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.

I can understand how dk hair is the winner of A-list Best Hair Salon!  My experience at dk hair with David, Jessica, and Danielle was smooth, relaxing, and I came out feeling beautiful!

Daniel first welcomed me to the salon with an offer of water, tea, or wine.  He was so inviting and charismatic!  I could have chatted with him all day about Bootique Fitness for guys.

Being a partner of Bootique Fitness, I met David (pronounced Da-veed), dk hair’s co-owner / stylist when we did a fundraiser boot camp in Balboa Park back in May.  He is good-natured, kind, and has quite an artistic eye when it comes to understanding his clients vision.

I have always despised cutting my hair thanks to a visit to the salon in 6^th grade in which my mom insists to this day that I said I wanted short hair.  I came out with exactly that – however add my natural curls and voila I had an afro!  On a family vacation later that summer a cashier asked me “will that be all son?” This ended my enjoyable visits to the hair salon once, and what I thought was, for all.  Not so!  I explained to David I hadn’t cut my hair in 7 months, I was in the midst of growing out a Brazilian Blowout from 2 months before, and I had colored it 3 times in the last 2 months as well.

Needless to say my hair was in dire need of his handiwork.  I told him exactly what I wanted: to have healthy shiny hair but to cut off only what was absolutely necessary to remove my split ends.  He washed and dried my hair straight then used the dry cut method which is simply cutting my hair when dry instead of wet.  This was perfect for my case because he could see exactly how much to take off without having to factor in when wet hair dries and ‘shortens up’ slightly.

After the cut – he went into styling mode.  I was impressed with how quickly he was able to transform my hair that he’d just flat ironed (which was beautiful) into full banana curls.  All of the products used during my visit were Bumble and Bumble.  My hair smelled great and was shiny

and bouncy, and still plenty long!   The curls lasted an hour drive and through an entire evening at a wedding.

I also had the pleasure of having my makeup done by Jessica.  We discussed doing a smoky eye which she made up with grays and blacks in the TRUE Cosmetics line.  My skin looked great and it felt like I barely had any makeup on – success!

I must mention I was on a bit of a time crunch and even as we neared the moment I needed to bolt out the door to leave for the wedding, David and Jessica were both so accommodating, even working on my hair and makeup simultaneously to ensure I was looking great and out the door in time.

Overall, dk hair gave me healthy beautiful locks and a fabulous face for my evening out.  The level of professionalism paired with experience makes me eager to go back for yet another haircut!

Since dk hair is partners with Bootique Fitness, they will give you 20% off your first visit. Just tell them you're a friend of ours and they will take great care of you.
