Confession... I'm a smoker

Well.. I'm a smoker that doesn't smoke...! Let me explain. 

Runners share many similarities to that of a smoker, except our habit is running! It's an addiction... It's our drug and we have to have it!

  • A smoker punishes their body and so does a runner when they push themselves
  • A smoker gets irritated when they don't smoke and so does a runner when they can't run
  • A smoker wakes up thinking about needing their first cigarette and a runner wakes up thinking about what time to run, where to run etc

A Winning Formula For Weight Issues

I keep getting asked the same question by many clients and members so I'm here to set the record straight on how to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight and how it works!

Let's say you need X amount of calories to live...And for demonstration purposes of this blog... X = 1400 Calories. 

These calories are what your body needs to survive. Ie. breath, wake up, work, get your kids ready for school and of course for your systems within the body to function.  To make this better understood I want to change the word calories into "ENERGY"

The Perfect Run

Have you ever had the "Perfect Run"?

You know the one I'm talking about right?! The one where everything is... Well, Perfect! 

You see, majority of runs I find have something not quite right.. "you feel weak today" or "you not had enough water" or you get an annoying stone in your trainer.. 

Well, yesterday wan't a running day for me it was a strength & conditioning day but I had sort of 45 minutes spare so decided to head out for a quick run! 

A Military Fitness Boot Camp

I was recently checking out some other Fitness Boot Camps across the UK and was suprised at the differences from Re-Create to the rest!  Now, I totally believe that what Re-Create offer is the best method by far on the market and the results we constantly get, proves this time and time again!  Just last week one of our new boot campers lost a whopping 7lbs in her first week at RCBC!
 
What I found interesting was, those boot camps that are instructed by Personal Trainers without a military background were generally running standard circuit classes.

Why is water so important?

Water is an important part of our body’s makeup. Without regular hydration we can become depleted of the water levels our bodies crave. As our bootcamp sessions aim to get you sweating, it is essential that our members are clued up on the importance of hydration and its benefits.
 
Why do we need water?
 
Water is responsible for over half of our body weight . As a result it constantly requires topping up to ensure all bodily processes run the way they’re supposed to. The amount of fluid lost from the body depends on both the activity levels of the individual and environmental temperature and humidity.

Dealing with Injuries


Every instructor at Re-Create Boot Camp are highly trained, professional and experienced in the health and fitness field.  This may come as a surprise to some boot campers, but when they conduct each boot camp session, they are not JUST shouting at you all to do more... They are focussed on form and exercise safety to ensure each rep is performed correctly. 

Now, as much as we do everything to ensure no injuries occur, sometimes they do. It may be that one sets off to quick and “pulls” their thigh or strains their neck muscles doing sit ups or twinges an ankle on the rough ground.

The Re-Create Residential Boot Camp

The Re-Create Residential Boot Camp Blog

Today is the last day of our Residential Boot Camp and what an awesome, exhilarating and challenging week our boot campers have had! 

We have put them through a huge variety of physical activities ranging from high intensity exercise to low key, long distance endurance training!  Our boot campers have experienced emotions they probably never thought possible, ached in places they never thought possible and achieved things they never thought possible!

Talkers Vs Action Takers

Talkers Vs Action Takers

One of my colleagues recently blogged about the people in this world who like to talk the talk but never walks the walk and I thought... What an awesome topic to blog about too... so, let’s separate the talkers from the action takers.

How many facebook status’ have you read by people who say “Diet starts tomorrow” Or, heard people say, I will join the gym next week, then next week comes and the gym doesn’t!

A lot of people moan about their weight or the way they look and then do nothing about it!

More Benefits of Boot Camp

MORE BENEFITS AT BOOT CAMP

As we always say, boot camp improves your health & fitness in so many different ways, although weight loss is usually at the top of a lot of people’s agenda for attending boot camp.

I have decided to share some of the other fantastic benefits of boot camp that can be gained with us!


Boot Campers are pushed to their limits and then beyond, it isn’t easy, it isn’t supposed to be easy but getting through every session gives a sense of achievement and an ambition to do more.

Health Vs Illness


I've often wondered why I spend hours per week training, keeping fit and eating healthy... Yes I do it because I enjoy it and it makes me feel good and I can wear nice clothes and feel great but in exchange for this I have suffered many exercise induced injuries over the years and I've often wondered if couch potatoes endure the same consequences of their pastime!

Although I know the benefits of leading a healthy lifestyle inside out, and often take for granted how much our body does for us and how well it rewards us if we take good care of it, it always stands out more when our daily circumstances change and we are at the mercy of uncontrollable things.
