Vermont Fitness Adventure – 2011 AgendaNo Comments »
Trip Overview:
Revel in the color palette of New England’s fall foliage as we explore the lofty mountains, babbling brooks, pastoral farms and quaint villages that characterize Vermont. Get ready to mix it up with hiking in the forests, biking quiet roads past classic New England farms, world-class bootcamps and canoeing through ample offerings of autumn color.
2011 Vermont Fitness Adventure Agenda
Day 3 kicks off with another fat blasting, heart pumping bootcamp class. After a delicious home cooked breakfast, prepare yourself, because it’s all about the bike:
Weave through a landscape of farms, wooded mountains and pastures dotted with black-and-white Holstein cows. Our route climbs steeply to Bragg Farm Sugar House, the only sugar house in the area to still use buckets for collecting sap. After tasting maple syrup to your heart’s content, hop back on your bike and head out on tranquil dirt roads. Ascend slowly to Lake Elmore, where we enjoy a picnic lunch along the colorful shore before continuing to the lovely town of Stowe. For more miles, set out on the longer option over rolling hills, through stunning scenery and on some dirt-packed roads, meeting up with the group in Stowe. After a delicious and well deserved home cooked meal, we'll relax on a moonlit walk.
Day 4 We begin with a calorie scorching bootcamp class with gorgeous views of the mountains of Stowe, which is known as the Aspen of the East.. After a hearty, homemade breakfast, we’ll hike the Waterbury Trail on Hunger Mountain. This is a really nice hike because of the lack of development. Hunger has views of the Green Mountains to the west and Groton State Forest and the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the east. And along the way, there is some spots where you can cool off with a babbling brook. In the afternoon, This afternoon we canoe or kayak (at your option) the gentle Lamoille River through rolling farmlands with plenty of fall color and distant views of Mt. Mansfield. Great blue herons, beaver, otter, kingfishers and hawks may be observed during our two hour paddle. After a home cooked dinner, we'll relax with a inspirational movie.
We start off Day 5 with a rapid fat loss bootcamp class. After breakfast, we'll hike Stowe Pinnacle and Hogback Mountain Trail. The Stowe Pinnacle Trail is relatively short but steep, with a bald open summit from which you can see the Green Mountains to the west (including Camel’s Hump, the Bolton Range, the Nebraska Notch, Mt. Mansfield and the Sterling Mountain Range) and the Worcester Range. After lunch we'll relax our mind and body with one final yoga class. We’ll then head out to Stowe Village for some sightseeing and shopping as we explore the local flavor of the town. We’ll even stop in Waterbury at Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream Factory, Vermont’s leading tourist attraction. After a brief video and tour of the factory, we treat ourselves. We'll arrive back to the lodge in time for a healthy cooking class as we learn how to prepare a very healthy, and delicious dinner. We'll unwind with a moonlit walk.
Day 6 is our final day. We'll have one more fat blasting, heart pumping bootcamp class. After breakfast we'll gather around as a group, review the trip, and set some new fitness goals to work on after we arrive home. We'll depart around noon.

My 5 Favorite SupplementsNo Comments »
So, I'm on a really awesome eating plan right now which
I started one week ago today.
I've even kept my food log on Facebook the last 7 days.
I love it when my diet is really dialed in. I can already notice
how much better I feel and how lean my abs are getting
again.
Today I want to share with you my 5 favorite supplements
that I'm taking and why I'm taking them.
1) Krill Oil – Gives me quality Omega-3's that my body needs
and has 47 times the antioxidant power than regular fish oil
2) Whey Protein – protein helps to build lean muscle which
boosts metabolism. It also keeps you full and satisfied.
Since eating a protein at every meal can increase your
metabolism (since you burn more calories through digesting
it), I like to have a protein at every meal. So I usually drink
1-2 protein shakes a day.
3) Greens Powder – Since I have a hard time eating enough
green vegetables each day, the one I take contains 76 ingredients
based on greens, fruits, veggies, enzymes, pre and probiotics,
and more.
4) Post Workout Formula – You probably know by now that
your post workout nutrition can help you burn more fat and
get better results out of your workout. The one I take has
the perfect 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein.
5) Anti-Aging – Yes I'm old, so I'm taking an anti-aging
formula for overall health. It helps with joint pain, blood
pressure, the nervous system and a bunch of other things
that old people like me have to worry about. ; )
And there you have it – my 5 favorite supplements that I'm
taking right now while I am on a serious lean body program
and for my overall health.
Have an awesome day!

