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!

Dance before dinner, never been thinner

Come out and dance on Thursday before all the fun Thanksgiving festivities. This 10:00 am Zumba class is the perfect way to start a holiday that you know is going to be surrounded by food. Not only will you be burning calories, but with this fun way to workout, you'll be feeling good all day - which is a great defense when it comes to over-eating.

We look forward to sharing this Thanksgiving Day holiday with you!

These sneakers will tone my bottom?

You may have seen those ads on television for the sneakers that are supposed to do wonders for your bottom. The claims in the ads would have you believe that just walking in those silly-looking shoes will be the key to a better butt "one step at a time." However, is that really true or is it a gimmick designed to make money?

Reebok was forced to pay a settlement of $25 million to customers over the health claims it made about the unique Easy Tone style sneakers. Read the rest of this entry

If Memorial Day is the official summer kick-off, then Labor Day is the official "last weekend" of summer.

What to do, what to do? Should you hit the beach one last time before the inevitable temperature drop? Should you have a party to celebrate and take advantage of the long weekend? Only you can decide what you'd like to do over the Labor Day holiday. However, no matter what you do, make it fun, interactive and, of course, fitness-focused. Here are some great tips on activities that you can do during that last-chance summer weekend that are fitness-friendly and fun.

1. Indoor Rock Climbing

You may think of Sylvester Stallone in "Cliffhanger" but I promise that indoor rock climbing is not that dramatic or dangerous. If you've never done it before, Labor Day weekend would be the perfect opportunity to try it. There are a few rock climbing gyms in San Diego and you don't need to be a member of one in order to participate.

What are some of the benefits of rock climbing? Like the outdoor boot camps offered by Bootique Fitness, rock climbing provides a total body workout. Arms, legs, chest, core; all of those areas will be engaged while you're trying to make it to the top of each trail. If you're a beginner, don't worry about the complexity of the rock walls because there are beginner climbing trails at most every rock climbing gym. This is definitely one way to get in a great workout without sacrificing the entire Labor Day weekend at the gym.

I love being in San Diego, where despite the fact that Labor Day

is passing this weekend - it's still summertime and we will have gorgeous weather for weeks to come.

Boot Camp classes are cancelled this Saturday, Sept 3rd and Monday, Sept 5th. It's time for us to let the rest of the San Diegan's get out and play in the parks.

That's not going to stop us from working out though!

We're hosting a stair workout at the convention center on Monday, September 5th at 9:00 am. Stair workouts are 30 minutes of high intensity cardio intervals. We meet on the bay side of the convention center. There's a parking lot behind Joe's crab shack. When you face the convention center from the bay side, we'll be on the staircase to the right. It's half covered and has a balcony above it with a palm tree.

This workout - just like any other - can be modified to be lighter intensity, so there is room for all fitness levels to come out on Labor Day Monday and get an incredible workout.

By popular demand, we have created Bootique Fitness Stainless Steel Water Bottles.

Crafted out of durable stainless steel, these bottles are just as lightweight and convenient as other bottles, but are durable enough to last years to come With a slightly curved body, and 3 ring-accents, you can grip these bottles with ease.

For those on the go, these bottles come with stylish matching carabiners to clip anywhere you need them! Bootique Fitness water bottles are BPA FREE. Just by re-using these sports bottles, you will be protecting the eco-system, and yourself. 

So, stop wasting money on those disposable bottles of water and get a red, hot and fabulous water bottle by your favorite San Diego Fitness Company. 

Bootique Fitness water bottles are on sale for $8. (Regularly $10)
You can purchase water bottles online or in class. We will deliver your purchase in class.

I dare you to make an excuse now!
