Napa Personal Trainer Warns Fitness Boot Camps are Dangerous
Dec/090
Fitness Boot Camps are a growing trend in the fitness industry today for good reason. They typically are much more affordable than personal training. They also offer more camaraderie and social support, are much more exciting, and have many more convenient time slots than personal training while still providing expert supervision.
Unfortunately, boot camps do have their downside. Many fitness instructors want to jump on the lucrative boot camp bandwagon without having any of the skills or experience to design custom workouts for the wide variety of fitness levels typical in large group training. Here are 10 tips on how to select a boot camp that will get you results and keep you safe at the same time:
The Top 10 Boot Camp Safety Checklist
1. ) The Instructor Must Be Certified With Nationally Recognized Institutions. There are many online pay-for-certifications where people can get a certificate with little or no knowledge of proper training methods. This is a big part of what gets people hurt and gives fitness a bad name!
2. ) The Instructor Must Look The Part And Walk The Walk. If the trainer takes physical fitness seriously and is on the cutting edge of new training methodologies, they will be fit themselves, plain and simple. After all, who wants to take advice from someone who is in worse shape than they are!
3. ) The Instructor Must Be Experts With Exercise Progressions. Every exercise has the appropriate regression and progression based on your current fitness level. Overweight, de-conditioned beginners SHOULD NOT perform the exact same exercises as their more fit counterparts. If you ask your trainer if he/she can show an exercise modification that better suits your particular situation and they give you a blank stare, leave the class on the spot!
4. ) The Instructor Must Make Themselves Available 10-15 Minutes Before and After Every Session. Although a good trainer can effectively train the group as a whole and still give that personal touch, he/she must be willing to speak with clients before AND after every workout to address any personal issues that might arise within the scope of your training or in related to other very important topics like nutrition.
5. ) The Program Must Emphasize Body Weight Before External Resistance. There should be no added weight to any movements until you have mastered the key foundational body weight exercises in full ranges of motion like push-ups, squats, lunges, etc. A red flag should be raised if you are being instructed to add weight to a movement that you have yet to master with your body weight alone. This one’s important because it’s not a matter of if you will get hurt. . . it’s a matter of when!
6. ) The Training System Must Focus on Body Weight Circuit Training and Cardio Interval Training. High-Intensity Interval Training is scientifically proven to burn 9x more fat than the aerobic training alternative, so it is critical that both the resistance training AND cardio programs provided incorporate intervals since the goal of 99% of fitness enthusiasts is fat loss. Furthermore, most people are seeking the lean, athletic look of a men’s health or women’s health cover model respectively, and this is easily accomplished with 2-5+ body weight resistance training movements organized in a circuit fashion with the proper pre-programmed work to rest periods between exercises. Plus a truly skilled trainer has mastered the art of intensifying movements without the need for extra loading.
7. ) The Program Must Provide Nutritional Information. Nutrition is 80% of the weight loss battle. Without it, you are joining an incomplete program and wasting your money since there is no amount of exercise that can compensate for poor dietary habits. People are too busy, and frankly too lazy, so the nutrition program needs to be clearly outlined and easy to follow. It should provide both Quick-Start Nutrition Guides for Males and Females respectively that will have you eating to support your fat loss goals in 5 minutes or less. Plus, a cookbook with a bunch of tasty and healthy done-for-you recipes should be provided to keep you on track!
8. ) The Program Must Have A Website AND An Interactive Web 2. 0 Social Network. Bottom line, if the boot camp program in question does not have a website in this day in age it is not worth your time and money. Personal training is not just about “training,” it is a business and it needs to be approached that way. Furthermore, social support must extend outside of the boot camp workout. There are several web 2. 0 interactive social networks (e. g. NING) that offer member profiles, blogging, and a forum where trainers and clients can interact with each other for FREE, so there is no excuse not to set this up for boot camp clients.
9. ) The Program Must Have Social Proof And Raving Fans. If the program works, there should be proof in the form of client testimonials. Their previous clients should have results and be raving about all of the benefits that they have received from the program. Ask for before and after pictures and written or video testimonials of their services before signing up (again, this should be made available on the company website). And remember, it’s NOT just about the weight loss. Benefits should include, but not be limited to, increased energy levels, dress/pant size reduction, improved health profiles, increased strength and flexibility, less joint pain, etc.
10. ) The Program Must Offer A FREE Trial or Satisfaction Guarantee. If the program is confident about what they have to offer, then they will let you come in and try it for free or they will guarantee your satisfaction or your money back to completely eliminate the risk on your end. A results-based programs looks to minimize barriers of entry for prospects into their boot camps because they know that once the prospect experiences the benefits of the program firsthand they will surely buy!

