Running Club Boot Camp

How's it going out there? Alright soldiers Spring is here and Summer is on the way. I have put together a Running Club program mix with my Boot Camp program. This program will definitely require you to be committed and focus so that results can be acheived. The program will be 8 weeks long, 4 times per week, 2 times running and 2 times weight training. Most of the meets are going to be outdoors and class time will be 6am-7:15am. The time of day for the classes will help you jump-start your day and keep you away from the heat. The schedule date for the start of program is April 26, 2010. One thing I want everyone to keep in mind is that this program is for beginners, fitness enthusiasts & the advance. If you did'nt get a chance to participate in my past Boot Camps this is your chance. I'm looking for all of you to join me and have some fun this spring.

Big & Beautiful?...Maybe not

Lately I’ve been reading a lot of empowering “curvy is beautiful” stories in the press and seeing TV segments devoted to why it’s healthy to have a “real woman’s body,” all of which is code for the “overweight is OK” movement. And you know what my reaction is? Why are we telling people—and women in particular!—stuff that simply isn’t true?

The truth is, it isn’t OK to be overweight—even just 20 pounds overweight. And not just for the usual reasons everyone has heard before—that pudginess increases your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc.

What you should know is that being “a real woman” or “curvy,” as some like to call it, makes it more likely that you’ll get lousy medical treatment. That’s right: You may have a harder time getting health insurance or you may have to pay higher premiums for having a not-so-flat belly. You’re also less likely to have cancer detected early—and if they do find cancer, you’re less likely to get the best treatment for the disease.

Muscles are a good thing

While on a weight lifting program, the right hormones (testosterone) are necessary in order to bulk up. Women’s testosterone levels are much lower than men’s, so in most cases, they are not capable of building large muscles. In fact, since muscle takes up less room than fat, women tend to lose inches when they strength train. So in addition to the physical benefits (increased metabolism, decreased risk of osteoporosis, increased strength), strength training will help you slim down too! Women, in fact, are more likely to tone up from strength training rather than bulk up. Research shows that women can add up to 30% lean muscle and end up looking thinner, feeling stronger and being firmer.

Our society and pop culture seem to associate weight training with oversized muscles, but that’s just one avenue, which is extremely difficult for most people (including men) to achieve.

Women with an intense fear of becoming large (likely due to these images and myths) as a result of weight training are at a disadvantage when it comes to their health. The problem most women run into isn’t building too much muscle, but not building enough. This sets them up for increased risk of osteoporosis later in life, as well as a reduction in muscle mass of about 2-5% per year, which has an adverse affect on metabolism (and can result in weight gain).
