Why you absoloutley need a Marketing Plan-Calgary

Without marketing your business will fail. In contrast, if you’ve got the marketing part down, you can sell ice to Eskimos.

We easily can see just how vital marketing is to our online businesses. Some may argue that it’s even more important than what the business actually has to offer. If it’s that important, then why do so many people go into business without a marketing plan? I can think of three reasons. 

We forget.

Simply put, we just don’t think about it. We’re so caught up in shaping and creating our businesses, that we don’t think about what’s going to happen after its all setup and ready to go. People – part of your business should include a marketing plan! I believe that neglecting to even think about marketing is a primary reason why so many online businesses fail, including blogs.

The main goal is to get you in the best shape possible in the least amount of time. Most of the programs are offered to everyone, while others cater exclusively to women only. A fitness boot camp for women can be a great way to get back into shape while having fun at the same time.

Here are 10 great reasons and benefits to join a fitness boot camp for women:

1). Get motivated and get going, perfection is the lowest standard. Any women think they have to “be in shape” to join a Boot Camp which is absolutely not true.

2). Some women are self-conscious of their body image prior to joining. Weight loss and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are important, but just as important is finding a comfortable environment to workout.

3). They provide women with the time to bond and share common interests that they may not experience with non group workout classes. Women can feel comfortable joining solo or with their friends.

4). Women tend to be less competitive than men; therefore, the atmosphere in the boot camp workouts while serious tend to be more relaxed.

5). The nature of program is very focused and goal-oriented. Making a boot camp into a routine with the same group of people over time means that everyone is motivated to attain their fitness goals..

6). Fitness boot camps for tend to be more welcoming and less intimidating for women of all shapes and sizes.

7). You can have fun getting into shape and work towards your goal of either being healthier or losing weight. They can be held indoors or outdoors for maximum workout benefits.

8). If you don’t exercise regularly, jump start your fitness by getting into a routine and making it a regular part of your lifestyle. Women have busy lives and it’s difficult to make time for themselves. Making a regular fitness class over time will help you achieve a more balanced lifestyle in the long-term.

9). It’s a great way to make new friends and network with one another.

10). Aspire to the next level. Once you achieve success with your first workout, you’ll want to take your newly found fitness level and try a more advanced workout. This prevents your body from plateauing and ensures that you continue to push your body to get even more results. Once you start, don’t stop!

In the end, my advice is to first check out the camp you are interested. Do the play music during your session to make the program more fun? (Imagine working out to dead silence-for an hour!). Above all, you should look for an instructor who makes you feel motivated, encouraged, and energized. For some, this may mean a military type style workout. For others, it may be something less overwhelming. Find something that suits your comfort zone, get started, and train safe!

When the New Year's resolution calls for getting in shape fast, joining a gym and pushing yourself hard every day probably won't happen. What will work? Having someone scream, "Drop and give me 20!"

Fitness boot camps may be one of the fastest ways to go from zero to fit. The setup is simple enough: A trainer leads a group of clients through an intense hour of cardio and functional-strength training. The secret lies in the circuit-style workout that toggles between cardio and muscle building. This leaves little if any down time, and the shuffling of routines prevents boredom and exercise ruts. For people willing to put in the work, boot camps enable exercisers to see results quickly, the better to stay motivated.

"It's a very efficient workout because you're working your whole body in a short period of time," says Cedric Bryant, chief science officer for the American Council on Exercise. "It's fun, and the exercises are different, so you're not going to get bored."

Los Angeles-based actor Ed Stanley made his New Year's resolution to get fit a year ago, joining Boot Camp L.A., a nearly decade-old program that takes place six days a week at the park by the Page Museum on the Miracle Mile. Stanley wasn't happy with the ever-increasing size of his waist.

"I knew that I needed to be accountable," he says. "But I didn't expect it to be fun. It's challenging, but it's also fun."

He now takes pride in pushing himself to achieve athletic goals he didn't think possible. "I never thought of myself as an athlete," he says. "But I ran a 5K within a month of starting boot camp. And I thought, 'I really have to start looking at what I tell myself.' "

Stanley says he lost about 15 pounds in two months. "After about three weeks, I looked in the mirror and noticed my body was starting to transform."

Teammates

Boot camps have some special features. Many are held outdoors and often incorporate common environmental features such as stairs or ledges for cardio as well as functional exercises using only body weight or free weights. Encouragement comes not just from the instructor but also from the other participants, who cheer and clap for fellow campers. And people are often paired or grouped for friendly competitions, fostering a camaraderie and support not usually found in regular fitness classes.