They also offer more camaraderie and social support, are much more exciting, and have many more convenient time slots than personal training while still providing expert supervision.

Phoenix Personal Trainer Warns Fitness Boot Camps Can Do More Harm Than Good
Dec/090
Fitness Boot Camps. Have you heard of them? Have you ever attended one? They are a growing trend in the fitness industry today for good reason. They typically are much less expensive than one-on-one personal training, yet they offer more camaraderie and social support, are much more exciting, and have many more convenient time slots than personal training while still providing expert supervision and fantastic results.

Summer Camps Give Students the Confidence They Need to be Successful
Dec/090
Campers come out of our programs sparkling with confidence because they’ve come face to face with their own success. We don’t leave it to chance, belief, or wishful thinking. We let them experience for themselves just how good they are. We build in opportunities for them to succeed. They don’t just believe they can be successful, they know it – because they’ve done it.
Teens shouldn’t have to miss out on achievements because they’re afraid they’ll fail. They’re afraid to find out they can’t do something. They tell themselves, “As soon as I feel good enough about myself, I’ll try something big. ” But what we’ve found by working with teens is that self-confidence works exactly the opposite way. It comes from going after something aggressively – and achieving it. It’s a matter of starting small, of going for little successes and building from there.
Campers break through the self-confidence barrier over and over again with the help of what we call the Success Model. We use this strategy throughout our programs, not just for academics but for life skills, attitude – you name it. Campers first experience small private successes, then work their way up to giant public ones. All along the way, they’re building on what they know they can do – with the help of lots of repetition and practice. We rehearse for success. They use the energy of their previous success to catapult them into the next.
For instance, when we work through memorization skills, the first things we do are large-group callouts where they can stay anonymous if they’re afraid they don’t know the answer. It’s very safe. Next we practice in small groups or pairs, leading up to individual performance which can be a teen speaking or performing alone in front of the group, or in some cases the individual performance of taking a test. Where they fear to go in one giant step, they can go with confidence in a series of small steps, each built on the foundation of a previous success.
We love it when we get letters from summer camp graduates about their academic breakthroughs. They understand and remember a lot more, their grades have improved, and their SAT and college entrance scores have gone up. These are some of the end results of a process that begins with the way they think about themselves. We hold these truths to be self-evident: Every person is a capable learner, people learn in different ways, and learning happens best in a fun, engaging, and challenging environment.
To get these principles firmly in mind, teens learn their ABCs:
A is for Attitude: What we tell our minds about something in advance will affect the outcome. When young people approach their education from a “This Is It!” mindset and have an insatiable curiosity and a thirst for knowledge, they can learn just about anything. A “bring it on!” attitude makes learning easier.
B is for Belief: What we believe about our abilities affects our performance. If a person believes she’s a poor learner, guess what? Her belief will be a self-fulfilling prophecy. But if she decides to tell herself, “I’m a good learner and I’m getting better every day,” her ability to learn goes up. We all have the power to choose our beliefs – those who choose empowering can-do beliefs are much more likely to reach their goals.
C is for Commitment: There’s awesome power in making a commitment. Once people lock on to a particular goal or course of action, they discover resources they didn’t know they had. When they make a commitment to learning, their energies shift. It’s like a giant lens that suddenly comes into focus.

