Wilmington has a ton of options when it comes to exercise, in fact I have been a personal trainer for over 12 years and have seen and heard everything. In 2008 I converted all of my personal training over to fitness boot camps and life has never been the same for me or my clients. The overall health and weight loss results have been phenomenal! The following video is one of my bootcamp clients from right here in Wilmington NC. Loice started her journey over a year ago and it has been spectacular. I really hope you enjoy it and that her success can bring you hope.

The number one reason why people don’t exercise is that they don’t have time.
At least that’s what we tell ourselves (I have done it too) . But the bottom line is that this is just another excuse to put off, procrastinate or to just plain out avoid doing what it takes to be fit and healthy.
I know we are all busy. Between getting to and from work, balancing home responsibilities of kids and meal prep, and having time for ourselves, there’s little left over for workouts.
The Holiday season has now come and gone so that in itself should help alleviate the time obstacle. But rest assured other things will come up that will seem important and will try to intervene to make us put off our workout time. We have to decide right now what we can do to make sure we still get our exercise in. We must be proactive in our approach.

When I was in Orlando last week I heard some great and inspirational speakers. The principles that they presented were geared towards success in business, however, these same principles apply to our everyday lives. I think these little nuggets might give you some encouragement for your fitness program.
Get a New Perspective
Realize that there are 2 main reasons people fail. Number one, the thoughts that occupy your mind and
number 2, the people you associate with. Decide to change your mindset, think about things that you are going to accomplish, not the ones you have failed to accomplish. Realize it is ok to fail sometimes, just charge ahead afterwards.
Find your Why?
Determine why you want to get into shape, why you want to lose weight or why you want to _________________. Write down why this is important to you and what it will mean to you once you have accomplished it. Get specific, this is going to help direct you in the coming weeks and months.
Be a Planner
This is a big one, I really struggle here myself. Block your time, plan your meals, plan your week, plan your days. Work from lists, prioritize and do those things first. Managing yourMore on Strategies for success in your fitness program!
Though we all know that we should get plenty of fiber in our diet is good and that vitamin C makes a big difference when you are looking at moving forward and getting healthy after an illness, the question is always there, what supplements are specifically good for women? Which ones should I be taking? When you walk into the store you will be bombarded with a million different options so start with the ones here to get you going.
As women age, they often find that they have issues with their bodies that might have been put off by taking vitamins or supplements earlier. Make sure that you are getting some of the following supplements into your diet and you will find that your body and even your mood can stay in much better shape.
If you are currently taking no vitamins at all and feel that you could use the extra nutritional insurance I would suggest taking a high quality multi-vitamin/multi-mineral. There are some really good options out there these days and you don’t even have to spend a fortune for them.
When you are looking at different kinds of oil supplements that need to make it into your diet, there are several that you need to look into. Three of the top oils that you need to look into are borage seed oil, black currant oil and primrose oil. They are particularly useful to women who have issues with PMS and menopausal hot flashes. They are important because they will serve as prostaglandin regulators and due to this, they can help you balance your hormonal levels. Also remember that one of the more pleasant benefits of these three oils is that they will help moisturize your skin and keep it feeling supple.More on Some of the best supplements for women’s fitness.
Boot Camp is like having a personal trainer, but a lot less expensive. Monty presents so much material in a relatively short period of time, in a very enjoyable atmosphere. For many of us, who like to workout, Monty showed us the way to make our workouts more effective by taking it a lot more seriously. I have been participating in Monty’s boot camp since January of 2008 and it has truly changed the way I feel about myself. I have lost weight, body fat (I am now ONLY 16.5%) and overall feel healthier!
Over the last year and a-half my routine of exercising at least 3 times a week was interrupted by time I needed to devote to my aging parents. Mom (92) fell and broke her hip last Sept. and Dad died 2 weeks later. So I slowly found myself unable to participate in my step workout that I loved, started eating on the run and finally started seeing the lbs slowly inching up. I knew I had to do something but did not want to start a diet that I knew I could not stay with.....too many other things to keep up with. I talked with a co-worker that looked terrific and asked her what she was doing to have lost so much weight. She indicated that she was on "Weight Watchers" but she felt the real reason she was loosing was the "Boot Camp" she was going to.....I wondered how she was doing that since I knew she had had knee surgery.....it sounded interesting so I looked on line and found "Monty's Boot Camp"......I tried it for week.....and it was such fun and challenging and in close proximity to my Mom's assisted living facility making it convenient to swing by after working out.....my goal was to loose 20 lbs.......well it's been 3 months and I have lost 18 lbs, and dropped 2 sizes (I did not expect that!).....I am eating smart but not dieting and really eat what I want on week-ends. I love the people, workouts (which are different each day), facility and the way my body is responding to the workouts. I have really learned how important it is to be strong as you grow older watching my mom struggle to gain upper and core body strength just to walk with a walker. I'm so glad I gave this new way of keeping fit a chance.....my metabolism needed a bump and it sure got one!....I look forward to each workout and consider it the best part of my day. Boot Camp sounds scary but it's fun and Monty is such an encourager regardless of your size, goals or personality..... he makes the workout work for you. Try it you'll like it!