That camaraderie strengthens with time, establishing accountability, something fitness experts say is essential for sticking with a program. After you establish a presence in the program, other participants expect you to show up — and they may call if you don't. While some people sign up for only one or two monthlong sessions to get in decent shape before moving onto other sports and activities, others stay for years. Weight loss depends on diet, metabolism and how much effort is put into class, but can be maintained by continuing to take part in boot camp, or segueing into something else.

"It definitely helps push people," says Allan Fine, Fitness Boot Camps Canada founder in Calgary Alberta. "If we're doing stair drills and someone is tired, someone else will say, 'Let's go slowly, and I'll go with you.' "

"I've seen people say, 'I'll see you here tomorrow' — and they shake on it," says Fine, who has been at the helm of FBCC's Bootcamp in Calgary since 2004. He's expanded his boot camp to other locations (where sessions are led by other instructors) and a series of DVDs, but he still commands the troops at his indoor studio, putting men and women through their grueling but enthusiastic paces every day.

"Boot camp means commitment," Fine says. "You can join a gym and not go, but if you sign up for boot camp for a month it tells you where to be five days a week. The workout is hard, but you could never do this on your own. You can't go to the gym and duplicate this."

Some newcomers, or potential newcomers, are intimidated by the programs. Fine says they shouldn't be.

Classes are filled with many first-timers or people who haven't exercised in a while, especially in January, he points out. "This is not triathlete boot camp; this is regular-people boot camp. If you were in great shape, you'd be the trainer," says Fine, adding he modifies exercises for those with bad knees or weak backs.

Boot camps do share one thing with other fitness programs: muscle soreness.

That probably can't be avoided, but, Fine says, it shouldn't be bad enough to derail fitness plans. "The fact is, if you haven't done anything, there's no way around being sore. It's something everyone has to go through. But if you're feeling like you can't get out of bed, you can. The first week is the worst week, but after that you're going to feel great. Take a couple of Advil."

Despite the moniker, most boot camps aren't anything like the real deal. Instructors may be tough and demanding, but we don't call clients "maggot" and push people until they vomit.

Fine has a 22 year background as a Fitness and life coach.

Old dogs, new tricks

Boot camps have become such an indelible part of the fitness culture, having proved their get-you-into-shape-fast effectiveness over the last decade or so, they've spawned a host of variations. Boot camps take advantage of the sand and water; bridal boot camps help brides fit into their gowns. Some are geared toward women, children or seniors, and others are sports-specific. Each location and instructor brings a different environment or atmosphere.

Finding a suitable boot camp may take a few tries — the setting may feel uncomfortable or the instructor might not be a good fit. If you'd really rather slug the instructor or if you're bored by him or her, the class won't do much good. Although instructors should do a health screening for new students, participants themselves should be up front about any injuries or chronic conditions.

Fine says boot camp is not something to be entered into lightly — preparation is key. "Make sure you get adequate rest and that you get adequate nutrition — those things are going to impact how enjoyable the actual workout is going to be."

He adds that über-competitive former athlete types may need to check their egos at the door. "They need to be man or woman enough to back off and not attempt to keep up with everyone. Maybe you don't do every exercise that everyone else is doing, and you can't be so prideful that you say, 'I'm going to do it even if it kills me.' "

"That you continue to show up and enjoy it is half the battle," Allan says. "It's hard, yes, but people are having a great time."

You can win the battle of the holiday bulge

By Martha Worboy, For Canwest News Service

This holiday season, Julia Grieve plans to keep her energy levels high and weight gain at bay with a little strategic planning that includes eating well and drinking plenty of water.

Photograph by: Hugh Wesley, Canwest News Service

This holiday season, Julia Grieve plans to keep her energy levels high and weight gain at bay. But don't think that the 38-year-old mother and chief executive officer of Preloved — a popular line of redesigned vintage clothing — intends to avoid holiday socializing.

With a little strategic planning that includes an early morning jog three times a week, Grieve aims to go out, eat right and feel great.

As a Toronto-based mother of three children under 10, Grieve says she has no time to feel sluggish.

"For me now, it's about how I feel. I can't feel hungover or bloated after a night out."

But she admits she didn't always plan towards a healthy holiday season.

