3. Fitness assessment -Saturday July 10th at 8:00am meet at the Corvallis High School track for a timed mile on the track and fitness assessment. We will be doing push ups, dips, planks and curl ups to fatigue to test your strength and endurance. NO amount is too small, you have to start somewhere and this will give you a starting point! Bring your Yoga mat and some water.

4. New 9:00am sessions to start in July, perfect time if you like to sleep in and have that extra cup of coffee!!! Sessions start on Tuesday July 13th, times are Tuesday 9:00am – 10:00am, Thursday 9:00am – 10:00am or Friday 9:15am – 10:15am. These can be combined with any of the other sessions at 5:30am or 5:30pm. (You may not do 2 workouts in the same day, you animals!!!)

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!!!

ENJOY THE SUNSHINE, GET UP, GET MOVING, GIVE YOURSELF THAT GIFT OF EXERCISE EVEN A WALK COUNTS!

IF YOU ARE TIRED MAKE YOURSELF AT LEAST ATTEMPT 10 MINUTES AND I BET YOU WILL BE AMAZED TO SEE THAT AFTER 10 MINUTES YOU WILL WARM UP AND GO!!

Two days ago we had a great Boot Camp workout under sunny skies at MLK park in Corvallis. We used all three styles of Slosh Pipes for some great partner and solo drills. We had partners using the 10′ pipe filled with two gallons of water to perform Teeter Totter squats! We also had individuals working with the 5′ pipes and one is filled with one gallon of water, the other with two gallons. These provide an incredibly challenging workout when using them for walking lunges. Talk about working your core and stabilizer muscles! Great job gang! We also used the Jungle Gym to work on Hangs and everyone did a fantastic job gritting their teeth and performing this terrific exercise.

Yesterday morning we met at the Corvallis High School Track and had a terrific interval Tabata style workout. Nothing like getting your heart rate elevated to start the day off properly. The morning skies were warm and dry over the track and it was another great group workout. Tonight we meet at Reser Stadium on the campus of Oregon State University for our regular stair workout. This will be a good one and if you or a friend is interested in joining us please send Shandra an email or give her a call at (541) 207-8526.

Yesterday the Corvallis Fitness Adventures “Dare to Stair” Team competed in The Big Climb in Seattle, Washington. We had an incredible event at the Columbia Center. Our team members were hoping to climb the nearly 1400 steps in 20-25 minutes each and we absolutely blew those times away. Our fundraising goal was initially $1000.00 and we successfully raised just over $3500.00 for Leukemia and Lymphoma Research! Way to go team!

What a way to cap off our latest Boot Camp by competing in the Big Climb this weekend in Seattle! We have currently raised $3200.00 in donations for Leukemia and Lymphoma Research! Great job to all of our Corvallis Fitness Adventures Stair Climbing Team Members! You have all worked so very hard to get ready for this big event. All of those lunges, sumo squat walks, and stairs will pay off this weekend.

Last night we had a fantastic workout at Reser Stadium on the campus of Oregon State University. The weather was great and we completed the entire new side of the stadium encompassing over 1300 stairs in record time. Woo Hoo! We worked hard on the turf after the stairs with lateral runs, lunges, interval training, and then finished it off with some great core strengthening work. During our cool down and stretching we implemented the foam rollers and everyone got a chance to see what a great tool the rollers are for deep tissue massage and stretching. These will come in handy in Seattle. Our next Fitness Boot Camp starts up March 29th so if you have not signed up make sure to send Shandra an email or give her a call at (541) 207-8526. Come on out and join us for the whole Boot Camp or maybe just drop-in to get a taste of this dynamic fitness workout with terrific people!

We have all worked so hard to get into phenomenal shape for this event and everyone should be incredibly proud of their efforts. Not only have we been training for The Big Climb but we have done all of this while continuing with our usual fanny kicking Boot Camps. All of our stair climbing, lunges, walking squats, resistance training, Burpees!, and core strengthening will pay off while ascending the stairs of The Columbia Center in Seattle this coming Sunday. Our fundraising has been incredible as we are now 200% above our goal. Thank you to everyone that has donated to our Corvallis Fitness Team. You and your friends can still donate by going to our team page.

We worked in a one hour stair climbing session yesterday at Reser Stadium on the campus of Oregon State University. The temps were perfect with no rain and we did over 2000 steps throughout the stadium. What a way to jump start your metabolism on a Sunday morning! If you would like to join us for a terrific workout then simply send Shandra Milstein an email or give her a call at (541) 207-8526. Drop-ins are always welcome and we would be happy to have you join our group of great Boot Campers!
