RoxyBbootcamp!!

I will be running a RoxyBbootcamp starting in mid-Feb for my peeps in the North Dallas area!   Please let me know if you are even remotely interested.  Right now it's looking like it will run from mid-Feb to mid-Mar (4 weeks).  We will most likely meet either in Frisco or McKinney.  If enough interest is developed in another area we will def revisit the location issue!  We're looking at an early morning bootcamp, 3 days a week.  Come on... you know you want to!  AND! Because this is my first RoxyBbootcamp of the year, you will EVEN get an insanely awesome price :)  You in?

Sneaky Ways to Burn Calories!!

I'm gonna go ahead and assume that most of you intend to exercise a little more and consume a little less in 2011. Whether you've made it an official resolution or not, it's a great goal...and one that you will be SO thankful you stuck with when you're lighter on the scale and overflowing with energy come 2012!  Here are my 5 tips for the day to help you up the calorie burnage this year!

TOP 5 SNEAKY WORKOUTS for 2011:

1. Park in the FIRST empty parking space you see.  Everywhere you go.
   Make this your new normal and you'd be amazed to know that you will burn thousands more calories than you would have otherwise.
2. Boycott the elevator! 
   Unless, of course, you're lugging a way heavy load with you.  Not only will you burn {lots} more calories by taking the stairs, but over time you'll tone those stems big time!
3. KINECT w/your inner gamer.$149.99 will be worth the splurge.  Whoever came up with the idea of playing a game AND burning a ton of calories simultaneously needs a BIG kiss.
4. Two Words: DANCE. PARTY.
   Dancing is one of the top calorie-burners around!  Pump up your fav tunes while you're getting ready to go out, doing dishes, cooking, cleaning...and brush up on your moves!
5. Embrace the Frugal Lifestyle
   Wash your car yourself instead of taking it in.  Clean your bathrooms/kitchen top to bottom once a week and give your housekeeper a break!  Pack & move yourself (w help of course!) instead of hiring packers/movers.
    

The key is this: The little things add up!  It's about changing your LIFESTYLE, not making temporary changes.  These suggestions may not seem all that appealing to you, but give it a shot.  I would venture to say that if you stick with it, you'll be quite fond of the results!

Squeeze it In!!

I don't know about you guys...but I am in a phase of life where my days are anything BUT regimented.  With 2 babies at home, I have to be flexible to allow for their needs and just kind of go with the flow!  Plans change at the last minute on a very regular basis!  And free time is hard to come by! For this reason, my workout schedule is completely and totally random.  I'm not following a detailed workout plan.  I don't workout at the same time every day.  And, since my baby is too young for the gym's childcare area, I RARELY make it to the gym.  So, I typically work out at home.

Make a commitment to yourself this week!  Dedicate 10-30 minutes of each day to exercising.  Whether you go on a 15-min run (or jog/walk!), work in some squats/lunges/push-ups in front of your fav TV show, or bust out those dusty dumbbells to do a quick upper body routine, just commit to making it happen!  Creating a habit is the hardest part, but you've gotta start somewhere!  Let this week be the week!  You might be surprised how much better it makes you feel!

--Peace. Health. RoxyB!