"I always go to a lot of parties and I never used to think about it. But without fail, I would suffer in January. You put on five or 10 pounds and you don't really feel so great," she says.

Many people deal with the yuletide season by eating and drinking their way mindlessly through the holidays, according to Nicole Springle, a registered dietitian at Cleveland Clinic Canada in Toronto.

Alternatively, they'll rationalize their eating in ways that are counter to their bodies' needs.

"People will skip meals for a big meal," Springle says. "Or they'll go to a party after work and haven't had anything between lunch and the party. Then, they're starving so they'll fill up on high-calorie food."

Springle says it's important to eat regular, balanced meals and snacks throughout the day to maintain blood sugar levels and avoid cravings of the sweet and salty kind.

She encourages skipping the seasonal sweets and snacking regularly on protein mixed with complex, fibre-rich carbohydrates such as dried fruit and nuts or an apple and some low fat cheese, and sticking to the four food groups at meal time.

Calgary life coach and personal trainer Allan Fine suggests not only eating regularly but having a small meal before heading out to a party.

"If you show up hungry, your chances of overeating are huge," he says.

Fine also points out the common problem of sweets and leftovers from holiday festivities being passed around the workplace.

"People will give you tons of sweets this time of year. Have one or two, that's fine, but don't stand by the water cooler with a buddy eating a box of them," he says.

A little self-supervision can go a long way in the battle of the holiday bulge. But it's tough to stick to a plan when you're being pressured to consume for weeks on end.

What do you say to your mother-in-law during Christmas dinner when you haven't cleaned your plate?

"Tell her 'I'm stuffed, can I take it home?'" Fine says. "Don't worry about eating everything in one meal. The thing you want to avoid saying is 'I'm stuffed, roll me out of here.'"

And be prepared to plan ahead, says Springle.

"Allow yourself to have treats but think about it beforehand. How much will I have? What is OK? If you go in with one plan, it's easier to stick to."

But it's not all about the food we consume, it's also about the energy we burn off. And although people might struggle with the hectic pace of the holiday season, Fine says there's always time to integrate exercise into the mix.

"Don't wait until New Year's," Fine says. "There's no reason not to join a gym now."

If you're not a gym person, it's important to find other ways to stay active. Fine encourages people to join a group fitness program or hire a personal trainer instead.

Even if you hate formal exercise programs, there are still ways to keep your body moving.

Take the stairs in your office building instead of using the elevator and don't park close to work, Fine suggests.

The bottom line?

"Workout and take care of yourself so you can enjoy yourself when you want to," Fine says.

Party tips from registered dietitian Nicole Springle:

You're at a party and the food and drinks are coming at you in all directions. Rather than accept everything you're offered, follow these tips to make wise and waist-friendly choices — and still enjoy a few indulgences along the way.

- If you arrive at a party hungry, try to fill your plate initially with fruits and vegetables (this will help fill you up so you won't be tempted to eat too many truffles or tarts).

- A soup or a salad will also help fill you up at the beginning of a meal.

- At a cocktail party, don't stand by the appetizer table or you may find yourself eating mindlessly.

- Decide ahead of time what appetizers and desserts you're going to sample, and stick to your plan.

- Try not to eat off the trays at a buffet table, and limit yourself to one plate only.

- Be attentive to what you eat. Savour the food and enjoy it but don't just keep your hands busy while mingling.

- Monitor your drinking. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger.

- Alcoholic drinks can be high in calories. Pace yourself with water.

- The body takes about 20 minutes to feel full. If you're racing through your plate, you're not giving yourself time to feel full.

- Research shows the first bite and the last bite are the most enjoyable; the rest is filler. You probably don't need as much as you think.

1. More Rising Fitness Role Models For Generation Y

In 2010, you're going to see more rising fitness role models for Generation Y. My hat
goes off to Taylor Lautner from the new movie New Moon who got into
outstanding condition for his role as Jacob Black. What really struck home
was the reaction of all the younger girls whispering and giggling when
a shirtless Taylor appeared. I could even sense an energy amongst the young males in the
crowd who could relate to the fit actor on screen who gained about 30 pounds of muscle
mass for this role.

There have been a lot of actors who have got into great shape for blockbuster movies…
Hugh Jackman, Ryan Reynolds, Brad Pitt and Daniel Craig but not actors for Generation
Y that younger guys could connect with at a deeper level. I don't think young teens can
relate to Arnold in Terminator or Brad Pitt in Troy but I believe Taylor will change that
in New Moon. You're going to see a lot more young movie stars muscling up in 2010 and
inspiring a younger generation of teens to muscle up and get fit.

