Challenge Winners and 2010 New Year

A contest was given to all my clients 8 and 12 weeks ago.

Actually, it was two contests.

One was called Fitness BINGO and the other one was Sexy Back Boot Camps Shape Up Challenge.

This was both for me to see who was really dedicated to themselves and to my program.

Clients always ask for tips and tricks to drop the fat and raise their metabolism, always wanting the easy way.

Here's a tip for you.... REAL fat loss takes dedication and commitment.

If I could invent a pill for everyone to drop the fat the REAL way, I would never have to work again.

If coming to class and getting your butt whooped was easy, everybody would be doing it.

But it's not.

I had over 100 new trial members come to camp in the month of December.

A little over 60 has survived and are staying with the other Sexy Sexies.

Congrats to those who are willing to take the next step towards a healthier, sexier lifestyle.

I wish luck to those who quit... you'll need it.

If training with us wasn't going to help you, next to nothing ever will.

The cost of training will increase after the New Year.

So if you want to save some money and want a REAL, efficient way of dropping the fat forever, you need to join our class for 2010 ASAP.

If you fell off the wagon and want back on, come on back into our training sessions.

Fitness Myths Busted - December/January Issue of Kansas City Fitness Magazine

Fitness Myths Busted - December/January Issue of Kansas City Fitness Magazine -

By Kri Chay - PES, CES
Sexy Back Boot Camps

1. THE TRADITIONAL MODERATE CARDIO EXERCISE IS THE BEST WAY TO BURN FAT MYTH
a. You will not find a vacant treadmill across the nation from New Years through around Valentines Day. Aerobic cardio exercises should be intense, brief, and varied if you want to maximize your fat burning efforts. Start with walking and then speed it up every week.



2. THE STARVING YOURSELF IS THE BEST WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT MYTH
a. If you want to downshift your metabolism, starving yourself is the quickest way to bring your weight loss efforts to a standstill (Not to mention unhealthy). Your body wants to hang onto fat if it feels like it’s not getting any food. Eat small portions spread through the day to keep the metabolism revved up.



3. THE AB EXERCISES ARE GOING TO TIGHTEN, TONE, AND FLATTEN MY TUMMY MYTH
a. Avoid the mat, burn more fat. Huddles are going to be formed around the mats in every gym after the New Year. Do yourself a favor and burn more calories doing total body exercises to bring sexy back. Stay away from the mat. Try this exercise: Squat to 2-arm Dumbbell Shoulder Press

REST IN PEACE

Everyday I hear people complain about what they have and what they don't have and how things happen to them. They wish for the lottery and that's it's unfair that great things happen to other people and other people get what they want but they do not.

You know what? Things don't JUST happen to people. The wealthy people and smart people think totally different than people who are broke and/or poor.

Being poor is a state of mind but being broke is just temporary.

We can all have the best ideas in the world and everyday we may talk to our co-workers about what is bad with work, what needs to be done, but nobody is doing Sh!+ about it!!

This year has been one of the toughest years for myself and my family. My step-dad had a stroke and ended up in the hospital and losing his job forever, never to return.

My uncle's car stops running on the side of the road during a storm and tries moving it, but ends up having a heart attack on the side of the road and passing away. RIP.

My brother ended up accidentally overdosing and in ICU for a few days, almost dead and returning.

My good friend's Father unexpectedly has a stroke six weeks ago at the age of 64 and ends up with his right side of his body to never work correctly again.

My aunt passes away unexpectedly from a brain hemorrhage/stroke last week on Thurs. Dec. 11. She is the first from my side of the family, in their generation, at the age of 51.

My whole point is that we all need to be thankful for what we have. If you don't "have" what you need or want, well you better do something different to get it. If you keep doing the same stupid sh!+ that gets you no where, then why are you still doing those things?

You have to do something different to achieve something different. You have to take risks. Don't take stupid risks.

You have to take SMART, CALCULATED risks.

Dying is a part of living. That's life.

How much is your health worth to you? One dollar? One hundred dollars? One thousand dollars?

Or is it like MasterCard...PRICELESS?

Well, why is it that people don't complain about buying a new, flat screen television, a Nintendo Wii, or a new pair of shoes or dress or even a house renovation?

HOWEVER, they will NOT spend a single penny on personal training? If you were dying of a disease, would you spend money to stay alive?

Because that's what you're doing when you don't INVEST in health and fitness!

You wanted the truth. There. You got it. Deal with it.

Love me or hate me.

Join me or keep doing what you're doing. Your choice.

One.

Camper of the Week 2

Every week at Sexy Back Bootcamps I will select a "Camper of the Week" that will receive recognition for their dedication to living THE LIFESTYLE. Our next recipient has been with our camp since Summer and loves to workout... Congratulations to Carolyn Papuga. She never makes excuses and always has a smile on her face.