5 Minute Fat Loss SecretNo Comments »
You're busy, I'm busy, we're all busy right? Then how about a fat loss workout routine that fits your busy schedule? Are the 90 minute workouts of P90X something you can sustain the rest of your life? Maybe. But probably not.
Check out this quick fat burning workout that will get your heart pumping and your body sweatin' in just a few short minutes. Best of all, you can do this with just a medicine ball (optional) and a pair of dummbells and the workout can be done anywhere.
One round of this circuit takes just 5 minutes, so if you're short on time (let's say you only have 10 minutes), do 2 rounds of this circuit. Maybe on the weekend you have time for a 20 minute circuit, so do 4 rounds.
The workout is easy to follow along – there are 5 exercises. At each exercise, you'll perform the movement for 40 seconds. Rest for 20 seconds before moving on to the next exercise (so you switch exercises at the top of each minute). So one time through will take 5 minutes, 2 times through the circuit takes 10 minutes and so on (the clock never stops until the workout is complete).
The exercises are below:

7 Weird Movements For Flatter Abs3 Comments
Conventional abs exercises, like traditional crunches and sit ups, don't flatten your belly, right? I mean if they did, everyone that finished their workouts with hundreds of crunches each day would have washbard abs.
And we also know by now that to rock a flat belly in your swimsuit, you need to have a natural, whole, clean diet and should be eating these foods.
But if you're looking for more effective exercises for flatter abs, and have your diet and weight training under control, try these variations of the plank to put a jolt into your abs workout. You'll find that these are fun, and much more effective ways to tighten your belly without a single crunch.
Lose Up To 7 Pounds in 4 Days With These Workouts
Rock and Roll Plank
Diagonal Spiderman Planks
Spiderman Planks
Plank Jacks
Stability Ball Plank
Stability Ball Moving Plank
Suicide Planks

Rocky Mountain Bootcamp In Colorado1 Comment
All right, first of all check out the gorgeous picture above. That's the view we had on one of our hikes this week and it's what you're missing if you're not here in Colorado this week as part of our Rocky Mountain Fitness Adventure. Not to worry, though, we have an awesome trip in Vermont coming up in October.
Anyway, we're about to go out on a hike later this morning and then whitewater rafting this afternoon, but I wanted to show you the bootcamp workout we did this morning int eh cool, crisp, fresh air of the Rocky Mountains. 
1) Run 50 yards up a hill (and back)
2) T- Stabilization x 10 each
3) In/Outs x 20
4) Squat Jumps x 20
5) Walking Lunge x 20 total up a hill followed by uphill sprint x 10 yards.
6) 8 Count Bodybuilders x 8
7) Draw 2 cards
a. Diamonds = Get Ups
b. Hearts = Suicide Planks
c. Clubs = Jumping Lunges (each)
d. Spades = Russian Twist (each)
When you draw the cards, whatever suit shows up is the exercise you do, and whatever number is on the card is how many reps you do. Aces = 11 reps, Jacks, Queens, Kings are 10 reps.
Each time you go through the circuit, add 2 reps to exercise #2, 3, 4, and 6 and draw 2 extra cards each round (so round 2 is 4 cards, round 3 is 6 cards, etc).
Perform as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes. Rest as needed.

Firm, Flat Abs In 15 Minutes3 Comments
If you want to get firm, sculpted sexy abs (and if you've been reading this blog at all), you understand that crunches just won't do it. They strain your neck, can injure your lower back, and flex your spine (when you should be training your spine for stability). Crunches also don't burn belly fat, so as you can see, they are overall just a waste of time.
There are a lot of awesome plank style movements that will strengthen and tighten your abs, but this workout will focus on standing movements. Not only will these movements help to firm and flatten your abs, you'll be improving your posture, and strengthening your hips, legs, arms and shoulders, making it much easier to carry heavy grocery backs or sprint after your little ones.
In this 15 minute abs workout, we've got 4 exercises. Do each one for the prescribed number of reps, with no rest in between exercises. Rest for 30 seconds after completing 1 round of the entire circuit and then repeat 3 more times for a total of 4 rounds.
Here are the exercises:
Resistance Band Rotation x 15 Each Side
Diagonal Woodchoppers x 12 Each Side
Medicine Ball Slams x 20
Overhead Bulgarian Split Squat x 10 Each Side
