Here is what Deborah, Queen Boot Camp at Diva Fitness at her Livermore Boot Camp, Pleasanton Boot Camp and Dublin Boot Camp locations teaches you about the shoulder........


THE SHOULDER and how it functions.....

The shoulder is a remarkable joint built primarily for movement, but also possesses a great deal of stability.  Most joints such as the knee, spine, and ankle derive their stability from ligaments. The shoulder however is different in that the majority of its stability is provided by muscles.  These stabilizing muscles are called the "rotator cuff" and are found underneath the overlying deltoids muscles. The rotator cuff is commonly injured in sports such as football, baseball, and gymnastics.

Livermore Boot Camp Trainer Reveals ~ Seven Secrets To Maintain Weight Loss

Livermore Boot Camp Adventure Fitness Trainer, Deborah Sandoval, "Queen Boot Camp" is a Natural Force Fitness Lifstyle Expert, Healthy Lifestyle Coach, Certified Adventure Boot Camp Fitness Trainer, Online Personal Trainer. TRX Suspension Trainer and Outdoor Fitness Expert.


When she coaches her Livermore Boot Camp, Pleasanton Boot Camp, Dublin Boot Camp locations, she makes sure to give her campers the information that will help them succeed in reaching their goals in health and fitness and to achieve a healthier lifestyle.


Here is Deborah Sandoval, "Queen Boot Camp", advice on how you can maintain weight loss.....

If you've ever lost weight, you know how hard it is to keep it off.

Ever wonder why some people are able to keep weight off, while others put it right back on? Read on for the 7 Secrets to Maintain Weight Loss. (And if you still have pounds to lose, these 7 secrets will help you too.)

Secret #1: Keep on Moving
If you're serious about keeping the weight off, you need to be serious about your workouts. Keep your activity level high, both in and out of the gym. Your workouts should consist of both cardiovascular training and strength training. While out of the gym make an effort to move as much as possible by taking the stairs, going for walks or jogs and participating in recreational activities.

Secret #2: Be a Healthy Eater
Sorry, you can't go back to eating at the drive thru and expect to maintain your weight loss. Focus on these 3 aspects of healthy eating:

1.Keep calories low. Gone are the days of eating mindlessly. Be aware of everything that goes into your mouth, whether by journaling or simply keeping a mental tally.
2.Be careful. Eat small portions, avoid high-calorie foods and check nutrition labels. You don't have to swear off chocolate forever, just eat it occasionally with portion control.
3.Eat a balanced diet. Include a variety of fruits and vegetables, lean meats and whole grains.
Secret #3: Turn off the TV
The average person watches a whopping 35 hours of television each week. People who successfully maintain weight loss, on the other hand, watch an average of 7 hours or less. TV watching encourages snacking and puts you in a sedentary position on the couch. Spend less time in front of the TV and enjoy longer lasting weight loss.

Secret #4: Keep it Simple
While it is important to keep a variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet, your diet should be fairly simple. Create a repertoire of basic whole foods: fruits, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, beans and nuts. When you cut down on your options it becomes easier to stick to your plan, making weight loss guaranteed.

Secret #5: Track Yourself
Your biggest fear is gaining back every solitary lost pound, but don't be afraid of your scale. Weigh yourself at least once each week to monitor any gains. If the numbers begin to climb then reduce calories and increase your exercise.

Secret #6: Eat for the Right Reason
Emotional eating is one of the top reasons that people are overweight. It's very important that you view food as fuel, not as an answer to deeper emotional needs. When food becomes more than just fuel, the pounds quickly add up. If you want to keep your weight under control, you're going to have to eliminate emotional eating.

Secret #7: Forget All-Or-Nothing
No one is perfect – not even you! There will be days when you eat more calories than you should have. There will also be days when you miss a workout. Don't let small slipups send you into a tailspin of all-or-nothing sabotage. Simply get back to your healthy lifestyle rather than letting yourself backslide into your old habits.