2. Rise Of The Boot Camps

The boot camp trend is going to continue to rise and compete successfully against
commercial gyms. Boot camps appeal to the one thing that even Bill Gates cannot buy
more of – time. I believe high-intensity boot camp workouts will continue to increase
because people are experiencing less and less time. Boot camps can combine three of the
most critical components of fitness – high intensity training, interval training, body
weight training – all into a fat incinerating, muscle-building, metabolism boosting
workout that lasts only 20-30 minutes. Outdoor and indoor boot camps will continue to
rise across Canada and the USA.

Everyone Will Have A Personal Trainer  and Life coach

Just like you have your own accountant, mechanic and dentist, I believe that everyone
will eventually have their own personal fitness trainer and or  life coach. Each year 1-on-1
personal training has continued to become one of the fastest growing professions and I
believe it's because prospects are valuing expert guidance and motivation. Personal
training is no longer for just the financially wealthy or for celebrity movie stars.
Prospects are going to recognize the wise investment in their long-term health, the power
of accountability and getting a higher quality workout.

Lastly, Let's talk about my newest passion SEO ( Search Engine Optimization). Having designed and attended my own websites for the last 10 years , you have to become pretty knowledgeable about many website things.  One of the biggest news is website SEO or getting your website to rank on Google on page#1 and hopefully #1 on that page. That is what I have done with the Boot Camp Website
There's so much more to say and I have to get out to teach Boot Camp so Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

This is why I do the boot camp program and I get such a kick when lives are changed.

Your body and its state of physical fitness are your most important assets. You should always remember that it is always easier to keep healthy, then to regain your health. Of course, it can also be cheaper to stay healthy then to get treated medically. Thus, it is imperative for everyone to take steps to keep their bodies physically fit and in shape. However, fitness is a diverse concept. In order to be considered as fit, you have to reduce your weight to its normal levels, you have to increase your cardiovascular endurance, you have to increase your strength and you have to undergo resistance training. However, all of this can be very difficult to do, especially if you don’t know how to proceed.

In the beginning, many people try to achieve fitness on their own with the information that they learn from the media and the Internet. But, mostly this can be a futile effort as achieving fitness requires effort, motivation and finesse in order for you to succeed. You can’t hope to combine the proper exercises in their proper intensity levels. Thus, you would need something like a personal fitness instructor to help you along the way. Of course, hiring a personal fitness instructor can be an expensive method, since you would have to pay at least $100 to $150 per hour to keep a fitness instructor. You can easily see that the bills can pile up very quickly.

However, you don’t need to worry as you have another viable alternative. This viable alternative is to go enroll in a fitness boot camp. Fitness Boot Camps Canada is a special fitness camp with several fitness instructors who channel your efforts to create the best possible fitness for yourself. In a boot camp, you will be able to have many benefits for attaining fitness such as:

1. Working in a group environment to attain fitness

2. Getting help from your fitness instructors on difficult fitness techniques

3. Getting motivated from your group members and from your instructors

4. Being able to do group fitness activities

5. Your meals are kept under control in a fitness boot camp

6. Your sleep and your rest periods are also regulated for best results

7. Your fitness achievements (such as your weight, your cardiovascular endurance, your resistance strength etc) are continuously measured in order to track your progress.

8. Whenever you don’t feel up to it, a fitness boot camp can make sure that you continue your fitness program without giving up

9. A fitness boot camp can be much more cheaper than hiring a personal fitness instructor, as you can continue with only $100 to $350 per month on most fitness boot camps

10. You can make sure that you always have the help you need in a group setting.

So, as you can see, Fitness Boot Camps Canada can be the perfect solution for your weight loss as well as your fitness needs. So, then you may ask yourself on how to find the best fitness boot camp for yourself. Well, the best way is to make sure that you look on the Internet to find the best fitness boot camps in your area. Then you can easily talk to them and examine the various programs that they offer. Or another way on how to find the best fitness boot camp can be to ask around to your friends and neighbors on the fitness camps that they may have used.

