Encouragement

I love my job. But I love my job because of the people I work with. The personal clients and the campers of Dawn's Training Camp are just amazing! To watch the transformations. To see the change in the attitude. To grow in their strength and their achievements. I honestly couldn't ask for a better job!

I remember when I first started trying to lose the weight that I had gained from when I quit smoking. It was so hard. The first plank I TRIED to hold for 30 seconds. I thought that it was the longest 30 seconds ever! It pays itself forward over and over again when I see the same goals being met by these ladies in my Camp and my clients.

The amazement of pushing themselves past their limit....taking one more step to gain the strength that they so each deserve. It's worth every second of me making the choice (well I believe God had a hand in this as well) of becoming a Personal Trainer.

I love helping people become stronger, emotionally and physically.

So, to end my blog for today: I want to THANK EACH OF YOU for being who YOU are and letting me help YOU become what YOU want to be! It is an honor!

Day 2

Day 2 was a HIT! These ladies are simply incredible! They powered through the pain from the workout on Tuesday and just kept going!  No pictures for today as my phone died while I was trying to get a few.  BUT, I found this perfect pic that I figured the Ladies would all enjoy!

They all got free samples of Body Core's chocolate protein for after their workout. I am anxious to hear the results :)

Day One of Training Camp

Training Camp on Day 1 was STRAIGHT UP AMAZING! These ladies pushed themselves - it seemed to me - past their limit and yet still kept going! At one point, two ladies were literally crawling across the floor - BUT - they didn't stop! They kept going! The energy was so positive, full of endorphins, that I don't know how I didn't just jump right in with them!

Here is a sneak peak into the evening:

 

These ladies learned that our bodies need 45-65% carbs of daily calories to continue with our energy needs/requirements.  If they didn't know before, they memorized it after a few burpees!!!

Thursday is going to be even more exciting as we have five more joining us! Do they know what they are in for?

Continuing Preparation

Four days until Training Camp starts. I talked to numerous people yesterday about this Camp starting and am getting very excited - even more than I already was!

My only concern right now is - as my husband so nicely put it - The name of the camp is BLAH. I need something better. I need some ideas. I am clueless with creativity on this kind of stuff. Give me the challenge of new exercises and I am all over that but something like this, I am lost. I get boring.

I think I might make it a challenge for my Campers :)

With a Prize at the end.

 

Training Camp

Before it begins..................

So this week I decided to host my very own Training Camp. I actually started doing boot camps a couple of years ago which is how Body Core Fitness started so I find it very ironic that almost four years later, I am doing them again! This time, I have a little more experience under my belt...which makes it way more fun!

I will be using this blog to post pics and blog about the progress of the Campers.

I am so very excited!
