Miami Women-Only Fitness Bootcamp

Good morning all!

This week we will have 2 morning classes on Thanksgiving Thursday, and 2 morning classes on Black Friday. All other days will be our regular schedule, including Saturday SOLE SISTERS where we will meet in Tropical Park.

Have a great week!

I am grateful for another week!

Here are some powerful words to live by…

Tomorrow’s SOLE SISTERS session will be in our favorite garage at FIU at 7am. Comment below if you need further information re: location. Stairs do a booty good!

SUNDAY’s EXTRA WORKOUT #5 is soon approaching! Please RSVP for either 7am or 8am by replying to your email. This workout is the second last one before the end of the challenge and before we announce the cash prize winners of our BIGGEST LOSER contest!

Many of you have expressed wanting to work out earlier on Thanksgiving Day so we are going to keep our regularly scheduled morning classes. Students who normally train in the evening classes are welcome to jump into any of the 2 morning classes.

Please help us help the less fortunate in our community. We’ve partnered with MIAMI RESCUE MISSION to provide meals for the hungry and homeless of our community. Their goal is to raise enough food to help feed around 250,000 meals to the thousands living in shelters and on the streets. Together, we are promoting this year’s campaign, PACK THE PANTRY food drive!

We have set up a table in the lobby at the gym for your donations. Some suggested items are listed below:

• Canned vegetables
• Boxed cereal, oatmeal
• Canned meat
• Instant potatoes
• Coffee
• Rice
• Dry milk
• Sugar
• Condiments (ketchup, mustard, etc)
• Stuffing mix

our soldiers!

Veterans Day is a time for us to pay our respects to those who have served. For one day, we stand united in respect for our veterans – the men and women who sacrificed their lives for ours.

This holiday started as a day to reflect upon the heroism of those who died in our country’s service and was originally called Armistice Day. It fell on Nov. 11 because that is the anniversary of the signing of the Armistice that ended World War I. However, in 1954, the holiday was changed to “Veterans Day” in order to account for all veterans in all wars.

On this day, and every day, we THANK YOU!

The holidays are filled with opportunities to indulge in rich foods and to consume FAR more calories than normal. Add to that the travel, staff parties, house guests and gatherings that cut into your workout routine, it’s no wonder that you’re left in a state of being overfed and under-exercised. It’s a recipe for weight gain! However, you do NOT have to sit by and accept the extra pounds. You can still enjoy yourself without the excess overeating! Here are some simple tips to help swing the calorie balance back into your favor and not wish you were where you are now:

• Don’t eat after 7pm.
• Drink a healthy protein shake for breakfast.
• Limit yourself to ONE sugar treat per day, rather than dozens (….this means be conscious of what you’re eating!)
• Exercise a minimum of 4 days each week.
• Come to bootcamp, all through the holiday season!

If you must indulge, limit yourself to one day, e.g. Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Eve. You are in control!!! You can do this!
