I love the concept of the Bootcamp. Knowing that your "group" is expecting you to arrive kills the lazy thought of, "Ill just skip today." There's an unspoken expectation that if we're getting our butt kicked, you had better get here and get your's kicked at well because we hurt and succeed together."
Well, this summer is going to be different. I will use some of the topics of this blog to share my experiences and thought on heath and working out with you as I seriously get beach body ready for Mexico this December.
About New You
New You Personal Training Services is a company that was established in 2006 by my husband Eddie. He set out on a journey to become healthier and lose weight. He wanted to change his family tree habits of unhealthy eating and lack of exercise. Eddie started working out a few days a week at a gym near his job. Because Eddie has such good interpersonal skills, his work colleagues began joining him at the gym and at Southwestern track. He seemed to have a natural instinct for teaching people how to lose weight and tone. I'll never forget his colleague Jackie who would walk around the track at Southwestern High school at a rate of .2 miles per hour. Our 3 year old daughter would float past her time after time and we would all laugh. Now (when she's cooperating), Jackie can run around the track, lift weights, do strength exercises and ultimately ended up losing over 50 pounds at 50 years old.
Other co workers began to train with Eddie and from this point, his company was formed as "New You Personal Training." He's been successful with helping people lose weight, tone, and become healthier beings. The greatest aspect of the business is watching someone uncover a confident "new self". Watching their happiness and joy is amazing and feels priceless
I've always participated in the work outs and I must say that I have had some good success; usually in the summers when I'm off work, but I've never seriously toned my body to it's potential. I'm not like my husband. He's one of the few people who actually enjoys exercising. He likes the burn of lifting and the sweat from cardio. I'm one of those many people who do it not because I like it, but because I know I need to do it. I don't enjoy the burn or the sweat.
I'm always proud of myself when I'm done, but there's this battle within that I always have to win before beginning the workout routine. The psychological confrontation I have with myself is a grueling battle, but one that I'm always pleased to have won at the end each workout session.
I'm going to push past my level of resistence and explore more challenging exercises. I want to see the results of my determination and hard work. I'm looking forward to taking you on this journey with me.
