Hi Everyone..
I was just reading this: "To get something you've never had, you have to do something you've
never done"
You MUST step outside of your comfort zone to get results in EVERY
aspect of your life....
Very Timely!
Today is the first day to enroll in the Summer Boot Camp Blast! (http://results4sure.com/summer-boot-camp-blast.html )
and I was just thinking..why do people do the same stuff over and over expecting results to vary...
I won't even get in to my mental laziness theory..but however..
Tonight at Boot Camp I will be running the 2nd Test of My Iron Man 2 workout... I put this together last week and It requires No weights or special equipment..
But I use it as a measuring tool...
You see at my class we use kettlebells, dumbbells, bands, stability balls...all the cool things we need to keep the workout challenging and getting results...
But how to we track your progress?
It's workouts like the one we are doing tonight..
We have a set number of reps and stations...maybe you take all 45 minutes to finish the first time...maybe you don't finish..maybe you go through it quickly...
Either way, the next time we do it...you can beyond any doubt see how you are getting stronger, have more endurance, and more energy...
And that is REAL time proof that your body is getting better!

Iron Man 2 Workout and Happy Mothers Day
Happy Sunday...
Happy Morthers Day to All the Mom's...Mom's Rock!!!!
Funny I was reading this article about How Robert Downy Jr put on 20lbs of muscle for Iron Man2...
Guess what he did to get it done? (from movies.yahoo.com)
"Robert Downey Jr. packed on 20 pounds of muscle to reprise his role in
"Iron Man 2."
"When we did 'Iron Man 1,' we had five months before the shoot to get ready, so we used more traditional, heavy-weight training," his trainer, Brad Bose, tells UsMagazine.com. This time around, the actor, 45, had just wrapped "Sherlock Holmes," and was down to 151 pounds when shooting on the action flick (out May 7) began.
"After [the first routine], Robert felt kind of bored with it and wanted to something a little more exciting... so we decided to do what I call a Rocky IV meets high-tech training," says Bose, who bulked Downey Jr. up to 175 pounds over the first three to four weeks filming.
Examples: "Instead of doing regular bench presses, we used a bamboo bar... and we would hang plates on rubber bands off the bar... so it was like trying to bench press a snake!" Bose explains. "It bounced all over the place."
Downey Jr. also pushed "a custom-built wheelbarrow that we modified with 600 to 700 lb. weight stacks" around an obstacle course.
"We went out and bought truck tires, and we used sledgehammers -- anywhere from, two 4-lb. sledgehammers in each hand, all the way up to a full 20-lb. sledgehammer -- and we were just beating tires with it. We used fire hoses that we filled with sand and water... and we'd drag and whip them to build the shoulder muscles and pecs back up."
They also juggled "weighted Indian clubs," hulled around kettle bells and even used a war machine, which Boyes explains is "like a rope with handles on it with a pulley -- you suspend yourself from it," says Bose.
"We tried to find the most unique, and yet funnily enough, inexpensive training stuff to use," he says. "You couldn't find more practical stuff to use."
Sounds Like last weeks Boot camp to me...if you were there, you know we rocked it!
