			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Boot Camp style workouts are very much the craze in the fitness industry right now.  This is because they are a great way to burn lots of calories in a short period of time.  They are easy to fit into a busy schedule, and can be done practically anywhere with very little equipment.  Boot Camp workouts are extremely efficient as you can work your whole body in a short period of time with extreme intensity.  They also avoid boredom as every workout and each exercise is different.  Boot Camp style workouts combine a series of calisthenics like jumping jacks, crunches, pushups, and other body weight exercises.  You work your heart and muscles by going from one exercise to another with no rest (just like super setting your exercises).  They also provide a person with a great way to combine cardiovascular training with strength training.  In Boot Camp, your challenge is to take your body to its limit. You work, you sweat and, best of all, you burn calories like crazy.  Your workout will be as challenging as you want it to be- work hard and work strong!</p>
<p>Time efficient workouts can help a busy person attain a healthy lifestyle.   An hour is often a large commitment that many people cannot make to fitness.  It is my personal belief that any exercise is better than no exercise…and I always advocate if you do not have one solid hour to dedicate to a workout- then get in 10, 20 or 30 minutes!  Whatever time you have!</p>
<p>For this 10 minute Boot Camp workout, I have developed a superset with two of my favorite moves- to help strengthen your entire body and get your heart rate pumping!  Perform this routine in the morning before you leave for work, then try to sneak in some cardio throughout the day, whether it’s taking the stairs to your office, walking to work, whatever!  You will see results in no time!  </p>
<p>Be sure to change up your routines and not work the same muscle groups on consecutive days.  Do what you can when you start.  This workout was not meant to be easy.  Also be sure to warm up and stretch out before you begin.  This is a total body workout that is meant to be challenging.  Try to make your movements continuous and exert maximum effort.  Drink water as needed. Good luck and have fun!!!</p>
<p><strong>BURPEES SUPERSET WITH SQUAT JUMPS </strong><br />
Perform 10 reps of the exercise described below to complete one set.  Rest 1 – 2 minutes in between sets; perform 3-4 sets depending on your fitness level.</p>
<p>Start position: Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides.  Crouch down into a deep squat position with your legs together, palms on the ground and hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart.  In an explosive movement jump/shoot both legs backward into a push up / plank position.  Keep your abs tight and back flat.  Bend your elbows and lower down into a push up.  After you push up into plank position, then jump both knees back into your chest to return to the deep squat position.  From there, leap straight up into the air, striving for maximum height.  Perform all four movements in fast succession to complete one repetition.  </p>

That is not how it works.  When a person wants to address problem areas, they must remember that visible fat, and excess weight is a signal from nature that something has to change in your life, whether it’s eating cleaner, exercising more or both!  Poor diets and lack of exercise will result in excess visible fat that makes us feel self conscious and sluggish.  Adding strength training, regular cardio and cleaning up the foods you consume will make a big difference in a short amount of time.   Too many people are missing one of those three factors in their fitness regimen which results in unwanted body fat!  In all areas!  As you start to incorporate better food choices, and begin to exercise, you will lose weight in all the areas you need to!  Why start a fitness plan with the goal of fixing one problem area?  Shouldn’t you want to look and feel good all over?</p>
<p>Nevertheless, to get rid of body fat in your upper and/or lower back region and eliminate cellulite, I suggest you do 3-4 days of cardio 30 minutes in duration, clean up your diet, paying good attention to your intake of sodium, and ensure you start on a strength training program that may emphasize your core region.  You should strength train 3 x per week for 30 minutes. Your reps should be 12-15 for 3 sets.  Keep in mind this routine will eliminate fat ALL OVER YOUR BODY – not just your trouble zones!  This schedule is great and versatile, because the strength and cardio workouts can be done on the same day, or broken up into 6 separate 30 minute workouts, with one full day of rest! Remember start slow and finish strong!  Any new change in your life must take place gradually to last!</p>
<p>As Always,<br />
Stay Focused Until the Miracle Happens!<br />

<p>Memorial Day is quickly approaching!  The official start to summer and barbeque season!  Too hot to cook?  Hosting a party or attending a pot luck barbeque?  Want to serve something tasty and healthy?  These turkey burgers will surely be a hit with your guests and they are great to freeze for those days you just don’t feel like cooking!  Quick, easy, yummy and good for you!  </p>
