There is a popular myth that dictates a specific range for your heart rate in order to burn fat. Most cardio machines have a display that will give you a "fat-burning zone" so you can zap that fat. But what happens if you venture outside of that zone? Do you still burn fat ? When you exercise, you use both fat and carbohydrates depending on the type of exercise you are performing. … [Read more...]

I have been pushed way beyond anything I … [Read more...]

If your metabolism is on fat-burning mode, you will be. It's very important to eat something within the 1st hour of … [Read more...]
Starting the challenge, I had been exercising, basically doing the treadmill most days but had kind of reached a point where I was not seeing any changes so I felt adding weights to my program would help. Little did I realize that boot camp would include jumping jacks,push ups and assorted other tricks that Nicole could come up with... But week by week it got a little easier and I was … [Read more...]
I had a great experience with the Elite Boot Camp Program. I was hesitant at first, not sure how I would feel going to 5 classes per week. But after the first week I was feeling pretty good! I like that the program itself was limited to 6 members. We were able to encourage one another and have your attention too! I really enjoyed kickboxing...throwing punches was a great stress … [Read more...]
“I enrolled in the boot camp to get and stay in shape and also just for the experience. It was fantastic! My legs and arms are firmer, and I have extra room in my slacks. In addition, I am stronger and more energetic. My husband and I love to canoe, but I have always struggled to get my end of the canoe on top of the car. I can now lift my end up and over my head and position it top of the car … [Read more...]
