Day 22

hippie group workout
When we work out in the group every day, we begin to identify with the group. We recognize peoples stride, their shoes, clothes, the way they exercise. We also begin to take ownership of the workout. It becomes our workout. We start getting with the rhythm of each exercise in the hour, each hour in the week, each week in the month and the changing of the seasons. As the days and weeks and years go by we see the changes that occur as a product of daily exercise. One interesting observation is we see folks "loosen up." We become more familiar with the group, with the exercises, the routine and with ourselves. We get a solid understanding of what we got under the hood. This knowledge gives us a little more freedom to be ourselves and to be comfortable in our own skin. Some of us will never break 5 minutes for a mile or do 30 pull ups. That's okay. There is always room to improve and progress. Daily exercise does that for us. Also, folks that work out outdoors tend to be a little hippie. Basically, we are running around the streets in our underwear, rolling around in the grass, hugging trees, sweating, spitting, and running with our shoes off. Pretty earthy.

555 = Church Run 3 miles/780 reps of leg exercises
PBC = Parking Deck 2.5 miles/720 reps of leg exercise

Gass on the Grass

The average daily calorie burn of the Super Friends of Peachtree Road Boot Camp is around 2,000. Two grand does NOT take into account the workout. The workout provides 600-800. The "smolder" that occurs after the workout is good for another 300-500. Ever notice that we sweat AFTER we get out of the shower? That is "the smolder." For those of us who work out every day, "THE SMOLDER" creates a pile of smoldering coals that burn long after the workout and never really burn out. Just about the time the coals are about to go from warm to cold, we get up, kick the tires and light the fires. By the time the workout is over, we have been running the engines wide open for long enough to get the coals white hot again.

The average daily calorie burn of a Super Friend that works out every day is over 3,000. What happens over months and years of daily exercise is our metabolism picks up and the natural burn rises to 3,500-4,000. We like to say: "if the furnace gets hot enough it will burn anything." While that is true, keeping the furnace hot for weeks and months can burn away a lot of sins from the past. What are we burning? FAT.

Running on the flat grass beats everything for pure cardio.

Church Run - 3 miles 800 reps

We are the elite. We are hard chargers. We posses the type of drive and motivation reserved for A personalities.

Type A:
The theory describes a Type A individual as ambitious, aggressive, business-like, controlling, highly competitive, impatient, preoccupied with his or her status, time-conscious, and tightly-wound. People with Type A personalities are often high-achieving "workaholics" who multi-task, push themselves with deadlines, and hate both delays and ambivalence.


We pack two hours of a typical workout into one. We get after it every day. We have hard days, medium days and easy days but NO OFF days. Everyone else does that.

We have to work out every day. In addition to having motors that don't quit, there seems to be a high level of intelligence in our group (instructors excluded.) Minds and bodies that operate at a high level can not remain idle. When we miss a workout, we miss the thousand calorie burn required daily to release the abundant energy we were blessed/cursed with. If we don't work out we are not going to be tired enough to fall asleep. Our brains will kick in and keep us occupied all night with thinking.

The best option for super powered hard chargers is to get up and do the workout.

Day 14

down and back on the grass

Good days and bad days. We all have them. No matter what, we are going to eat, sleep and visit the water closet. Those are the only things we know for sure. What we add to that becomes a choice. Most of us choose to ad exercise to our primary daily functions.

Do we allow depression & anxiety to disrupt our daily primary functions? Yes. Sometimes we don't eat or sleep for one reason or another. Do we skip workouts because we "just don't feel like it?" Yes we do. Is it something that becomes a habit? No. We know that if we workout every day, we are going to be hungry and need to replace the calories we burned. We also know that we will be tired and will sleep better.

The Best Workout in Atlanta

Mid week review:
Monday - Crazy 8s - 5 miles, 500 repetitions of various core exercise
Tuesday - Church Run - 4 miles, 720 repetitions of various leg exercises
Wednesday - Belt line - 4 miles, 720 repetitions of various core exercises
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         Lots of Fun - 13 miles - 1,940 reps

No one is doing this stuff. Show me another group that gets around like us. Who puts up these kind of numbers? No one. We have found a heck of a formula. It works. The front is competing for awards in races against folks who are running 40-60 miles a week. How can we do that? The exercises! 28 miles a week with 3,000 repetitions = 45 miles a week of running only. We get the benefit of maintaining a heart rate/calorie burn for an hour each day of someone running 7 miles. Yet, we are not beating ourselves up, pounding the pavement and wearing down. Quite the opposite, we are building lean bodies that are strong with nice lines.

