I’ve been on a minimalist “kick” lately. I’ve actually been into Buddhism and Zen since I was about 12 or so, but we’ll leave that for another time.
I like the quote “Identify what’s most important to you, and eliminate the rest”. So how does this relate to your goal of being more fit and losing fat?
Success in boot camp will come down to a few things.
1. Courage
2. Commitment
3. Community
Courage- This one you have already conquered, so pat yourself on the back. You have followed through in signing up for the camp and you are showing up. If you only knew how many people have told me that they should or would come to camp but never do, you’d be amazed. You have also demonstrated your courage to do some new and often awkward exercises.
Commitment- Now it gets a little more challenging. Your commitment to eating well and training consistently will make or break you. I use the 80/20 principle here…so eating and training hard 80% of the time will keep you on the right track. If you stray from this very much, you will most likely be frustrated.
Community- There are a lot of great people in your class who are supportive and encouraging. If you aren’t already part of our Facebook group, I encourage you to join us there. You’ll find many of your fellow campers, and me, who are there to answer questions, or to keep you on track. We have a good time there. Join us here on the blog too.
The class sessions are filled with exercises and we don’t get time to discuss much, so please take advantage of the blog, videos, and the Facebook page.
As always, let me know what I can do to help.