Don't be one of the many who skip these 7 secrets and instead return to life pre-weight loss. You worked hard to be where you are – you deserve to keep it.

I'm always available to help you achieve any fitness or weight loss goal. Call or email to get started on a solid exercise program that will change your body and life forever.

Do you want to flatten and sculpt your waist in time for summer this year? All you have to do is decide that you really want it. Commit to yourself-you deserve it. CHALLENGE YOURSELF AND YOUR BODY.

Livermore Boot Camp Trainer wants to know...Who Else Wants the Secret to Great Abs?

Livermore Boot Camp Adventure Fitness Trainer, Deborah Sandoval, "Queen Boot Camp" is a Natural Force Fitness Lifstyle Expert, Healthy Lifestyle Coach, Certified Adventure Boot Camp Fitness Trainer, Online Personal Trainer. TRX Suspension Trainer and Outdoor Fitness Expert.


When she coaches her Livermore Boot Camp, Pleasanton Boot Camp, Dublin Boot Camp locations, she makes sure to give her campers the information that will help them succeed in reaching their goals in health and fitness and to achieve a healthier lifestyle.

Here is her advice on what the secrets are to great looking abs......


It never fails. As spring approaches people start thinking about getting in shape for summer. And every year the number one thing I'm asked at our Livermore Boot Camp, Pleasanton Boot Camp, and Dublin Boot Camp locations, is "How can I get great abs?"


You've probably pondered that question at some time or another and you're likely frustrated with your waistline. Maybe you've given up on your abs after doing dozens of crunches only to see zero results. I don't blame you.

Forget everything you've heard about how to sculpt your abs. Crunches simply won't give you a six pack.
You see, to do crunches with the hope that it will turn your midsection into a washboard is to operate under one of the most widely held fitness myths. I'm talking about spot reducing. Simply put, training one area of your body will not specifically burn fat from that area. At our Livermore Boot Camp, Pleasanton Boot Camp and Dublin Boot Camp locations, our campers do exercises that will bring them results and we do very little crunches and when we do them they are only the ones that count.

You've probably heard that spot reducing is a myth, but most people still train as if it is true. Doing crunches will not magically make your waist shrink, it will not cause your muffin top to disappear, and it will not give you washboard abs. Only a drop in body fat will do that for you.

So what is the secret to great abs? Instead of endless crunches, the secret is a winning combination of fat burning cardio, resistance training, and proper eating. At Tri Valley Adventuer Boot Camp we are making things happen with our campers. Our program gives them a complete experience along with great tools to help them achieve their fitness goals. Awesome workouts, nutrition manual and handouts, FREE nutrition seminar, and endless motivating support with an awesome bi-monthly newsletter.

It is absolutely possible for you to dramatically shape up your waistline before summer hits this year. Yes, Y-O-U. Weight loss is not reserved only for the people you've seen on the Biggest Loser or on diet pill infomercials. You can do it too. With the right tools from Natural Force Fitness, Inc and Tri Valley Adventure Fitness Boot Camp, "Queen Boot Camp", Deborah Sandoval one of the Tri Valley's top trainers will give you all that you need to succeed.

Answer the following two questions to see how your routine measures up:

How often do you exercise? If your answer was anything less than 4 times a week, then that's the first thing getting between you and streamline abs. How do you define a fat burning workout? A routine including intense cardiovascular training coupled with effective resistance training. Do you do this? NO!! Well come to our Livermore Boot Camp, Pleasanton Boot Camp or Dublin Boot Camp and get what you need to reach your health and fitness goals. Deborah Sandoval "Queen Boot Camp" will personally guide you through your program and help with any adjustments to nutrition and workouts to fit your level.

I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but walking on the treadmill for 30 minutes isn't a fat blasting routine. Neither is a leisurely 20 minutes on the elliptical machine. The truth is that you can dramatically increase your results while investing less time when you exercise right. At Tri Valley Adventure Boot Camp we give you workouts that combine strength, cardio intervals, combination moves that ROCK THE HOUSE. It's simple, to the point and we get results.