Make sure that you go and visit the relevant fitness boot camp before you enroll. You have to be certain that their program and their instructors are compatible with your needs. However, don’t make the mistake of going to a fitness boot camp that doesn’t really force you to attain your best. You will need some gentle pushing and encouragement in order to make sure that you get your level of fitness that you desire. Don’t forget that achieving fitness and weight loss requires patience and diligence for you to be successful and this can be best achieved in a fitness boot camp.

What is the Fitness Boot Camps Canada Adventure?

A four-week minimum outdoor (indoor in winter) program of fitness instruction, nutritional counseling and motivational training. You will be inspired and have fun while participating in a fantastic workout led by Certified Fitness Boot Camps Canada Fitness Trainers. Each day, camp will be one hour in length starting at 5:30 , 12 noon downtown. or 530 pm. New locations and times are opening on a regular basis as we expand.

1. Step 1

   First, remember that holiday time always involves tons of sweets. You will likely receive many different types of sweets as gifts, as will your family members. Your workplace will likely be full of sweets everywhere you look. It is very hard to resist partaking in some, if not all of these. Make sure to pack your own snacks. It's OK to have 1 or 2 , but not the whole box.

2. Step 2

   During times like this, it is even more important to eat all of your food mindfully. Just make it a point to be very much aware of everything that you are putting into your mouth. Don't just stand next to the water cooler chatting with a coworker while you pop truffles in your mouth that someone put out to share. Don't just gobble the whole box of chocolates that someone gave you just to "finish the box." Eat slowly and mindfully.

3. Step 3

   If someone gives you a gift of sweets, try to have the willpower to get them out of your house without even touching any. Consider bringing them to work or to your church to share, re-gift them or just walk into some charitable organization and hand it over with the the hopes that they will give it someone who doesn't have. If you feel obligated to sample some of what you were given, don't sample it at a time when you may end up eating the whole thing. Sample it right before you put it out in the break room at work, then quickly walk away.

4. Step 4

   Be very aware of how calories work. A small truffle could easily have 100 calories. so 10 are 1000 calories that will just turn into fat .That's enough energy to run about a 10 miles. Will you really be running a mile (or 10 )after work? If you eat the whole box of truffles, something I know I could easily do, you could easily have enough energy to run an entire marathon. Will you be doing that? In a sense, calories are calories. If you eat too many sweets in a day, compensate for that by eating as low-calorie and as low-fat as you possibly can for the rest of the day. Also do as much exercise as you can, even if it's just marching in place while watching TV.

5. Step 5

   Don't adopt a self-defeating and illogical mindset. Don't say, "Well, my diet is already shot to hell, so I might as well eat all the candy." That is just silly. Don't say, "OK, I'll just pig out between now and New Years Day, because on January 1 I am going to start the strictest diet that I've ever been on in my life." There is nothing magical about Jan 1 as a good day to start a diet. The right time is right now, even if you just finished a whole box of cookies.

6. Step 6

   Try to remember that even if you follow a diet perfectly, you will still only lose about 2 pounds per week on average (not counting initial water weight loss which doesn't involve fat loss). If you gain 10 pounds over the holidays, you are probably looking at at least 5 weeks of very strict dieting and exercise. Will you really do that, or will you get off track no later than Valentine's Day when more sweets come your way?

7. Step 7

   It is very, very hard to not gain weight over the holidays, but you don't have to agree in advance that you will, which many people do. You can honestly sneak past the holidays with little or no weight gain. Just try to be mindful and in control, and remember that there is never a wrong moment to eat healthy and exercise. Each moment is a new beginning. Jan 1 is only a calendar year beginning. It is not the first moment of the rest of your life, which is right now.

8. Hire a trainer, it amazes me that people think of nothing to spend $3000 or $4000 on a 1 week vacation but won't consider hiring someone that can really show them how to to care of their health the rest of their lives.You have to look at it as a investment in your health and future. What would your life be like if you lost all the weight you wanted or really got in great shape?

One Flu Over Calgary…. Hey, Was That A flying Pig?

So, do you think you have to be crazy to be concerned about the Swine Flu? A Calgary flu epidemic is just as likely as anywhere else and your health is what is at risk.

I’m not suggesting you have to go “crazy fanatical” about protecting yourself. The common sense things like – keeping your hands off your face, washing frequently (your hands), keeping a safe distance (6 ft.) away from sick people, and not sharing licks off your three year old’s Tootsie Pop – are more than adequate to give you a good chance of not getting the flu. Keeping those ugly viruses out of your body is what you trying to do.

