Miami Women-Only Fitness Bootcamp

Ladies,

Just when you thought all that math you learned in school was useless…. SURPRISE!  It’s ALL about the MATH!

Whether you want to lose, maintain or gain weight, you HAVE to know how much food you are putting into your body.  Your body receives food as energy and that energy is like fuel for your brain, muscles and organs.  If you have too much energy, it doesn’t get used/burned and is then stored for a rainy day.

To lose weight, you have to intake less fuel or burn more fuel than you ingest.

You have to create a caloric deficit so your body uses the stored energy for its needs – hence, burns the fat you already had stored!  That’s when you see that waist line shrinking!

So to lose weight, multiply your bodyweight (BW) by 10-14 (I usually use 12) depending on your metabolism, your current weight, how much weight you have to lose and activity level, and that’s how many calories you should consume everyday.  Or go to the LoseIt app and it will do the math for you.

Next, I will go over the importance of WHAT you eat.

Meet us at our favorite FIU spot this SATURDAY, MARCH 2nd!!

Be there at 6:59am, ready to sweat and push through a calorie-scorching, leg- and booty- burning, muscle-building fitness challenge!

A killer workout, guaranteed to leave you feeling accomplished, and pleasantly sore.

And then later on that day, if you want to learn some great martial arts and self-defense techniques, Coach Edir will be conducting a Muay Thai seminar at FFA @ 2PM.

Muay Thai (or Thai boxing) is kickboxing that originated in Thailand and is used everywhere in the world, including right here, in our bootcamp – the Friday and Saturday kickboxing classes!!  It is as an effective martial art & that’s why you’ll see it being used in the sport of MMA (mixed martial arts), namely in the UFC.  It is referred to as the art of eight limbs, as it encompasses kicking and punching not only with the hands and feet, but also using the elbows and knees.  JOIN US!!!

Also, it’s time to RSVP for this Sunday’s 1st EXTRA WORKOUT!!!!!  I’m so excited!
Please RSVP for either 7am or 8am, for Sunday, Feb 24 and bring your A-game!

Today is the first day of our GET YOUR BODY CALENDAR-READY Challenge!

This means that today is DAY 1 of many things…

If this is your first challenge with us, this day may represent DAY 1 of the beginning of a new lifestyle.  You are embarking on a health and fitness journey to learn to adhere to better eating habits and more regular exercise.  The hope is that the next 12 weeks become….forever!

Some of you have been waiting for this challenge to buckle down from 2018…and that’s OK.  These challenges are meant to motivate and help us get back on track!  Staying ultra focused and maximally disciplined all the time is not always realistic.

If you are already happily on a life-long journey of health and fitness, you may just need a bit of tweaking with your eating.  Now is the time.

So today we will observe it as DAY 1 of a NEW LEVEL OF DISCIPLINE.  We are in search of how strong we can be, mentally and physically.  We are looking to dig deep and take our motivation and focus to a whole new level…one we didn’t even know existed within us.  Once we find it…then we have to maintain that for at least 90 days!  Are you ready????   Let’s do it!

Meet us at our favorite FIU spot this SATURDAY, FEB 16!!

Be there at 6:59am, ready to sweat and push through a calorie-scorching, leg- and booty- burning, muscle-building fitness challenge!

A killer workout, guaranteed to leave you feeling accomplished, and pleasantly sore.
