Wednesday 12.15.10 – Playing in the snow

I was running with Anthony in class on Monday and he mentioned he had taken his children skiing over the weekend. I thought WOW…what a great way to enjoy the snow while getting a great workout for the entire family. Sometimes it is easy to give in to the ‘bad’ weather and hibernate until the spring. Growing up in the south we often didn’t have the opportunity to play in snow, our winter sport season was short and sometimes non-existent. We are lucky in New England to have a long season to get out there and ski, sled or ice-skate. All of these sports are excellent exercise and a lot of fun too. Check out all the options Mt. Wachusett has for children this winter but don’t forget the hot chocolate!!!

Vacation workouts

 
FitCampers!
 

You may have already experienced that feeling of taking time off from FitCamp and coming back to the studio feeling like you never worked out a day in your life.  

There’s no worse feeling than sucking wind, wishing class was over, only to look at the board and realize you are just finishing the warm-up. 

When only weeks ago you were feeling lean, healthy, athletic and at your fittest.

Nick and I see this alot especially during the summer months when many members go on vacation. 

It pains us to see someone get so far with their health and performance only to be set-back by eating poorly and lying around on the beach for a few weeks.  

To help keep this from happening to you, we just came up with a quick list of workouts to help you stay “FitCamp Fit” this summer.

These workouts are short, high intensity and require NO equipment.  

They are perfect for vacation workouts, at home or even if you are on the fence with trying FitCamp and want to get an idea of what kind of workouts we do. 

You can find the “Vacation Workout” page in the member’s area. 

Enjoy and have a great weekend!