Some of the Exciting Alaska Fishing Camps
Dec/090
Alaska is a fantastic region; not only for fishing enthusiasts but for nature lovers from all over the world. It is said that when USA purchased Alaska from Russia many, many years ago, it made the best bargain ever. And people who lives there or has been there will understand why. This territory is famous all over the world for it’s hunting and fishing capabilities, it’s purity and cleanness and it’s wild and exotic nature sceneries.
Alaska fishing camps are available in plenty that serve as an excellent entertainment and sports center for those who are inclined to fishing. Some of the fishing camps are built on the lakes and the rivers to provide you an exciting experience that you can remember for your lifetime. These camps are excellent places for great fishing with deluxe tents and fine food served for you during camping. Thanks to a lot of competing companies you can get great service for a decent price from most of them.
We can categorize the camps based on the location of the camp. As a broad category we can divide them into South East Alaska fishing camps and the South Central Alaska fishing camps.
Some of the camps or lodges in the Southeast region are Alaskan Fishing Adventures, Glacier Bay Country Inn, and Sitka Point Lodge & Fishing Charters. ‘Alaskan fishing adventures’ is a world class fishing charter for the salmons. The lodging facility has 3 bedroom and 3 baths.
The boat used for the charter is powered by the Twin 225 Fourstroke Honda outboards. The rods and the reels used in the camp are from G Loomis and Penn. You may check out their website for more details on the price for the fishing charter and the lodging. There are many websites that give details of all the lodges and the fishing camps available in the Southeast region.
Some of the fishing lodges and Alaska fishing camps available in the South Central region are Wilderness Place Lodge by the Alaska Adventure Company, Alaska Rainbow Lodge, and Piscatorial Pursuits. The Wilderness Place Lodge is located in the famous Lake Creek. This location is famous for the salmon and the rainbow fishing in Alaska.
Fly-fishing is a specialty of this camp. Log lodges are available right on the river for a wonderful and exciting experience. Personal guides are available for your fishing trips. Check out their websites for more details on the lodges and the fishing camps available throughout Alaska!

Day Camps Aren’t Just for Little Kids Anymore
Dec/090
A common thought among parents is that day camps are for âlittle kidsâ while overnight (or sleepaway) camps are for older ones. That may have been true in the past, but nowadays, nothing could be further from the truth. Day camps, where kids spend the day at camp and then return home each afternoon, have grown by over 90% in the last 10 years. Day camps have traditionally carried the label of appealing to young children, but that reputation is no longer valid as day camps now offer a myriad of camp activities designed to appeal to older kids. What kinds of day camps are available for older kids and teens? You name it! A recent search of âday campsâ on Google returned nearly 20 million results! Thatâs 20 million! Does your child want to learn to surf? Try a surfing day camp. There is one in Los Angeles, California called Aloha Beach Camp that specializes in surfing and aquatic sports activities for older kids. Itâs called the Aloha Beach Camp High Action Camp program. If your child is under 8 years old, they are too young to attend the camp! Is your son or daughter an aspiring chef? Why not send them to a cooking day camp? Just go online and type in âcooking camps for older children. â When we did that, we found one that specializes in cooking camp activities for 10 to 13 year old boys and girls! It doesnât matter if your kids are young or old â there is a day camp program designed just for them. And even if they are among the older set, they will surely find lots of other kids their same at camp and make lifelong friendships with them. Thatâs what day camp is all about!

3 Tips To Select The Youth Camps For Developing Skills And Having Fun
Dec/090
There may be hundreds of options today for your children aged between 3 to 15 years to develop their skills and have some fun time. However, nothing will replace the fun and opportunity to develop new skills available in the Youth camps. That is the reason why the Youth Camps are very popular today. Unlike olden days when the Youth camps where just meant for fun and spending the summer vacation, today the youth camps play an important role in developing leadership skills. However, the opportunity to develop skills along with fun is not available in all the youth camps out there. It is up to you to choose the best youth camp where your children can have some fun along with learning valuable skills. This article will help you to choose the best Youth camp for your children to spend their summer vacation. Look for safetySafety is an important aspect to be considered while choosing the Youth Camps. The candidates of the Youth Camps are supervised by the coaches of various activities. You should make sure that only a few students are assigned to one coach and this will enable him/ her to manage effectively. This will ensure the safety of your children too. You should also look for the safety amenities like first aid facilities provided by the Youth Camp of your choice. You should also make sure that the Youth Camp issues the safety equipment required for playing the sports like soccer and baseball. You can ensure the safety of your children in the Youth camps by referring to the safety records. The Sports optionsMost of the Youth Camps offer the opportunity to learn only soccer and baseball. It has to be noted that the best Youth Camps will teach the candidates with 11 sports of interest (say) Soccer, Baseball, Flag Football, Basketball, Tennis, Lacrosse, Golf, Volleyball, Cheerleading, Track & Field, and some special sports offered exclusively by the youth camps. Making your children join such Youth camps will provide them with the excellent opportunity to enjoy their summer vacation along with learning to play the sport of their choice. Look for Youth Camps with well experienced InstructorsYou will be well aware of the fact that sports like soccer and baseball requires great skills. These skills can be developed only if the instructor of the sport is well experienced. For example, the instructor of the soccer academy should have enough knowledge about the basic skills needed to play soccer. Signing up with such a soccer academy will help your child to learn the soccer game more effectively and maybe become a professional player in the future. The various types of programs made available in these Youth Camps will be more exiting for your children. Signing up with the youth camps is the best gift that you can give your child during his vacation.