<p>Summer is a time for food, friends and relaxation.  There is no reason you can’t be health conscious and enjoy at the same time!  Healthy food is not only good for you – but with a little imagination it can taste great too!<br />
Turkey burgers are a popular alternative to beef burgers, they are low in fat, grill well, but can tend to be bland.  This recipe below is juicy, tasty and is fantastic with a slice of cheddar cheese!  The burgers go great on top of salads or on a whole grain bun (be sure to load up the veggies too!).<br />
Becky’s Healthy Tasty Turkey Burgers:<br />
1 1/4 pounds extra lean ground turkey<br />
1 cup salsa<br />
1/2 cup chopped shallots<br />
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro<br />
2 tablespoons olive oil<br />
1 tablespoon chipotle-flavored hot sauce<br />
2 tablespoons ground cumin<br />
Dash of salt and ground black pepper<br />
Fresh slices of cheddar cheese (optional)<br />
Mix ground turkey, 3/4 cup salsa, shallots, cilantro, 2 tablespoons oil, hot sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper in large bowl. Shape turkey mixture into four – six 3 1/2- to 4-inch-diameter patties.<br />
Place burgers in grill pan on barbeque over medium flame and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes per side – depending on the size of your burger.  A grill pan is necessary as the burger may be too soft to place directly on the grill.  Or in the alternative, you can heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and coat pan with non stick cooking spray. Add burgers; cook until brown, about 3 minutes per side. Reduce heat to low. Sauté until burgers are cooked through, about 4-6 minutes, turning occasionally (Time frame depends on the size of your burgers).<br />
Serve burgers over large tossed salad or on a whole grain bun topped with remaining salsa! Enjoy!!! Feel free to leave your comments! </p>
<p>As always, stay focused until the miracle happens!<br />
To Your Success and Health!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.oxelot.com/bootcamp/2010/05/10/so-you-want-to-learn-how-to-run/running-2/" rel="attachment wp-att-866"><img src="http://www.oxelot.com/bootcamp/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Running-2-300x199.jpg" alt="" title="Running 2" width="300" height="199" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-866" /></a><br />
Before I even begin- I want o make it clear that running is great cardiovascular exercise.  It is good for your heart, lungs and whole body. However, running is NOT the only form of exercise that will aid in weight loss- and in order to be in the best shape possible, your routine should include a hybrid of exercise forms that include cardio, flexibility training, strength training and socializing.  I preface my article with that statement as many people think running is easy- you put on sneakers, go outside or get on a treadmill and move your feet at a fast pace.  Anyone who has tried it – knows that simply is not true.</p>
<p>OK- so you want to learn how to run!  We all had to start somewhere- even me.  As a young girl I trained countless hours and ran hundreds of miles.  Law school, marriage and life interfered and I fell out of shape by my twenties.  My first jaunt back on the treadmill after a long hiatus left me breathless and frustrated after 45 seconds.  So I KNOW how you feel.  Follow the tips below to help get you on track to learn the proper breathing skills, pace setting skills and to help ultimately increase your physical fitness to a point where you can run a mile or more!</p>
<p><strong>Week ONE AND TWO: Start off SLOW!</strong> Plan for two training sessions of running each week.  Schedule them in as though they were non cancellable business meetings.  These will be short easy paced walk to runs about 30 minutes.  I want you to warm up at a brisk walk for 5 minutes and stretch (about 5 minutes).  Return to your brisk walk for 1 minute; then gradually increase your speed to a light jog until you start to feel yourself get tired.  Slow down and walk until you recover, catch your breath and have the energy to increase your output to a light jog again.  Repeat this cycle for 20 minutes. Then return to your brisk walk for 5 minutes; and stretch for 5 minutes.  This is a 30 minute workout.</p>
<ul>
<li>Please note a light jog is a pace where you can still talk although not comfortably.</li>
<li>While jogging, I want you to focus on your breathing; breathe in and out slowly and try to set a comfortable pace for yourself, where you feel you can continue moving for an extended amount of time.  If you run too fast – you will run out of breath and have to walk.  Run slower until your fitness level increases.</li>
