Boot Camp 300 Workout and The Benefits of Organic Nutrition

Today in our Tri Valley Boot Camp we did one of the many variations of the 300 Workout! Boy have my campers rocked the house on this one!! Thought you might enjoy it. Like I tell them every day.... don't be afraid to make your body a little uncomfortable, challenge it and see the changes begin.

Once you do the work out don't forget to read the article below about Splenda and how it really affects your body. Stick to the natural stuff, cut the sugars, increase your water intake, increase your veggies by two fold and have a balanced healthy fresh nutrition plan to support your macronutrients- Protien ~ Carbs ~ Fat.

Have fun with the workout! Let me know how you do. If I can be of assistance in your health and fitness needs just let me know!

Each set is 100 reps. # of sets for time. They had 20 minutes to see how close they came to the 300 rep goal. They kicked some BUTT! My newbies completed 200 reps and my SUPERSTARS surpassed the 300!

Great job ladies! Way to work hard, agressive and strong!

Here it is try yourself and modify it for your own fitness level by adding more weight or more reps per set.

Have fun!

This is an article that was shared with me by my fellow Adventure Boot Camp trainer Kelli Calabrese, is about Risky Foods regarding hormones, pesticides and carcinogens. I cover some of this in my camps about taking hold of your body and living healthy. I think you may be surprised at some of these findings.


Not Just HFCS and Peanut Butter: 10 Other Risky Foods
Is buying organic the answer to avoiding hormones, pesticides and carcinogens?
By Maura Judkis, U.S. News & World Report

As if we don't have enough to be worried about already. In the midst of food safety scares from salmonella in peanut butter and mercury in high fructose corn syrup, Sprig.com has produced a list of 10 other foods that can be dangerous. Their risks range from hormones to pesticides to carcinogenic substances. How to avoid many of these risks? Buy organic.


Farmed salmon. It's high in polychlorinated biphenyls, with 11 times more dioxins than wild salmon.


Conventionally grown bell peppers. They require more pesticides than any other vegetable—with as many as 64 being found on a single sample of pepper in one study.
Non-organic strawberries. Some growers of strawberries irrigate their plants with Nutri-Sweet-laced water. The sugar substitute is a probable carcinogen.


Chilean sea bass. The fish is high in mercury, and if eaten consistently over time, can elevate the body's mercury levels to dangerous amounts.


Non-organic peaches. Pesticides easily penetrate their soft skins and permeate the fruit.


Genetically modified corn. We still don't know the long-term effects of genetically modified corn, but it's been tied to an increase in allergies for humans.


Bluefin tuna. Not only is it high in mercury, but overfishing may drive the species to extinction and affect the sea's ecosystem.


Industrially farmed chicken. Arsenic has been found in conventional chickens, as has antibiotic-resistant bacteria.


Non-organic apples. When grown in humid Mid-Atlantic states, the crop uses more pesticides than California, Oregon and Washington states.


Cattle treated with rBGH. Recombinant bovine growth hormone has been traced to breast cancer and hormonal disorders.




So my suggestion when thinking about nutrition for you and your family if you stick to as much organic healthy fresh food as you can, your body will thank you in the long run. Treat it like the temple that it is.