Sanity is in the knowing

So, how do you know if you have the flu and not some silly little cold (come on… a cold, that’s not sick!)? Actually, there are many similar symptoms that the common Calgary cold and flu share. If you give thought to it, you’ll realize that both are simply viral infections that have entered your body through mucous membranes of your nose, eyes, and/or mouth. Both the cold and flu affect the throat, can cause headaches, affect your sinuses and even may produce a fever. However, there are a few things that may be different.

Typically, the flu will come on much quicker than a cold. In most cases the symptoms will be more severe and last longer (watch out – a cold can be severe too). Additionally, the flu can pack a little extra fun – vomiting. And that’s not all! If it’s the flu, pneumonia may also be in the offering. If you perceive a shortness of breath when sick, it may do you good to see your Doctor as this could be a sign that pneumonia has come into play. As a matter of fact, if you are ever in doubt about what you have caught, do see your family doctor.

Why is this flu different from other flus?

There are thousands of different kinds of viruses that can cause the flu. New strains develop frequently and each one is different from the one before it. The seasonal flu is actually comprised of several different strains of flu. Swine flu is a new, different strain of virus.

What are the swine flu stages I keep hearing about?

The World Health Organization, WHO, developed a plan to respond to health emergencies, like swine flu, which have the potential to become pandemic. Each stage represents a different level of response. For example, Stage 4 means that the disease can no longer be contained inside any specific country, therefore governments must take steps to handle community spread of the disease. As of late spring 2009, H1N1 swine flu was labeled pandemic by WHO, meaning it had reached Stage 5. (You can follow WHO swine flu staging for changes and updates.)

An ounce of prevention can cure a lot of crazy things; including the Calgary Flu

Getting sick isn’t much fun; who wants to sit around trying to figure out if you have a cold or the flu? Yeah, not me either. I can think of several things that would be more fun – watching Lawrence Welk reruns, studying for a final, heck even pulling teeth would be more fun than a cold or flu. But really, I think even working on a strong solution to Calgary influenza prevention can be a lot of fun. For instance, you could start a healthy exercise routine, or even move your current exercise plan up a notch or two. Nothing helps your body deal with infection better, than keeping it at its optimal level of health.

Getting in shape doesn’t have to be a lot of hard work. Instead, it should be a lot of fun that you work hard at. Take for instance this list of fun things you can do to get yourself started.

· Go on bike rides

· Take Dance Lessons

· Try your hand (and feet) at ice skating

· When the snows on the mountain, go skiing

And there are many more, however, these are just starting points or filler. If you really want to bring your level of health to the top you should see a personal trainer. A personal trainer can give you many ideas to help establish a healthy lifestyle that will help beat any Calgary flu epidemic. In fact, the best personal trainers – the trainers in the know – hang out at Calgary personal trainer spot, http://www.fitnessbootcampscanada.com/. These guys know how to have fun at working hard. Every session is, like… having an exercise party! So don’t wait until you see “Pigs Fly”. These guys are insane about wanting to help you protect your health. So make an appointment today; the “Doctors” are in!

As you can see from my video and my blog I have lost over 45lbs of fat in only 2 months . Fitness boot Camps Canada and Allan Fine has changed my lifer for the better. I don't know if you can imagine what it's like to be only 27 years old and over 300lbs. When I went to see my doctor about it , it scared the shit out of me. I found the program online and signed up that day. I am now in the 280's and on my way down to 220 eventually.
If you never thought you could do a boot camp your wrong. If I can anyone can. My advice is get off your rear end , stop listening to all the little voices in your head as to why you can't do it and get going.

D-E-T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-I-O-N!!!
Just like I coach all my clients in Boot Camp who want to lose weight and tone up , you have to show up not only to boot camp but in life as well.
You have to:
Is get into action, proceed, determination helps get you through the next phase, through the steps of learning, growing, and building, one step at a time and one process at a time. There is a strong place deep within you that you tap into when you are exhausted, stumped, or at a dead end. It is from this strong place that determination is born. It says, 'I will not be defeated. I will get this task done.' It is here that you press on, that you make a decision not to quit.

It is because you have decided that what you are trying to achieve is important, and worthy for you to complete. You have felt in your heart that the outcome will be very good, or even great. All dreams require determination to make a reality. Anyone who accomplished something in this life had great determination to do so.

It still is, so I decided to write this article to make sure the public got educated so they would know the difference between a great fitness program and the ones that claimed to be great but aren't.

