Two Tips for Boot Camp Success, and Tim Ferriss

2 tips for today...

First Tip

My tip for getting and ready for your morning boot camp session.  It's going to get colder here in Pasadena so getting out of bed and to boot camp on time might be a little more challenging for some.

My tip is to have some strong green tea, coffee, or mate´before you leave the house.  For those of you here in the Pasadena area, I get my mate´from the Argentinian market at 1272 Villa St.  It comes "loose"in a bag like a bag of sugar.  If you buy it in this manner, you'll need to buy the special "bombilla" or metal straw.

You can also get it at Trader Joe's, in a "tea bag" option.  Look for the brand name Guayaki.  

Second Tip

I've been anticipating the release of Tim Ferriss' new book, The Four Hour Body...and one of the tips that makes sense, and which I think will help you is to take a picture of your meal.  Yep, snap a picture and then post it on our Facebook Page.  You can upload it, then just "tag" it with Boot Camp Pasadena.

I know that some of you may want to wait and do this with our upcoming Paleo Challenge, but I encourage you to get started now.

Boot Camp Pasadena's friend, Mike Michels on Access Hollywood

Remember last week when my buddy and fellow trainer, Mike Michels came to our boot camp?

Mike gave me and a couple lucky clients a peak into a brand new product which he will be introducing to the market probably in April.

I can't say much about it now, but I can tell you that he is working with Polar heart rate monitors, and I am certain that his product is going to be awesome.  You guys saw it here first at Boot Camp Pasadena.

Here's our buddy on Access Hollywood this weekend talking on how "How the Stars Get Their Oscar Arms".

Recognize some of the exercises in this video?  Looks very similar to those we do in boot camp doesn't it?

I like the part when he mentions that he has a family and works 14 hour days, yet still has time for his training.  

You can do it to!  Make up your mind, and get after it.

The Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise

In the morning class we spoke a little bit about The Belly Fat Cure, by Jorge Cruise.

I've read the book and I recommend it.  I'll elaborate more on it later, but for $10 on Amazon, it is a smart buy.

What Do Kim Kardashian and Boot Camp Pasadena Have in Common?

We both use rope training.

I've been using the rope training with my clients since the end of 2008, so it's nice to see that trainer to the stars Gunnar Peterson is using it with his clients such as Kim Kardashian.

There are a couple of different names for rope training such as Battling Ropes, and Ropes Gone Wild, but whatever you call it, it's a great way to burn fat without the typical pounding that comes with most aerobic exercises.
