Yee Hah! What a way to start the week! We had a great group this morning for our Boot Camp workout at the Corvallis High School Track. Lunges? Did someone say lunges? That was the theme this morning and we did lots and lots of functional fitness exercises combined with lunges up and down the field. Forward and reverse split lunges with overhead presses, curls, upper cuts, and even combined them with squat walks and stationary punches. The legs were burning but what a good burn! Everyone did a fantastic job this morning and the effort was visible on all of those smiling faces 
The temps were perfect at 55 degrees and it made for great workout weather. If you are interested in shaking up your workout routine and want to meet a great group of fun, non-judgemental, like minded folks that come on out and join us for one of our unique workouts. We utilize stairs, battle ropes, slosh pipes, Tabata intervals, hills, boulders, you name it and we incorporate it into our workouts. For more info simply send Shandra an email or give her a call at (541) 207-8526. Be sure to check out our weekly location meeting page to see where we will be for our workouts!

Wow! What a beautiful run we had this morning in and around Chip Ross Park on Dan’s Trail. Just a gorgeous morning to get up and hit the trails with great people and canine companions. We walked and warmed up as we headed up 29th street and then hit the trail and got in a nice four miles this morning before 6:20 am. Our running group typically meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and you do not need to be a competitive runner to come on out and join us for a friendly run. Some of us are training for races in the near future and many are just wanting to get in a little mileage with great company. If you would like to join us for a run just send Shandra an email or simply give her a call at (541) 207-8526. This picture below shows why we have no problems getting up early to hit the hills…………………

5. Nutrition – YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! Think about this as nutrition is 80% of the work here. If your goals are to lose wait make sure you are eating clean, unprocessed foods 80% of the time. Think of it like this, eat well Monday – Friday, pack your lunches, eat your mid-morning and afternoon snacks, drink tons of water during the day (this does help you lose weight!!) limit your soda intake, make small changes like dressings on the side, yogurt instead of sour cream, low fat or non fat dairy instead of whole dairy. MAKE SURE YOU EAT BREAKFAST WITHIN AN HOUR AFTER WAKING UP!!! THIS TRULY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY. A simple breakfast as toast, low fat milk and fruit or whole grain Kashi Go-Lean cereal with our fresh Willamette valley berries or even a smoothie with yogurt, fruit, flax seed meal, simple to make and you can eat on the go!!!