What criteria can you use to decide which boot camp program is best for you.

There are many fitness Boot Camp programs in Calgary.

What criteria can you use to decide which program is best for you.

1. Do they have a pre and post evaluation where they measure your body fat, inches and do before and after pictures. Many do not unfortunately, how can you assess if you have lost fat or muscle during your program. If your goal is to lose fat, lose weight and inches then if they don't measure those things how will you know?

2. Do they play music during your camp. Try this, sit there in silence for 1 minute only. Now imagine working out. Now imagine working out for 1-1/2 hours with dead silence except for the sound of others sweating and groaning.

Now imagine working out to great motivating high energy music. Which would you rather do?

3. Are they for beginners or only for advanced clients. I see many camps using sand bags or military style training using heavy wooden polls or dragging tires. This is VERY dangerous to the beginner. You will see injuries and you can hurt yourself very badly in these camps unless your already very fit. If your goal is to get in shape and lose weight and inches and you hurt yourself the very first week then how is that serving you.

4. Using body weight only. I have seen many camps using only clients body weight. This does NOT work for weight loss and only produces mild toning.

Your body has a inherent knowledge of whether or not your using extra resistance or your body weight only. If body weight training was truly effective why have so many people who are very over weight who do pushups and sit ups and walk all the time not lose tons of weight.

If 2 people ran a mile and one was 160 lbs and had a 60 lb knapsack and the other was 220 lbs who would work harder and burn more calories.

The person who was 160 lbs and had a 60 lb knapsack.

5. What kind of ongoing coaching or support do they offer. Most have none. If your program isn't working for you because you are eating poorly still they have no support systems in place for that. Some do though. Check them out!!

I hope this helps all of you get some clarification on what is out there.
Have a truly great day , everything is possible!

Fitness Boot Camps Canada- Your ultimate fat burning tool!
Stop Wasting Time and Money Switching Every Year to a New Fat loss Plan – Learn the Fastest Way to Burn Fat and Keep it Off Permanently…

The Truth About Fat Loss and Why Losing Fat and Losing Weight is Not The Same Thing…

• Are you having a hard time losing body fat?
• Are you tired of gaining weight back that you had previously lost?
• Are you tired of counting calories and going on diets?
• Do your back fat rolls (love handles) show through your t-shirt?

Stop trying to squeeze into clothes two sizes too small for you and learn the quickest way to burn fat so that you can actually fit in those jeans…

One of the reasons why people have a hard time getting into shape is because they think that losing weight is the same as losing body fat. This is simply not true. You must understand that when most diet or weight loss programs advertise losing a large amount of weight in a short period of time, they are not talking about losing body fat, they are talking about water weight. They know that most people assume that when they lose weight they are burning fat so they roll with that.

So in reality they are not really lying to you, but they are only telling you half the truth by capitalizing on what you assume. They will not tell you that you are not losing much fat because they know that you think you are because your scale goes down. With that said, it is possible to lose a large amount of fat in a short period of time.

In order for fat loss to occur, your body must burn more calories than it takes in, but keep in mind that your body needs calories for energy and when you exercise; your body needs even more calories. Before I talk about energy, the first thing you must understand is that fat loss and weight loss is not the same thing. Just because you lose weight, does not mean you lose fat, and just because you lose fat, does not mean you lose weight. When people talk about losing weight, what the really want to do is lose body fat and obtain an attractive figure.

When you eat, the body uses most of the calories for energy. If you eat more calories than the body uses, it will get stored as fat. If you do not consume enough calories per day you will lose weight, but you will also lose energy. When you do not consume enough energy (calories) for your body, it will start using up your energy stores to make up for the energy deficiency. Unfortunately, the energy stores used is not your stored fat, but instead it’s protein and carbohydrates (carbs) that will supply most of the energy (stored fat makes up a very small percentage).

Your body will take the protein and carbohydrates from your muscle cells; causing your muscle mass to reduce (say goodbye to that toned attractive look) which forces your metabolism to decrease (a low metabolism = slow or no fat burning). When this happens your body requires less energy to maintain its new lower body weight (remember the body weight is lower because you loss muscle), which is why your body conserves energy by slowing down the metabolism.

That is why Boot Camp will work for you. We finally combine all 3 components of fat loss together to give FAT the 1….2….3….KNOCK OUT PUNCH it deserves!!

