Nutrition is a vital role in the weight lose, weight gain spectrum, even more so than exercise. You can work out all day long but if you don’t eat healthy there is no way you will ever reach your goals. Plain and simple, nothing you probably don’t already know or haven’t heard before. I have really started looking at the way nutrition affects people’s goals the past year and started to address this. I used to be your typical work hard in and out of the gym and nutrition isn’t so important. NOT TRUE!! As I see...

I had a very interesting discussion with one of our campers the other day that I thought everyone could benefit from. This camper was asking me how to work the calves more and if we could incorporate them into the program. I thought that was an interesting question and something to be honest I never really thought about. His concern was that his legs were disproportionate, a valid concern. After talking for a few minutes we came up with a few ways to incorporate them into his own workouts at Boot Camp. If you have been reading the blogs for...

So each year I make a list of thoughts and what I have learned. Its everything that I can think and it seems to be a pretty popular blog so here goes: 1.

Our program has pushed the age limits again going from 15-68 years of...

I have never heard such a truer statement, ” You are either getting better or getting worse. There is NO staying the same.” That’s something to live by. You either get better or you get worse. You are either in or in the way. You work hard or go home. That is what its all about. Going to the gym with the RIGHT attitude, every day regardless of whether you are having a good workout or a not so good workout. Its about putting in the time and getting better each day in some aspect. Here are a few tips in order to make the most...

Imagine this scenario, your alarm clock goes off, it’s raining out, and it’s toasty warm under your blankets. I’ve been there – it would be so easy to hit snooze or just change the alarm for another hour and just not go to the gym. Or here’s another one – you had a long day at work or shuttling the kids back and forth is on your agenda for the evening and again, it’s so easy to just decide to skip the gym and you’ll make it up another day. Remember that just showing up to the gym to complete what you already know will be a...

Smoothies are a really good way to mix up your nutrition and try something new. Most of us don’t drink smoothies or even think about it. I never used to until a few months ago when I was getting tired of eating the same foods every day. I started to incorporate smoothies into my plan to mix things up. These are two of my favorite smoothies that I use and a few ways to modify them to make them fit your needs. Berry Smoothy: Mix 1/2 cup of mixed frozen berries, 1/2 cup of Greek Yogurt, a scoop of whey protein, and some water. Mix and...

We are right in the middle of the Holiday Season and that means parties, get togethers, and friends. It also means cookies, sweets, and alcohol will most likely be involved and consumed. There are a few ways that you can go out and enjoy yourself without overdoing it or losing everything that you have worked so hard for. 1. Make sure to pick and choose which parties you would like to indulge in and which you would like to be good at. You can’t enjoy every party to the fullest so pick an choose a few that will be most fun. 2. When you...

Staying motivated can be hard, especially if you have been working out or several years. It can be hard to stay motivated in the nice summer weather and when its cold in the winter. The holidays can be tough and family, friends, and kids sometimes get in the way of our exercise plans. Heck, it can be tough to stay motivated and sometimes its a miracle that we stay on board at all, or is it?? One thing that I have learned from writing my own programs, reading blogs, and being on a very cut and dry program for three years is that its actually...

I get tons of common questions on how to build muscle, gain strength, lose weight, isolation exercise questions, nutrition, carb and protein, lower body and butt questions, etc.. The most common question I get by far is as follows: Camper: Greg, I have been working out for 2 months now and have not lost any weight? Greg: OK, how do you pants and dresses fit? Camper: I have lost 2 dress sizes and can see the way my body is transforming. I feel much better and stronger but I haven’t lost any weight. Greg: If you have lost inches and...
