San Diego Boot Camp

To my mother

And all the incredible mom's we have the privilege of knowing in our Bootique family

Super Mom

Mom, you're a wonderful mother, so gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care, always make me feel I belong.
You're patient when I'm foolish; you give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything; you're the master of every task.
You're a dependable source of comfort; you're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble; you support me whenever I call.
I love you more than you know; you have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers, you'd be the one I'd select!

Zumba = the end of boring workouts

Today, I when arrived at my Zumba class 30 minutes early, I found a new student already waiting for me that was excited to take a Zumba class based on what she saw on 'The Biggest Loser'. I'm always happy to welcome new students and this girl was especially energetic and excited to be there!

When she told me that her motivation to take a Zumba dance class was from this week's Biggest Loser show, I had to check it out for myself.

No excuses - make your workouts fun

This season of The Biggest Loser focuses on taking away excuses not to be fit. This week, they proved the excuse 'exercise is boring' is simply not true. Check out this clip of how much fun they are have when Dolvett takes them to a Zumba class!

Anyone can Zumba

The Biggest Loser contestants jumped right into a Zumba class. No experience is necessary, with Zumba it really is just about moving and having fun. The contestants show just how much fun working out can be!

If you've been thinking about taking a Zumba class, now is a great time to try it - you'll probably love it! And when you do, you'll never have to do another boring workout... just dance!

Use the POWER of RUNNING to make a Difference in the LIFE of a GIRL!

The Sparkle & Shine 5K Run benefits the Girls On The Run of San Diego. This event takes place on Sunday May 13th at the Embarcadero Marina Park.

What makes the Sparkle & Shine 5K Special?

You have an opportunity to run & celebrate the accomplishments of girls from our area as they take on the 5K run. The girls in the Girls on the Go running program will be automatically registered for the run and they need a running buddy LIKE YOU!

This is a non-competitive run and will not be timed. There will be an official race clock so you can see your finishing time but the results will not be posted online. The idea here is EVERYONE is a winner!

Beginner runners welcome

Don't feel like a strong runner yet? I'm sure there's a girl that will appreciate having you as a running buddy still. Sign up as a running buddy and share inspiration to run with a girl from the Girls on the go program.

Save $5 on your Sparkle & Shine 5K registration

Bootique Fitness will be doing a Zumba dance warm up for this event! Use our special code "ZUMBA5" to save $5 on your registration at the girls on the go website.

Take advantage of having a group of like minded women around you in boot camp. To win the Best Attendance prize, you will first choose 1 or 2 accountability partners to team up with.

Choose wisely! To win this prize, we will take the average attendance score of everyone on your team (3 max). This means, you want to hold your team accountable and let them/her hold you accountable too. Exchange phone numbers, send text, congratulate them when they show up and ‘harass’ them when they don’t. In other words, become a ‘stalker’ (hehe!).

The team with the best attendance will receive a month of Zumba for each team member.
($100 value each)

Have one team member email Jaylin who you've chosen to be on your team.

Wishing you a fantastic holiday full of cheer and laughs

Giving thanks is such a wonderful feeling. Sure, we all love to receive a sincere 'thank you' but from the giver's end - doesn't it make you feel good to let someone know you appreciate them? Doesn't it feel really great to focus on the things in life that make you happy and express your gratitude for those things?

One of my favorite things to do is go for walks and play the appreciation game. It's quite simple and can be played with any number of players, sometimes it's just me. Each player takes turns saying what he/she appreciates. All things go - it can be as monumental as being alive or as simple as how great my pumpkin coffee tasted that morning. Like I said - anything goes. Any person or anything that makes you smile when you think about them or it is a perfect answer.

Today, I appreciate the gorgeous sun, waking up without an alarm clock, spending time with my family, joining my ladies for a fun Zumba class, playing silly board games that crack me up, enjoying a delicious and healthy meal, looking forward to hearing great stories from my amazing clients, and being free to live the life I choose to live!

Thank you to everyone who is sharing this journey with me!

I invite you to share what you appreciate today.

Leave your comments below. I really look forward to hearing them!