1. Exercise- The kind that tone your muscles , sculpt your bodyand burns Fat!!

2. Nutrition-Learning how to eat, not skipping breakfast, eating protein with every meal to rebuild you bodies lean muscle mass!

3.Ongoing motivation and support- We are the ONLY program out there with certified trainers and weekly coaching calls.

NUTRITION PHASE: Focusing on your nutrition may be the most important component to developing that sexy six pack you seek. Forgetting to consider your diet will be like riding a bike without your front wheel, you wont get far! Here are some dietary items for you to consider.

Increase your Metabolism: Increasing your metabolism will allow your body to burn more calories and fat even during times that you’re not working out. Eat 5-6 meals a day to keep your metabolism burning hot and keep incinerating the fat off your body. Think of your metabolism like building a fire to keep you warm. You must spend a lot of time getting the fire burning (eating breakfast) and then constantly add fuel to keep it burning hot (other small meals).

Lean Protein: Eating lean protein is vital to any fitness diet because it has so many beneficial effects. For fat burning and ab building lean protein takes a long time to digest so you wont have blood sugar spikes like when you eat straight carbohydrates. You may know that when your blood sugar peaks and then drops you feel the cravings to consume starchy carbohydrates and over eat.

Water, Water, Water: Drinking a minimum of 8 cups of water a day will not only keep the toxins flushed out of your body but will also prevent dehydration. If you’re working out regularly, like you should, then you’ll need lots of water to replace what you lose during your workout.

Fiber: Think of fiber as lubricant to your digestive tract. Keeping high amounts of fiber in your stomach keeps food moving quickly through your digestive and intestinal tract which will keep you in overall good health.

WORKOUT PHASE: CARDIOVASCULAR: It is important to do cardiovascular exercise to burn fat. It is more important to keep your workouts short and intense. This is counter intuitive to what most people think. By keeping your workouts very intense and short you will basically kick start your metabolism into high gear. Find things you like to do as that will keep you motivated to continue your program.

Weights: Lifting heavy is absolutely essential to burning fat off your body. Since muscle is very energy inefficient it burns far more calories than fat. So by building muscle on your body you’re actually increasing your fat burning potential of your body even at rest.

So how do you get results fast ? A recent study by the American Council on Exercise has the answer. Let
's discover the 3 most effective exercises to get flat abdominals, the correct way to breathe during
abdominal exercises and tips and tricks to get results faster. I have integrated these exercises to help
thousands of clients get results.
A California study conducted by the American Council on Exercise has determined that the classic sit-up
is not the best answer for stronger, flatter abdominals. The conclusions were intriguing, to say the least.
The traditional sit-up was among the least effective abdominal muscle exercises.
Sit-ups (in which you raise your trunk up from the floor with your knees straight or bent) involve the hip
muscles disproportionately relative to the abdominals. This means the hip muscles work more and the
abdominal muscles work less i.e they are not getting trained in the right manner. In addition, there is an
unnecessary (and potentially harmful) strain on the lower back. The sit-up is not only ineffective, but
potentially harmful.
There 's more, and it 's equally surprising. The study indicated that several gadgets for the abdominals
were either ineffective or marginally more effective than a regular abdominal crunch, which doesn't cost
you anything, other than the time required to learn the right technique.
Now for the big news. The top three abdominal muscle exercises were:
The Bicycle maneuver.
The Captains Chair.
Crunch on an exercise ball.
For best results.
Start with 2-3 sets of each exercise, 8-10 repetitions. Increase by 8-10 repetitions each week till you work
your way up to a set of 40 repetitions in each set. 2 sets of 35-40 repetitions a day for the abdominals is
ideal, and you do not need to train more than that.
Breathing during abdominal muscle exercises.
With all abdominal muscle exercises, exhale as you contract / exert / come up / crunch your abdominals;
inhale as you relax / lower / return to the starting position.
Points to remember.
1. If you have lower back injuries or pain, consult a doctor before you begin, so you don't hurt yourself.
Also see a physician if you are over 35, have been sedentary for a long time, have high blood pressure
and/or cholesterol, are a smoker, have chest pains or shortness of breath or have had a joint or muscle
injury.
2. It 's not the number of repetitions, but the quality and technique that gets results. Overdoing sit-ups can
hurt your lower back. Besides, the best way to get those flat lower abdominal muscles is to be patient for
8-10 weeks, eat a healthy diet and do regular aerobic exercise.
