What is your goal?

Another month under our belts and we have survived another British winter and maintained a high standard of fitness at Re-Create! 

Summer is bobbing its lovely head over the hill which means holidays, BBQ's, beach wear, parties and showing off all your hard work! 

We have had some awesome results over the winter months, with members running some fantastic races and breaking PB's, other members have enjoyed incredible weight loss results! 

What's next? Remember, we should always have a goal to strive towards, whether its the next big race, or the next half stone marker!

Emotions During Physical Exertion

 
Emotions During Physical Exertion
 
I ran what I thought was a tough 10km today... Although the run itself didn’t affect me, it was the toughest run I had undertaken in a while... Mentally!
 
As I ran, I wondered what our boot campers feel during RCBC sessions or indeed during there own training sessions and runs...
 
You see, today, I set off in my head thinking I will run an easy 5km followed by a slightly faster 10km but not race pace. The first 3km were OK, I felt good in my body, legs felt strong as I am doing some awesome leg sessions in preparation for upcoming races!

Be a part of something

I was recently chatting with a Re-Create Boot Camper about how she is finding it, being a part of Re-Create Boot Camp.  Her answer was this: “I feel like I am a part of something”

That statement played on my mind for a while which urged me to write this article.  You see, when I set out to build Re-Create Boot Camp, I looked back on past boot camps I had ran... I looked at other boot camps in the area and how they go about doing the stuff they do.

Having gained as much information as I could, not to mention the amount of gyms I have worked in as a Personal Trainer and Gym Manager.

Getting started with a new Fitness regime

Getting started with a new Fitness regime

Deciding to start a new fitness regime can be one of the best decisions you ever make for your health and overall daily lifestyle.  Committing yourself to lose weight, shape up, reduce your risk of health problems, build self confidence and your self-esteem.

Research suggests that it takes at approximately three weeks to form a good habit. Therefore, before getting started, you must realise that the magic isn’t going to happen overnight and, to get the results you want, you have to pledge your time and make a commitment to YOURSELF!

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!

The Magic Pillow Case

The Magic Pillow Case

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we had a magic pillow case that gave us everything we wanted!
I have just finished running one of our Residential Boot Camps over in the stunning Derbyshire Peaks with 6 boot campers committed to changing their lives!

I wanted to blog about “The Magic Pillow Case” because there is a very powerful message within this blog!  You see, when the human mind and body is pushed mentally and physically over 7 days you really see the real person inside. Our boot campers have endured 7 days of physical pain, an aching body, tired mind, and living & eating with people they only met at the start of the week.

Consistency is Key

Consistency is Key
Hey all...
Today’s blog is all about training consistency.  You see, people go through phases of everything in life, for example you may go for like a month being addicted to a certain meal.  I go through fits and starts with certain cereals, like I go mad on muesli for weeks and weeks and then change to a grapefruit and yoghurt every morning. 

That’s life, although most of us live in routine, we like changing up now and again to keep us going... The same goes for our health and fitness!

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!

We put the BOOT CAMP back into BOOT CAMP

We put the BOOT CAMP back into BOOT CAMP!

Just lately I have noticed quite a few gyms running their own outdoor sessions and slapping a “BOOT CAMP” label on it! To be honest, this really gets my goat because it gives people different ideas of what boot camp is!

Re-Create Boot Camp really does put the “boot” back into Boot Camp... Our sessions are run outdoors in any weather and are instructed by highly trained and professional Ex Military Physical Training Instructors (PTI). 

Boot Camp with Re-Create offers so much more than an outdoor fitness class.