<li>Also- I want you to jog ONLY for the amount of time that you have the energy to jog!  This could mean you jog 30 seconds and walk 1 minute.  That is OK!  Week 2 you will increase your jogging times from week 1!!!!</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Week THREE AND FOUR: Time to pick up the pace</strong>.  You have now been training for two weeks- I want you to warm up with a brisk walk for 5 minutes, stretch and then have a goal of reaching 5 minutes of a light jog consecutively.  You will use your 20 minutes of walk to jog time to try and accomplish this.  You can achieve your 5 minutes of consecutive jogging at any point in your 20 minutes of walk to jog time.</p>
<p><strong>Week FIVE AND SIX: Time to get serious.</strong>  You are going for a non stop 10 minute jog.  At this point, the challenge is mostly mental.  You should understand your breathing patterns better, and know how to pace your speed so as not to run out of energy too soon.  Work it, focus, KNOW that you CAN do it and you WILL do it.  Mind over Body; push beyond your comfort zone, pace yourself and go for the 10 minutes.  Again, use your 20 minutes of walk to jog time to get to the 10 minute goal.</p>
<p><strong>Week SEVEN AND EIGHT:</strong> Now you can increase your jogging time and speed as you feel comfortable.  You have learned how to control your mind, you have strengthened your body, have fun!</p>
<p><strong>NOTE:  </strong>I have only assigned two days of running per week, as I would like you to include strength training days, and flexibility training in your routine. Continue the following plan until you are able to run 30 minutes consecutively without stopping.  As always, the fuel you put in your body will affect your training so eat clean! Good luck, have fun and train hard!</p>
<p>As always,</p>
<p>Stay focused Until the Miracle Happens!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Becky Wenner<br />
In our society where obesity has become a crisis, and the lifespan of our children for the first time in history is lower than their elders, the most difficult question we all face – is what foods are good to eat for health, wellness and weight loss?  There are countless food products, diet pills and companies promising the secret to health and weight loss.  But the truth is many of those companies are profit driven, with no concern for the consumer’s health or well being.<br />
There is a saying&#8230;..<br />
If you could have hunted for it, fished for it, plucked it or gathered it, it belongs on your table.<br />
Fresh fruits, fresh veggies, lean proteins, nuts seeds&#8230;.these are all great healthy foods- made by the Earth itself- and here for your daily consumption!  It is only since the industrial revolution that the processing and mass production of food has developed.  The obesity crisis correlates to the start of this practice.  The best way to know if your food is processed, is to read the ingredients of a food; if you don&#8217;t understand them- don&#8217;t eat it! Why would you eat something when you don&#8217;t know what it is? Because it is in a nice package all pretty ready to purchase at the store? Cigarettes are also in nice little packages, ready for you to purchase at the store- AVAILABILITY does not mean it is good for you!!! Trust yourself- and your instincts when making food selections and be creative have fun! If you don&#8217;t enjoy what you are eating and what you are doing- your success will be short lived.<br />
Creativity is crucial – as it will lead to diversity in your food selection, prevent boredom and increase your overall enthusiasm about your new dietary changes!  Here is one of my favorite creative ways to eat fresh raw cabbage!  It is actually surprisingly tasty and extraordinarily healthy!  Don’t be afraid!  Try it!  You may be surprised!  </p>
<p>Fruity Yummy Cole Slaw Salad</p>
<p><img alt="" src="http://familyoven-recipe-images.s3.amazonaws.com/158529-medium.jpg" title="Fruity Cole Slaw" class="alignnone" width="163" height="200" /> </p>
<p>1/2 bag Dole traditional Cole Slaw salad mix<br />
1 Low Fat Stony Field Farms Vanilla Yogurt<br />
1/2  Apple cored and chopped into small bite size pieces<br />
1/2 Cup Raw Nut/Raisin mix &#8211; unsalted<br />
2 TBS Ground Cinnamon<br />
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and YUMMY! You are eating cabbage!!! Make two of these salads in a week and do you know how much cabbage you have consumed???</p>
<p>Remember- I am here if you want to talk!  Post a comment!<br />
Stay Focused Until the Miracle Happens!<br />

<p>Want to gain muscle, lose fat but have no time to spend hours at the gym!  No problem!  Push Ups are the answer!  This exercise will sculpt your arms, back, chest, shoulders and core, help you gain strength, build muscle and burn fat!  All you need is a few minutes a day, practice, patience and you will see changes within a few weeks!  In addition, push-ups can be performed anywhere, anytime with no equipment and most important- no cost!  It is a great form of exercise when traveling, or just trying to reach your goal of a healthy fit body!</p>
<p>This is a simple exercise to perform – and there are modifications if you don’t have the strength to perform one full rep (with legs out in plank formation) when you begin.  Follow these simple instructions and set your goal for maximum reps! </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">How to perform a push-up:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Place your body in the plank position; toes tucked, heels pressed back, legs straight and activated, abs tight, hands placed on the floor, palms down, directly underneath your shoulders.</li>
