Week Two Down, One Week Left for This Session!

The old me would have said one week to go! I really like Fridays class. I think that there is a sense of accomplishment of the fact that I am off work on Fridays and made it there anyway! Not to mention its the end of the week! The structure of the class on Friday is a little different and I really like it. It makes the time go by pretty quickly...I mean, isn't that whats its all about?? In my typical baby steps fashion, I had my first protein drink today! It wasn't bad, i.e. I didnt wince one time!

Today, I want to talk to you a little bit about girls using weights when they work out. Ormond Boot Campers use small dumbbells when we work out...don't worry...they are little guys. The good news is, if you gain some muscle you will decrease in size. Studies show that women dont normally gain size from using weights when they work out. We have less of those male hormones that make muscles grow. So, please dont think you are gonna turn into the Incredible Hulk if you add weights to your routine.

You will not look like this!

Are you aware that if you add muscle to your body, you will be able to eat more without gaining weight? That makes the pasta argument that much more exciting!This is because for each pound of muscle you gain, you increase your resting metabolism. Studies performed by Wayne Wescott, PHD found that the average woman who performs weightlifting 2 to 3 times a week for 2 months will gain nearly 2 pounds of muscle and will lose 3.5 pounds of fat. Thanks to Girly Fitness for these facts!

School starts for your little ones on Monday, but try to stay focused and stay on your routine. If you have been reading this blog and looking on the website and thinking this is something that might be for you (it is!!)...you can come next week and start or get your mind and your family into a routine NOW and then come join us for a fresh new session. Let the kids go back to school for next week and the week after when we are off and be ready to roll on September 8th when we start a new session. You can do this, because I can and I am!

Have a good weekend and drink lots of water!

What is Ormond Boot Camp??

A three-week outdoor program of fitness instruction, nutritional counseling and motivational training. You will be inspired and have fun while participating in a fantastic workout led by Certified Adventure Fitness Trainers. Each day, camp will be one hour in length starting at 5:30 AM or 5:30 PM in Port Orange and 5:45 AM, 9:30 AM or 5:30 PM in Ormond Beach. Our PM classes are COED.

What if I'm not very physically fit?

NOBODY will be left behind or asked to complete more than they are capable of doing safely. Nor will anybody go home unchallenged! Women of all ages and abilities are welcome to participate. Each day will slightly increase in intensity. You will inspire and be inspired by others.

Where is the location we will meet?

In Ormond, classes are held at Temple Beth El School at 5:45 AM and 5:30 PM and under the mainland side of the Granada Bridge at 9:30 AM.

In Port Orange, classes are held at the Port Orange City Center at 5:30 AM and Port Orange Elementary School at 5:30 PM.

What types of exercises are included in the program?

Exercises include: Core conditioning, short distance running (less than one mile), muscular strength, jumping rope, circuit training, sport yoga, fitness kick boxing, pilates, sport drills, obstacle courses, surprises, and more!

How often will we meet?

Participants will meet three, four or five days per week for one hour during the three-week program. *4 and 5 day options only available at the 5:45 AM class in Ormond.

What do I need to bring?

An exercise mat, one set of small hand weights (3, 5 or 8 lbs), water bottle, running shoes, and a sense of adventure.

What can I achieve from camp?

Your body will become more fit and toned, and you will gain more confidence making a dramatic improvement in your physical well-being. The camp program includes exercises designed to firm your butt and thighs, flatten your stomach, reduce body fat and increase stamina. By losing fat and gaining muscle, you'll lose inches and gain strength while looking and feeling better. Also, you'll meet great people who share in the same vision of striving to reach their goals for a healthier mind and body.

Why should I participate?

You will make a dramatic improvement in your physical well-being. In addition, you will meet great people who share your same passion for acquiring a more healthy body and mind. You will be finished with your training before the rest of the world has even gotten started!

We are now accepting pre-registration for the next camp.

How do you join Ormond Boot Camp?

How do I sign up now?

Go to the registration page and fill out the registration form. After filling out the registration form, please follow the payment instructions. We accept cash, check or you can pay via credit card securely and online. Once we've received your registration information, we'll contact you to schedule your pre-camp evaluation.

What is the Pre Camp Evaluation?

The Pre-Camp Evaluation includes the following:
1. We will give you an introduction to Boot Camp and answer any questions you may have. We will also review your medical history.

2. We will take a few simple measurements to see where you are prior to beginning camp. We don't care what the measurements show. It's strictly for a post-camp comparison. These numbers and all other information will be held in the strictest confidence.

3. We will measure your body fat percentage. Again, the numbers don't matter. We just want to be able to measure your improvement. Don't be surprised if you see a 2-4% reduction in your body fat over the three weeks!

4. You will receive your Welcome Packet and at the end of the session you'll receive your Boot Camp T-shirt.

What if I sign up for the three-day plan and then want to do more days of the camp?

After starting camp, many women realize how fun and convenient it is so they request to sign up for more days. In addition, they realize that the more days they attend camp the greater the results. In these situations, you will simply be pro-rated from the point you decide to join us for more days.

Will I be sore sometimes?

Most people feel some soreness for the first 2-3 days. After that point, it is slight to moderate. It's part of the process that lets you improve!

What kinds of people go to camp?

They are people just like you. Someone who needs a little push to jump start their fitness and wellness program. Some exercise experience is needed to ensure your safety and a better flow of class.

Is there a refund policy?

If you are unable to attend camp due to circumstances out of your control, we can offer you a refund if you notify us prior to your session start date. However we will charge a $50.00 cancellation fee. If we are notified after your session begins, we can only give you a credit towards another boot camp. This credit is nontransferable. Credit is not given toward private fitness training. There is no cash refund. This is not negotiable.

What is a typical day like at camp?

That's difficult to say since each day is intentionally different to alleviate boredom. You can expect some light running, weight training, obstacle courses, core training and jumping rope each week. On special days, we will take a field trip to a different location. It's always an adventure, and you'll always have fun! We teach you a great deal about proper form and "core stability."

How soon will I see results?

Performance improvement can take place in as little as three days. "Visual Improvement" can take from two to four weeks depending on your effort level. It's becoming common to see a camper go down 1-2 dresses sizes within the first camp. Remember, everyone is different!

What will I do after camp is over?

You can get re-measured and tested to show your progress and success in the program. Many (up to 95%) of the campers return for a second and even third camp.