A Look at the Variety of Tented Camps While on Vacation in Kenya
Dec/090
If you are looking for a delightful and adventurous way to spend your vacations in Kenya, it would be fun to choose tented camping sites which are pitched on specific grounds with nice scenic views of grasslands and mountaneous ranges. You will watch game streaming around watering holes at night as you enjoy Lavish dinner and entertainment. There are several tented campsites scattered all over the game reserves and parks, along rivers, cliffs, hills and mountain tops. These tented camps have good beds, bathrooms and shower blocks, while others are so luxurious they will offer furniture, hot showers, and Beds rivilling only a five star hotel. I wish to list here the various places you can enjoy the comfort of tented camps. My list may not be exhaustive but it can serve as a guide to those who would wish to live in tented camps while on vacation in Kenya.
The Amboseli National Park has tented camps and cottages where you can have un-interrupted view of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The wildlife are kept off by a fence running around the camp site, making it safe to watch game and walk around in the night. These tented camps are a complete contrast to the more luxurious cottages at the Amboseli Lodge, Tortilis Camp, Amboseli Serena Lodge and the Ol Tukai Lodge Where you will be treated to well kept gardens, wonderful views of Mt. Kilimanjaro, Swimming pools and enough amenities making your stay very comfortable and spiritually rewarding. But of course if you are traveling on a budget, you could try the Namanga River Hotel, Campi ya Kazi, or the Nyati Safari camp, all with nice tented camps erected under acacia trees, giving you the advantage of the nice scenic view of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The Tsavo National Park offers a wide range of wild life and birds within the dense vegetation, swamps, remarkable rolling hills, volcanic caves and huge rocks. Here you will find tented camps with basic amenities like running water, bathrooms, mosquito nets, bedding and toilet facilities. Unlike in the Amboseli, one will have to make arrangement for lunch and dinner at nearby lodges and hotels. However a few of them have luxurious tented camps but are a bit more costly to rent. There are good places where you can arrange for tented camps like the Severin Safari Camp in Mombasa, the Voyager Safari Camp at the Zimani Gate, the Finch Hatton’s Safari Camp lacated on the western side of the Tsavo National Park and the Satao Camp on the banks of the Voi River
This list would not be complete without reference to the Kenyan coastal town of Mombasa. This town is home to the Simba Hills National park where you can watch elephants, antelopes and zebras grazing on the grasslands, the sandy beaches of Malindi, the Watamu marine National Park and the age old Lamu town. You are sure to be treated to the best tented camps at the Makurumuji Tented Camping site at the Simba hills National Park, the Shompole Camping site on Lake Magadi which offers a Jacuzzi to keep you cool From the warm breezes.
One thing about tented camping sites is the amount of backpacking one has to carry, which is a little cumbersome but this should not undermine the benefits that accrue from tented camping sites. You will definitely be able to save lots of money that you can invest in many ways like either in eating at a five star or shopping for yourself antique Masai Lingerie, traditional artifacts and the like. It should also be important to appreciate the fact that life at tented camping sites teaches you and makes you self-dependent. Its very interesting to see men and women who do not do any household work at all cleaning plates while in camping sites.
