January 27, 2012

The folks over at Lifehacker answered a reader’s question about how to quickly recover from a tough workout. Their responses are spot-on and we want to share them with you!

Dear Lifehacker,
I went to the gym the other day and did a very difficult (brutal) workout and now my whole body is sore. It’s hard to walk and my knees buckle when I go down the stairs. Is there any way to quickly recover from a tough workout? Things I should be eating, stretches to do, or anything else? Should I head back…

Boot Camp

January 15, 2012

Congratulations to the following people for losing the highest percentage of body weight in their respective camp (ranked by percentage and prize!) and getting to split the $1,000+ in pooled cash and prizes:

FALL BOOT CAMPS

Courtney McManus (Morning Camps) lost 7.5% of her body weight or 10.2 lbs and has won our grand prize of $150!
Lindsey Brown (Evening Camps) lost 4.8% of her body weight and has won a $75 prize.

FALL II BOOT CAMPS

Stacie Donahue (Evening/Camp D) lost 6.3% of her body weight or 13.4 lbs and has won our grand prize of $150!
Jen Lee (Evening/Camp C) lost 5.0% of her body weight or 8.4 lbs and has won a $50 prize.

In addition to their cash prizes, each of our winners has also won one (1) free month of Triad Boot Camp–a $179 value!

While we had A LOT of great results and some very close results, our winners were selected based on percentage of body weight lost. We also had some great results from people who unfortunately did not participate in the BL Challenge. As they say, “You gotta pay to play!” And, it only costs $10 to enter the contest each camp.

Having been on high blood pressure meds for 10 years, my doctor halved my dosage and I may be off it completely in 6 months. Blake, thanks for the daily butt-kicking and continued motivation!! I am indebted to you for life. You have helped me physically and probably even more so mentally. You cannot imagine the stress that you have helped me deflate and get rid of. The best thing boot camp has done for me though, is change my mind set and brought on a complete lifestyle change that I have wholeheartedly committed to and embraced.

Hey Patrick,
In case I haven’t told you yet... thank you. Your workouts are extremely challenging & are pushing me to and often beyond my limits. This is exactly what I need! A week ago, I couldn’t run one lap, today I ran 2. Next week – 3 or more. Your calorie counter chart has made me think about the food that goes into my body. I may not be keeping up with “the rest of the class” this go around, but I’m already looking forward to the next Boot Camp to push my limits even farther! Thanks for the motivation. See you tomorrow morning!

This is a great deal! Boot camp is lots of fun and hard work. I have only done it for 2 weeks so far and I have already seen results. Come join us!!

At age 39, I did back-to-back bootcamps with Patrick in January and February 2010 to kickstart my weight loss effort started in December 2009. My starting weight was about 226 pounds. I lost over 12 pounds and also fully ran my first mile EVER by the end of the first camp and lost another 6 pounds in the second camp. MORE IMPORTANTLY, I got the kickstart I was looking for and really (FINALLY!) got into exercising. Last year I lost about 40 pounds of fat and added muscle. I’m in the best shape of my life and it feels great!

I just wanted to let you know how great I thought the evening boot camp was. I thought Blake and Sam did an outstanding job at working us hard and making it fun and I’m glad they didn’t go easy on us. I’ll be doing it again for sure. Thanks so much!

I have to say thank you. Patrick, working out with you these last four months has completely changed my life. Completely. I am literally not the same person I was when I first walked into the studio in April. You have to know how grateful I am for your support, your professionalism and your friendship. I really needed for things to change when I came to you and boy have they ever. Changing my body has brought about change in every other aspect of my life. You have, in no small way, been part of a team of people who have reintroduced me to a person that I have not been for about 10 years. 10 years is a long time to be unhappy and hateful to yourself – and you have been instrumental in bringing my center of focus back to a more honest, loving and positive me. So, thank you.

Ryan in Winston-Salem

Thank you again for the boot camp opportunity. I have lost a full pants size, but more importantly, I have been inspired to MOVE! I even exercise at stop lights on my way to work! I was completely sedentary before taking the camp and now everyone at work says I have more energy than anyone they know. I went to the camp in hopes of losing weight, but I have come out of it with a change in lifestyle that will insure a healthy, physically fit and happier me.
