Women and Food Cravings: How To Deal With Them Effectively

One question I get asked on many occasions from my boot camp members from Brampton and Mississauga is "How do I control cravings?" Recently when I was in Louisville, Kentucky, I met up with Dr. Kara Mohr, PhD. Dr. Mohr is an internationally known educator in the area of weight loss, behavior change, and exercise and is co-owner of Mohr Results, Inc. I asked her to share with me her recommndations for how women can deal with cravings. Check out my interview below and hear what Dr. Mohr had to say about cravings.

Do you struggle with cravings or did you at one point? Feel free to make a comment after viewing the video and share your story. I would love to hear from you. I also know your story will greatly benefit other women.

Many thanks,

David

Agility Work - Interval Style

Doing agility work interval style is a great way to elevate your heart rate and rev up your metabolism big time. Here some members at our Mississauga East Location perform a dot drill working for 20 seconds each, in a partner I Go/You Go fashion.

This style of training is certainly a lot more fun and a lot more effective than spending time on a boring elliptical machine or treadmill. There's no TV or magazine racks at our Mississauga boot camp classes, just lots of women having great fun and achieving super results.

Enough Energy to Light Up the City of Mississauga

The energy at this past Saturday morning's boot camp session in Mississauga was very electrifying to say the least. I was very pumped and ready to break into some burpees myself. But my role at camp is to coach the women, not workout.

Our workout for Saturday's boot camp class in Mississauga consisted of a 30 second I Go/You Go partner workout format. One partner worked for 30 seconds while the other partner rested and cheered. The circuit included the following exercises:

1. Burpees
2. Alternating Forward Lunges
3. Pushups
4. Mountain Climbers
5. Squat Jumps

The circuit was completed two times with a minute of rest in between each circuit. All the exercises are tweaked as necessary to accomodate each person's strengths and abilities.

After the above circuit, the ladies did a timed circuit of planks and side bridges, some of the best core exercises you can do because it works your core the way your core is supposed to work: to stabilize the spine. The women did 20 seconds of work with 10 seconds of rest for a total of four minutes.

Are these workouts easy? Well, it's as challenging as you want to make it. But the ladies know that if they want to get fit, fabulous and sexy, they need to challenge themselves to the point where they are out of their comfort zone each and every workout, coupled with sound nutrition, and rest and recovery. It's certainly not easy, but nothing worth doing is ever easy. If it was, everyone would be doing it. Have you looked around at people lately? There's a lot of people not doing it, including a lot of people who go the gym on a regular basis.

Here's a clip of the ladies from Active Wellness Boot Camps getting out of their comfort zone as a way to torch some fat, so they can look and feel fit, fabulous and sexy.

Exercise Secrets for Post-Menopausal Women Revealed

Recently I was in Louisville, Kentucky, attending a fitness summit where the best of the best gathered for several days. I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with my good friend Holly Rigsby of www.fityummymummy.com/

Before I left to go on my trip, I solicited questions from my boot campers in Brampton and Mississauga with the intent of asking the questions I received during interviews I would conduct while I was in Loiusville.

One question I received had to do with exercise protocols for post-menopausal women.

In the video Holly makes reference to her mom and the challenges she faced and how she overcame them with her own health. Here's a picture of Holly's mom. Looking pretty great if you ask me.

New Web Site Ready

Our new web site is now ready. There's still some minor changes we're working on but for the most part it's complete enough to use.

You can find it at http://www.ActiveWellnessBootCamps.com.

Registrations for March Boot Camps at the Mississauga locations can now be done on-line. All Mississauga boot camp sessions are one month in length, recurring each month. You may cancel at anytime.

This process will make it much easier and simpler for members in Mississauga to use. No longer do you have to fumble with cash or cheques from month to month.

Drop me an e-mail and let me know what you think. I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks
