A Little Bit about Queens Boot Camp…..and more….

Hi All!!!

So today’s blog post is dedicated to the amazing women of the Queens Boot Camp…..I am going to tell you a little bit about camp, my philosophy on fitness and wellness and the goals we try to accomplish in the four weeks we spend together at Boot Camp!!!

For starters, as you all know, the Queens Boot Camp is an all women’s fitness program geared towards weight loss, increasing muscle tone and overall fitness improvement. I seek to assist each and every camper with becoming FIT HAPPY AND HEALTHY. These goals are achieved through PLANNED workouts that are PREPARED in advance with the knowledge of me- Becky- to help each client achieve their weight loss and fitness goals. Each day of camp is different. Unless I get a bunch of requests for a particular class- I try to make each day of camp a new experience – for your body and mind. I incorporate strength training, cardiovascular workouts, endurance training, interval training, calisthenics, and more! I would have to say the most requested class is kickboxing and strength training. I try and have a version of each of those classes once per week in camp. I am a student of martial arts and have practiced for the past 8 years. I try and bring all of my advanced fighting training into the class and teach kickboxing in a more combat oriented format- rather than the typical group fitness type class. My strength training regime is created with the goal of firming the entire body and strengthening your mind.
Another class that I teach which is quite popular amongst the campers is FORZA- cardiovascular samurai sword fighting. Here are some pics and videos…….

In addition to the fitness component of camp, there is a great deal of time spent on talking food and nutrition. It is my belief that so many people are willing to “sell” you the magic secret of weight loss…..when really there is no secret other than they are stealing your money without you knowing it……
There is NO secret to weight loss……if you want to lose weight- you need to examine your eating HABITS……keep in mind a habit is something you do without thought!!!! So you must track your eating habits- preferably by writing down every particle of food you consume, then researching and figuring out the nutritional information on the food you consumed…..(keep in mind there are computer programs to help you with this daunting task…like Sparkpeople.com). Once this is done- a person can learn a lot about what they need to do to lose weight…….I also assist with a food journal examination and discussion at the end of each week……

Ok- so we have covered the FIT goal, the HEALTHY goal – now to HAPPY. In addition to the happiness generated by becoming more fit and healthy, I try to bring out the inner child of each camper ad help them feel free to be happy and do the unthinkable!!! Each calendar year, I organize several social trips. One of the most requested trips is to Flying Trapeze. We are fortunate enough to live in NYC where there are an abundance of circus schools and trapeze classes available. Here are some video clips from one our most recent trips. Here we visited the Streb Institute in Brooklyn, NY