Cardio exercise is all about maintaining an effective level of intensity. This doesn't mean that you should be out of breath or gasping for air. It does mean that you need to push yourself. Cardio Intervals are the best along with Tabata work they will give you the best results and cardio interval training should be done at the end of a work out once you have already done strength training. Your body's metabolism is already running strong and the cardio bursts will give it that much more burn.

Resistance training is the second key part of a fat burning workout. This means working your major muscle groups against resistance in a way that stimulates your metabolism. Again the key here is to find the right intensity and to keep each muscle group guessing. Weight swings, squats that incorporate weights, weight training, squat curl presses, jumping jacks with weights and more. Join our Face Book page under Natural Force Fitness, Inc and Tri Valley Boot Camp to get some great FREE workouts to show you exactly what to do! Or better yet join our bi-monthly newsletter that is packed with lots of health, fitness and nutrition information to give you some great tools to jump start your program! For even more information follow our tweets on Twitter for Deborah Sandoval "Queen Boot Camp" .

What kind of shape is your diet in? Diet is a big stumbling block for most people-especially as it relates to their midsection. Here's a fact: If your diet is out of control then your abs will be too. You can't trim your waist without trimming the junk out of your diet, regardless of how hard you exercise.

•Keep calories in check. Do you know how many calories you eat? The best way to find out is to record everything you eat for a few days. Tally the number of calories that you eat each day and do an evaluation-feel free to recruit me to help out with this part. Together we'll chart improvements for your diet and adjust your calories for maximum results.

•Just say "No" to junk food. While this may seem obvious, your definition of "junk food" may need an alteration. Refined sugar is one of the biggest culprits in the junk food world-it is found in soft drinks, blended coffee drinks, cookies, cakes, packaged snacks, and other sinfully sweet treats. Processed fat is another monster. As a rule of thumb you can safely view all processed or refined items as junk food.

•Eat more frequently. The key here is to never let your metabolism "crash" by going hours without eating. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to skip breakfast-as this is the meal that 'breaks the fast' that your body goes into each night. Stick with eating small meals every few hours and always avoid stuffing yourself.

You should now understand why you are better off not wasting time on crunches-while it is important to exercise your abs a couple of times a week, you won't expect fat to fall of that area after 100's of crunches.

Do you want to flatten and sculpt your waist in time for summer this year? All you have to do is decide that you really want it. Commit to yourself-you deserve it. CHALLENGE YOURSELF AND YOUR BODY.

Boot Camp Fat Burning Nutrition Tips


At our Livermore Boot Camp, Pleasanton Boot Camp and Dublin Boot Camps, campers ask me all the time about what is the best way to go about having a healthy clean nutrition program. Good, clean nutrition is pretty simple. Here are my top five tips to achieving great nutrition for your boot camp fitness program.

1. Take out the sugar! Learn how to read the labels on the products you comsume. The less ingredients there are on the label the better. If you can't pronounce it you shouldn't be consuming it.

2. Take out the bad fat and keep the good fat. Raw nuts, olive oil and avacados are all great sources of good fat.

3. Increase your vegetable and fruit intake by two fold. This is what I call "Free Food" you can consume as much as you possibly can in a day. As long as it's fresh and clean. Check your local Farmer's Market to find great produce and support your local farmers. The closer you buy your produce the less chance it has of being covered with pesticides. Ask the farmers how they grow their produce.

4. Water, Water, Water!! Increasing your intake of water is essential for daily healthy life. We are composed of over 60% water so we need to replenish it throughout our day. If you are eating 5-6 small meals a day (as you should) then make sure you have a glass of water with each meal. That will at least get you started on your water intake.

5. Journal your daily food intake. Kaiser released results at the end of 2008 that should twice as much weight loss between two groups that were on the same nutrition plan for the same amount of time. Only difference one group wrote their daily food intake down in a journal. This helps show you how much you are taking in and where you need to make changes.

