Fat Loss Challenge - Kitchener And Guelph

We recently had our first fat loss challenge in kitchener and guelph. It was a great experience for both myself and all the participants. The challenge was 21 days long. Participants had to attend 3 bootcamps a week and were given a healthy, well balanced meal plan to follow. We weighed in and measured once a week. The goal was to lose 10lbs in 21 days in a healthy manner.

As a collective whole, out of 21 people in 21 days, 120lbs was lost and 154 inches were lost. What amazing results. I am so proud of everyone!

Here's the top 3 winners:

D. Laidlaw - 12.2lbs lost and 15.5 total inches lost.

Miroki T: 32hrs 45m cardio completed

Jill F: 9.2lbs lost, 9inches lost, 7hrs cardio completed

The next one starts in January. Stay tuned for more info!

And here's what people said about the challenge:

Leah, thanks so much for a great challenge! I enjoyed it and am still using the
meal plan. Looking forward to another challenge in January. Looks like there
were some great numbers and some really hard work! L.A.

Thanks for the inspiration today! The motivation is greatly appreciated to keep
everything into perspective. L.A.

Thanks im really proud of myself. I did pretty good considering I could never stick to a diet. I dont even look at this meal plan as a diet anyway, because I'm eating all the foods I like and I'm not starving myself. M.Ch - 10.4lbs lost, 10.25 inches lost, 23 hrs cardio completed

I think one thing you should add to your profile is that your a great motivator! Thanks so much for the great words of encouragment... I.K

Congrats to everyone in Kitchener and Guelph for particpating. You did a great job on the fat loss challenge!

Babble.

Well it's been a while....I've been so busy with the studio I can barely keep my head above the water it feels like. It's funny how life changes and it's funny how those changes can affect you. I like discovering myself. Finding out why I do the things I do. I wonder if anyone else does that. Some of the answers I don't like though. I push those ones out of my head.

Anyway. Babble. Moving the studio to a new location. I can't wait to be out of the downtown core....it's so busy. Drives me bonkers. And I hate the dirty. The new place will be great. I hope I can pull it all together. The vison I have in my head is pretty grand. I hope it plays out that way.

Considering a strength and conditioning course at Sheridan. I'm pretty excited about it. I need to hire a trainer for saturdays though...working on that now. December's going to be a busy month.

Squat swing lunge



This exercise is brutal when done in a circuit with burpees and lateral BOSU squat hops. Stay low throughout the movement...your quads will be screaming at you in no time. Establish a rhythm and your balance on the first couple of reps....brace yourself with your abs and keep your core tight. Because of the explosive movement backwards combined with the swing, if you are not tight you will arch your back too much. Also the same reason this movement should not be done with any type of shoulder injury.
