THANKS!