At Tri Valley Boot Camp (Livermore Boot Camp, Pleasanton Boot Camp, Dublin Boot Camp) we offer nutritional coaching to help our campers be successful. You can not out train bad nutrition. Strive to be at least 90% in your nutrition as a clean and fresh as you can get it.

We also have a 28 Day Jump Start Fat Burning Detox Nutrition Plan that is available for not only our campers but others who just can't make it to camp or who are looking to get there body running effeciently to give their fitness plan a boost.

If you are interested in our 28 Day Jump Start Fat Burning Detox Nutrition Plan, be the first to purchase your copy. Email us at info@trivalleybootcamp.com to be put on our Early Bird Waiting List. Don't wait!

My good friend and collegue Mike Mahler - expert strength coach, has posted a great article on how to take charge of your life! He did an outstanding job and it is well worth the read. Check out his article here on our Facebook page.

Decide to get off the fence and do something about your life. Make the changes you need to move forward and see where it takes you. I get asked all the time "How do you have all this energy to do what you do each day?" Well there are a few things I do to get me up and ready for my life.

1. Each day I arise I remember to give thanks to the universe that it has given me yet another opportunity to make a change.

3. Each day I start with an affirmation and a video I love to watch with Will Smith. See the post from February 13th below.

4. I remind myself "I don't know what I don't know!" Why? Well,then I am reminded that I need to know what I want to know and the only way is to get out there and seek and learn.

5. There will always be something that I just don't have the expertise to make a well rounded decision. It may be in my business, my children, my personal life or my relationships with those around me. So instead of trying over and over again to do it all myself.... I come to realize....I will at some point need someone to STAND BY ME! Click on STAND BY ME and Watch the video it's powerful!


6. If I ever get side track or lose my way. I always know I can Make A U-Turn to take me back where I started and try again. Never give up.

These are just a few things I do each day to help me out and make sure I stay focused on the path that I want to journey down. We will always have obstacles and we will always have those that come into our lives that seem to spread the negative energy. But in the final moment we and we alone have hold to the key to make the change.

Once big way I help myself stay clear and focused is by good nutrition. You can't beat it!

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!

300 Baby!

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.

Friday The 13th....Representing Possibilities

Here we are on Friday the 13th!!! Now there are a lot of people that I know and that are out there that make this day a day of gloom and doom. Well I am here to say "No Worries", it's just another day REPRESENTING POSSIBILITIES!

This year there are three Friday the 13th and it hasn't happened since 1998 and it won't happen again until 2015. Not that I really care about that, because anyone who knows me knows I don't, let's just think about this for a moment and see how you can turn things into a moment of success for you in your everyday life.

I watch a powerful video pretty much each day and each time I do I get all inspired and ready to go all over again. I have never really told anyone about the video but I am sure many many of you out there have already viewed it. Well for those that haven't I recommend you DO NOT pass up the opportunity.

Throughout my journey of life I have come across some great opportunities and have tried to make the right choices. But as we all know sometimes there are those choices that put us in a place that after the fact we wish we would have not chosen to make. As I always say, "would have, could have and should have, imply feelings of guilt". You already made the choice, you recognize the results did not put you in a favorable position, now make the choice to change your position.

I am a firm believer that no matter what the excuses or explainations we have for our good or bad choices, "We are who we CHOSE to be". This video confirms that there are others out there that agree that are making powerful choices to change not only themselves but the world around them.

Make a choice TODAY to live your life with the intent to rise again every time you fall and keep moving forward in the moment.

Hope you enjoy the video as much as I do ever day. If nothing else I certainly have no complaints viewing Will Smith's beautiful smile. It's just simply to die for! I will never be afraid to die on the treadmill again! SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW THE VIDEO!

MAKE THE CHOICE NOW AND KNOW YOU HAVE AN AFFECT ON WHAT HAPPENS....MOVE YOUR UNIVERSE

AND.....

Remember.............
