Shake and Paint

Morning get up and go breakfast shake. Water, protein powder, big handful spinach, frozen acai.  (Clients sometimes ask where can they buy frozen acai in Pasadena...I usually get Sambazon frozen acai at Whole Foods.) 

Workout...

Some clients have asked me to post our workouts.  Here is the link to yesterday's workout.

Fun...

We have a very fun event planned for Friday April 5 from 8 pm - 10:30 pm. 

We will be meeting at Paint The Town in San Marino.  There, we will have the whole place to ourselves.

Each person will get to select one studio painting and the instructor will walk you through the painting process, step by step. (Don't look to me for any tips or pointers...and no laughing at my lack of painting skills).  You can change colors, backgrounds and add whatever creative things you want. 

Don't worry if you have never painted before...

Please bring wine or your favorite beverage, and some healthy snacks if you like.

The cost is $25 per person.  Please confirm your space with me soon so that we can plan on supplies.

April 1, Monday, Wednesday, Friday Boot Camp Begins

Small but Dedicated Group This Morning

Today's program - timers and a deck of cards = FUNA small yet dedicated group of boot campers made it to class this morning.  Comments of "working off pie and ice cream cake" were heard.

Nice work to those who showed up and "played cards".

What You Do On Your "Off-Days" is Important to Your Fat Loss Success

Knowing that today is an "off day" from boot camp.  I'd like to know what are your plans are as far as eating right and training.

I know what I’m gonna do.  I’m going for a hike up this fire break.

It’s a steep and sandy climb, not for beginners, but you are welcome to join me.

Email me, call or text me if you’d like to join me and for the time.  We’ll meet up at the end of Lake Ave. in Pasadena.  The fire break is just to the left of the main trail.

We can talk about training, or whatever you like...or just crank out a great hike while wiping out some stress from the day.

Weekend Exercise Ideas

I just posted this to our new group site on www.DailyBurn.com...(If you haven't received the invitation to join, let me know.)

I encourage you to do some long duration exercise on the weekend.

Take a long hike with your family. Go for a long bike ride.  Go for a long walk on the beach.  Try some new sport or challenge.

Create the habit of making exercise a natural part of your weekend activities.
