Milwaukee Boot Camp News
|
In The Press...
NPR Radio (WUWM) stopped by the 8:45
am boot camp on Friday 11/20 and recorded our workout as well as interviewed a
few campers. How cool is that? The feature is about how local Milwaukeans are
keeping their fitness programs fresh as the weather gets colder and people move
indoors. Check it out - we were scheduled to air on Wednesday morning 11/25 BUT
that changed and we are rescheduled to air THIS week. Keep your eyes AND ears
open for this super program and we will forward the information to you when we
get it! Also check out this recent Business Journal article.
2009 Camper Appreciation &
Holiday Party
Did you think we forgot? We have the
BEST campers/clients in the state and we want you to know it! We have
tentatively planned the Holiday Appreciation party for Friday, January 29th. Please
join us and feel free to bring a guest with you. The celebration will be held
at our decked out, new Indoor Boot Camp Facility. The night will be a relaxing and fun evening of
reuniting with fellow campers and celebrating a BETTER YOU in 2010! Any
camper who participated in a 2009 Milwaukee Adventure Boot Camp is invited; and
be sure to pick-up your "Thank You" Gift at the party...full of goodies from
local business partners. We will have lots of great food, fun and prizes.
Keep your eyes open for more information and for your official invitation!
Platinum Package Memberships WIIFM? Ever here that term before? It stands
for, "What's In It For Me?" Glad you asked! This program was specifically created for the women and
men who are loyal Milwaukee Adventure Boot Camp participants OR who want to
become one and who also know that they want boot camp to be their main fitness
regimen. What a GREAT holiday gift giving idea too! These are also the people
who want to enjoy living in a fit, lean, healthy and strong body year round.
The Platinum Package membership is for ladies and men who want the best of the
best and want to live longer, stronger, more energetic years looking and
feeling fantastic. These campers are also savvy shoppers who know an incredible
deal when they see it. You receive all 10, 2010 boot camps for the price of 8.
And if that is not enough of a reason to jump on the Platinum bandwagon; check
out these other super benefits reserved only for Platinum Members.
MABC Indoor Facility Update
Tori Amos once said..."In life,
sometimes everything falls into place and sometimes everything falls to pieces.
The key is to begin creating with these fallen pieces. By improvising, you'll
create something magical that might be the best thing you've ever
accomplished!" As many of you may have heard, we are WAY behind our
scheduled October 5th open date. Yeah, we are upset too. We have experienced a
few situations where things have "fallen to pieces"...like our
contractor being put in jail. BUT, as Tori suggested so eloquently, we have
improvised and have started creating something fantastic. We have laced up our
boot camp boots, found a super replacement contractor and are planning to hold
our indoor camps on Monday 12/7. Now, we are not completely finished yet,
but toilets and showers will be usable and the look of the facility is 98%
complete! We continue to be extremely excited about offering fun and effective
MABC workouts to our community and to continue supporting our campers health,
fitness and nutrition goals! Keep your eyes and ears open for our GRAND opening
in January 2010! Plan to come experience all the bells and whistles that the
indoor boot camp facility promises!
Order of Boot Camp Business
As with many things; change has
occurred, which is NOT always a bad thing. We have our business bank account at
TCF National and we have been pleased to offer our campers the convenience of
both credit card online registration payment or payment by cash or check. TCF
recently made a security change to their deposit requirements to help avoid
fraud and to keep our account safe. BUT this DOES affect us. Starting December
2009; PLEASE remember that if you are paying for camp by check; the check must
be made out to our corporation, A-List Fitness, Inc. In the past, we
have been allowed to write our business name in BUT the bank will no longer
accept checks written out to MABC or Milwaukee Adventure Boot Camp. Please
take a few moments and review our policy. Thanks for helping us stay compliant
and for your help in advance campers!

Happy Holidays !
As we head out of November and look
past the first of our wonderful holiday celebrations; remember to continue to
make your best fitness and nutrition choices. As coaches, our goal is to
encourage you to be real, NOT perfect. Perfection is no fun and not possible;
so why beat yourself up or feel guilty for not working out one day or eating
too much pie, cake, cookies... We can't live in the past and we can't live
in the future but we can make the most of the present. If we spend our
energy in what "should have been" or what "will be" we lose
the beauty of "what is." I encourage you to have that mindset
as we head into an even more difficult month for eating clean and making time
for workouts. Just make the the best choices possible for YOU that you
can. Make the decision to keep moving forward in your efforts to find a
healthy balance in your life; fitness-wise, career-wise, and nutrition-wise.
And remember, we are here to help!
Sincerely,
Coach Catherine and Your Boot Camp
Staff

Stay Fit This Holiday Season
The holidays shouldn't leave you looking like a bowlful of jelly. As
fun as the holiday season is, it can be rough on your fitness program.
Bad weather, stress, and lack of time can sap your motivation, while
parties, visitors, and vacations can distract you from your workouts.
It's no wonder so many people gain weight in November and December,
only to regret it on January 2nd.
But it doesn't have to be that way. You can keep up or even improve
your fitness level, stave off weight gain, and enjoy the holidays as
much as ever. Just stick with the following guidelines...

Milwaukee Boot Camp Booty Call!
No-longer used boots cluttering
up your closet, basement, garage? We
want them! During the month of January,
we'll be running "The Big Boot Recruit" - a charity drive to collect gently
used boots to help local families keep dry and warm this winter.
We ask you, our current and past campers, to
bring your no-longer-used boots to class.
If you can gather extra pairs from friends, neighbors and family, that
would be great. If you aren't currently
taking a camp, check the Web site for locations and times when you can drop
off. We welcome boots of all types -
work boots, hiking boots, women's, men's and kids' boots - boots of all shapes
and sizes. The drive will also be open
to the public, and all boots will be donated to the Salvation Army. We hope you'll join us!

Cool Camper Contributions
Thanks Beth Tsuchiyama! Beth is a runner and said it would be awesome for
the boot camp coaches to suggest "off boot camp" day running workout
ideas. We agree; so starting in January 2010, look for some great running
workouts to keep your running skills honed during boot camp months. This way,
your legs will be fresh for running AND tough boot camp training.
Gracias Michael Andersen! Looking for a super, local cover band? Check out Element
13 (www.e13rocks.com).
They play at many bars downtown as well as at Ovations restaurant at the Ipic
theater in Glendale. And yes, they play all genres so all ages will enjoy
their music!
Merci beaucoup Lynda Barth! Lynda recommends Shirataki noodles as a replacement for pasta. These noodles are made of tofu (found in the tofu section at Sendiks) and taste great with most sauces.