We have worked out since the beginning of 2008 and are still going strong. She also has gotten her husband Tim to join us in Camp. They're both great people. Some days we have more difficult workouts but they NEVER complain. They just say "I'll try". That's the exact attitude that I absolutely LOVE. Last week, Carolyn had migraines three out of four days of training. But did she complain? Nope. She kept coming to class. She could've been home, making excuses on why she's getting fat or munching on McDonalds (she doesn't do those things). She sprained her ankle really bad one night in Camp, but she kept working out while sitting on top of the bench, doing DB shoulder presses with ice on her ankle! That's what I call dedication.

I want to thank Carolyn for her hard work inside and outside the "classroom". She is also always willing to help out, so if you guys every have any questions during class, she has learned a lot with me and will share her knowledge.

She has won a FREE one hour massage to Beauty Brands for her hard work in class. Thank you!

Favorite exercise: Alternating Side Lunges

Least favorite exercise: Bent over DB Scaptions/Y's

Camper of the Week

Sherri Mesh has won two FREE phases of training at SexyBack Bootcamps. She won phase #9 in December for being the Leader and coming to class and tworkin' it out every single class. She won Phase #1 which is 5 weeks long ($300 value) for referring four students.

Every week at Sexy Back Bootcamps I will select a "Camper of the Week" that will receive recognition for their dedication to living THE LIFESTYLE. Our very first recipient has been with our camp for just one week and has shown that she absolutely loves to work out... Congratulations to Sherri Mesh. Sherri came into our camps looking to "lose + tone", develop lean muscle definition and increase her overall fitness level.

Even though she just started, I can tell you that she has been successful because of her dedication to be at every workout and bust her butt with a "NO QUIT" attitude. Last night, her eyes were bugging her and they were bloodshot red, but she was still there with us. We love having Sherri on our team.

Favorite exercise: Anything that she knows is working the abs.

Least favorite exercise: Lunges

Sherri, I want to thank you personally for being a shining example of what a strong body can look like if you are consistent with actions that move you toward your goals. I look forward to more exciting workouts and results with you in the future. Thank you for being part of the SexyBack Bootcamps team.

Stop, Drop, Opened Up Shop!!

WOO WEE!! Finally!! Opening day came and went. It was fun. The morning class in LS only had two people, which is a start and it will only get better,
but I want to see more Ladies in there. SO, if you're reading this and live in the Lee's Summit area, I want to see you in class.

The evening classes in Blue Springs were awesome! We had a lot of energy and thanks to Miss Sherri for bringing in tons of clients. She has earned FREE
training all month and maybe even next month. Thank you Sherri for using the Referral Program and earning your FREE Rapid Fat Loss Training from SexyBack Bootcamps.
There were nine people in the six pm class and five in the seven pm class. Great job Ladies! Let's continue to kick butt into 2009.

This Might Offend You

I'm going to start by saying that this might offend you.

That's not my goal, but the price of clarity is the risk of ruffling some feathers. Well, I believe that the fitness industry is about as efficient at providing lasting solutions for fat loss as the government is at providing solutions for a sagging economy.

They want to just provide Band Aids.

Pouring billions into broken companies doesn't un-break them.

Joining a gym and attending 2 hours a week doesn't cure the 166 hours of gluttony each week.

In fact, changing 35 years of bad habits in 12 sessions is about as likely as getting the winning lottery ticket.

To make a difference, it starts with the foundation.

Broken companies need to look at what they're fundamentally doing wrong instead of taking their bailout money and using it to keep doing stupid sh&t.

Gyms need to help people embrace new lifestyle habits instead of selling them access to equipment that has them sitting on their a<$ and pushing or pulling something for a few minutes.

Trainers need to focus more on helping clients think differently about food and exercise.

Workouts are short term.

Programs are better, but still temporary.

Changing lifestyles is the goal.

That's a big reason why I got involved in the IYCA.

It's a heck of a lot easier to educate and empower someone from the start instead of getting them to unlearn what they currently know and believe.

In fact, IYCA created a resource for parents to help them raise happy, healthy and active kids.

Well, I say it's for parents - but really, I've never met an adult that shouldn't read it.

You can see what I'm talking about here:

The Youth Obesity Solution

That project helped remind me, it all starts with a solid foundation.

If you have that, you don't have to continually try to cover up problems with Band Aids.

P.S. - Why should every adult read The Youth Obesity Solution. Three reasons:

1. You'll think differently about kids that struggle with their weight. Doesn't matter whether you have kids or not - you don't live in a vacuum.

2. Like it or not, if we really do want to cure the Obesity Epidemic, it hinges on re-infusing physical culture back into the lives of children.

3. 95% of the book's message is applicable to adults and will help you help them.
