We will be having two (2) separate discussions for your convenience, so plan to attend.

MABC Indoor Facility Update
The Milwaukee Adventure Boot Camp Facility will hold camps starting Monday, November 9th! Even though we are still "patiently" working with our contractors to complete what promises to be a fantastic, one of kind, all-inclusive boot camp and small group training facility...we will be holding our 5:30 am and 6 pm camps onsite. Construction is still being completed during the day so the 8:45 am camp will be held at the Cahill Recreation Building in Whitefish Bay. Please take a look at our most recent "under construction" photos and plan to be part of history as we slowly usher in our exclusive East side fitness boot camp - "non gym" location!

Did you know the average American gains anywhere from 10 to 15 pounds throughout the holiday months? 

It all begins with the colorful bags of candy we purchase for our little Halloween visitors; over the years we have heard confessions from remorseful campers, "I got into the candy . . . Now I have to buy more to give away on Halloween."

So how do we create that healthy balance for our families and ourselves? How do we get enough exercise while enjoying holiday events? The most important thing is to be realistic and to plan ahead! Where will you be over the next few months? Who will you spend holiday time with? What is their family like?

When we realize our lives are a series of choices, making good ones become easier. Ask yourself, "What do I want to accomplish over the next few months? What are my priorities?" Establish health and fitness goals ahead of time. Make time for your workouts and make time for fun activities. Create a list; make a workout appointment with yourself. Be accountable to yourself and to  friends. 
 
We have multiple boot camp opportunities for you and your families to have fun, exercise and stay healthy. Check out our camp schedules and plan to let us help you make it successfully through the holidays.

Thanks and see you at camp!

Thanks to Kristi Strode for sharing this video! This makes our boot camp jump rope warmup and cardio bursts look like "child's play." Anyway, up for jumping rope?
Oakcrest Tavern Wraps Up a Healthy Menu Item
Ordering from a restaurant can be daunting....we know! To make things a little easier, we have partnered with the Oakcrest Tavern in Shorewood to add a new menu item -- The Milwaukee Adventure Boot Camp Approved Wrap.  It has been an instant and tasty hit!

The whole wheat wrap is stuffed with grilled chicken breast, avocado, mandarin orange slices, carrots, pine nuts, fresh ginger, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach tossed in light balsamic vinaigrette. It is served with a "Coaches Salad" that is a crunchy mixture of baby greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, pine nuts and feta cheese with light balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The macronutrient portions (proteins, carbs and fats) are the appropriate serving size for lunch or dinner. So feel free to eat the whole thing!
 
To give this "perfect meal" the fanfare it deserves, we are officially rolling out the wrap the week of November 9 through 14.
The following MABC coaches will be at Oakcrest Tavern as part of the rollout. Come sit at their table!
Friday, November 13th
11:30 AM to 12:30 PM - Join Coach Amy
Saturday, November 14th
12:30 to 2:00 PM - Join Coaches Sandi and Catherine

If you can't join us, make sure to stop in and try it out, and of course, let us know what you think!

A Simple Prescription for Good Health
Want the bottom-line prescription for good health?  Cut down on all food products made with any kind of flour and sugar.

According to best-selling author Andrew Weil, M.D. and founder/director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, sugar and processed carbohydrates are the primary culprits in the obesity epidemic. This is just one of the premises explored in his new book, Why Our Health Matters.

Weil emphasizes the importance of focusing on what you eat as much as how much you eat.  Health comes from eating the right amount of good foods and including exercise in your routine. MORE
