Well can you believe that this is our final week of Boot camp! I want to express how proud I am of all of you. You have all made great strides toward becoming more fit and healthy. Now that we are in our fourth week I am sure you have noticed an increase in your personal fitness level. I have had an opportunity to observe each of you and have some suggestions and recommendations that you may find helpful.  Please contact me via e-mail, phone or text so we can discuss further.  I will be available for the next few weeks if you would like to schedule a personal training session. Group exercise is great in many ways but because everybody’s body is different it is important to know what exercises work  best for your body and fitness goals. Now is the time to evaluate your goals and think about a plan going forward. I am here for you so please reach out and let me help. Any questions or concerns? Just let me know…

1. SIGN UP FOR A RACE OR COMPETITION: Having a definite deadline gives more meaning to each and every workout.
2. MAKE A NEW PLAYLIST:Load a new workout playlist onto your iPod packed full of adrenaline-boosting tunes.
3. PLAN IN ADVANCE: Plan out your workouts  a week in advance and cross them off as you complete them.
4. SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST: Start each workout with your least favorite exercise so you can get it over with and move your favorite exercise to the end.
5. MEASURE UP: Taking your measurements every couple of months gives you a clear end-date.  Tangibles are the best motivators.
6. SINGLE SET:  When you just don’t feel like working, gear up for one set of your favorite exercise. Chances are you will probably want to finish the workout once you’ve started. 
7. REWARD YOURSELF: As you achieve your goals, reward yourself with a message, or facial. Just make sure the reward is not junk food!
8. WRITE IT DOWN: Write a contract with yourself listing all your goals and deadlines, sign it and keep it on the fridge as a daily reminder of the promises you have made with yourself.
9. SWITCH THINGS UP: Change your training partner every few months. If you get too friendly with your workout partner it becomes easy  to slack off and cancel.
10. JOIN A MESSAGE BOARD:Message boards are full of inspiration from people who have accomplished their goals and are working toward new ones.