<li>Be sure to keep your neck straight and look ahead of you while you bend your elbows and slowly lower your body to the ground; your goal should be to touch the floor with your chin.</li>
<li>Now, press out with your breath, exhale and push back up – making sure to maintain a straight back and proper form.  You will have to flex your quads and abs to help assist you with the motion.</li>
<li>Repeat the movement to failure (as many reps as possible)</li>
</ul>
<p> Video:</p>
<p><object width="640" height="385"><param value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lFE9PHcQj9Y&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;"></param><param value="true"></param><param value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lFE9PHcQj9Y&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object></p>
<ul>
<li>If you are new to exercise or do not have the strength to perform full out push-ups – you can modify this exercise by dropping your knees to the floor.  This will decrease the amount of your body weight that you are lifting. </li>
<li>Be sure not to be intimidated!  Practice and patience will have you stronger than ever and doing more reps then you ever imagined possible!  Try mixing it up with walks, jogging, biking or other exercise to get a full body blast in a quick amount of time!</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to comment below!  Remember, the pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret!  Eat, exercise and be happy!  That is what life is all about!</p>
<p>Stay Focused Until the Miracle Happens!</p>
<p>To Your Success &amp; Health,</p>

<p>So I was in CVS this past Sunday, and I had an experience that had a profound impact on me and I wanted to share with you all.  It is a rare occasion that I am at the prescription counter of any pharmacy as I am relatively healthy &#8230;.but this past weekend I went in to CVS to pick up an RX for my dog Arnold.  I went to the counter and there was a line in front of me, so without thought, I stood there waiting to be helped.  In front of me, there were 2 women and a child.  Having no idea who they were, from their interactions, and looks, I could tell it was a woman in her mid &#8211; late 30&#8217;s with her young daughter, about 6 or 7 years old, and the grandmother, who was in her mid to late 60&#8217;s.  Both of the women had excess weight on them (about 50 pounds each give or take), but I thought nothing of it until&#8230;..the younger woman told the clerk her name and said she was there to pick up her prescriptions.  The pharmacist found her bag of pills, rang them up at the cash register and called out her total of $270.64!  The woman gasped! And questioned how this could be she was only getting, lipitor and other meds of the sort.  Well it seems she has a deductible to fill at the beginning of the year, and she was forced to put the meds on her credit card.  I was mortified!  $270+ for prescription meds????  </p>
<p>I looked at the young girl and felt sorry for her that her Mom&#8217;s money was just spent on these meds and I felt terrible for the young mother as clearly with a child I am sure she has better things to spend her hard earned money on!  After the transaction was complete, the grandmother stepped up to the register and went through the same song and dance&#8230;..$100+  in prescription meds &#8211; I recognized a cholesterol med as well as an rx to quit smoking (and by the rasp in the grandmas voice you could tel she was trying to quit).  Again, I felt terribly sorry for this woman.  65+ years old, spending money on meds.</p>
<p>I was forced to think and ask myself- if these women had simply taken a little bit better care of themselves, just ate a LITTLE bit better, maybe walked each night after dinner for 30-60 minutes&#8230;.or even exercised a few hours a week, could this expense and pain these women were now enduring be prevented???? </p>
<p>All of the research says YES &#8211; there is a GOOD possibility that these women would have been able to spend the $400+ they spent in front of me on that morning ANYWHERE else &#8211; had they just taken a little bit better care of themselves&#8230;&#8230;..WOW I can&#8217;t tell you how many things I could do with $400!!!</p>
<p>So now I ask you &#8211; are you taking care of yourself? No time?  Not interested?  Think about the situation these women are facing and maybe their lessons can be a motivator and lesson to you!  It certainly was enlightening and heart breaking to me&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>I was really bothered by this whole ordeal and wanted to share it with you&#8230;..to give you some real food for thought&#8230;&#8230;Sometimes the actual truth is a little more empowering than me being a constant cheerleader&#8230;..I am here for you &#8211; but I need you to be there for you too!  Forge ahead and go take a fitness class this weekend!  Do wait a moment longer!</p>
<p>As Always,<br />
To your Success and Health,<br />