We absolutely know that working out every day is good for you.

Do you eat every day? Do you sleep every day?

So your eating and sleeping every day. Your sucking down grocries and laying around. Stuffing your face and checking out. Oh thats great. Lets just have a few more brownies before I go to bed. While im being a complete slack bag, why dont I just turn off that alarm, roll over and go back to sleep.

Urban Assault Team

Burger King Robber Shot Dead - Irene and Lisa, read all the way down. Lay runs with her 9.

Its getting dark. Happens every year. As the dog days of Summer turn to Fall, the days get shorter and the nights get longer.

This morning we fixed our eyes toward the heavens to witness one of the joys of Triple Nickel... meteor showers.

Dont miss tomorrows workout. Show up 10 minutes early

We did catch at least one spectacular shooting star this morning.

Just before that we heard the gun shots. It took us about two and a half minutes to get to the crime scene. Johnny Laws were everywhere. Man the blue lights were flashing. There must have been a dozen John Q. Laws on the scene in less than 4 minutes. According to Lizzard, the perpetrator was alive and apprehended at 5:58am. When she drove by, Johnny was standing over him execution style. We can only speculate that the bandit had another concealed weapon he decided to show the officer. 7 shots. That's what we heard.

So we started our workout right there at the crime scene. How many boot camps do 40 push ups across the street from an Urban Assault scene? We ran up and down Peachtree Street doing exercises and watching the show. Cop cars and Fire Trucks were screaming up and down the whole workout. The Fire Men even waved to us.

We did 810 repetitions of various core body exercises and ran 4 miles. 810 on 8-10. Fun with numbers.

Lia Alice Sinitiere

Michael S and his bride welcomed Lia Alice into the world July 30th. She is 8pounds 2 oz and 20".

To say Michael was out of shape when he joined us is a severe understatement. Harriott, Kaffee and Holly were waxing the floor with his ass on their easy days. God bless them. They would hang back just to make sure he wouldn't get lost or die.

Michael stuck around. One day we told him to "Grab your gumption." (insert real word)...He did. Now his daughter will never see him as a completely broken down slack assed pansy.

Michael hammers at the front daily and is a fine, refined otherwise defined "Stud". We are happy for Lia and her parents.

Week one

Juice plus sports - We were just notified of an upcoming event about "Living Life to the PLUS" with Dave O'Brien. Have you ever heard of him? He will be speaking at the Gwinnet Place Marriott Hotel on Monday August 15th at 7 pm. We have a few complementary tickets for anyone who might like to attend. All tickets must be accounted for since this will be a large event.

He has run over 400 races and appeared on two TV survival shows and he ran four dessert races (155miles each- Chile, Gobi, Sahara, Africa. His mission is to show the world what the body can do with good nutrition. The neat thing about him is he was never an athlete and just started running a few years ago. He is currently 58 and passing up all the younger, more fit kids who had much more training and experience running.

WEEK ONE

Monday - Old School Basic Training on Campus
Tuesday - Fitness Test plus diagonals
Wednesday - Beltline
Thursday - Jason's combinations
Friday - Garden Hills
Sat - Open Workout

American Medical Association: 60 minutes of exercise EVERY day


Written by Ilana Katz MS, RD, CSSD on March 30, 2010

American Medical Association: 60 minutes of exercise EVERY day or you will gain weight. Yikes! That bulletin was all over the news recently. If you are not excited about 60 minutes of exercise EVERY day – read this article thoroughly.


My first reaction was “that isn’t news, that study was published years ago”. I was surprised to see this bulletin “AMA: 60 minutes of exercise EVERY day “ on every news channel recently so I did a bit of investigation on your behalf.

The recommendation for 30 minutes of exercise a day we have become accustomed to is the amount needed to prevent disease and obtain other health benefits. The recommendation of 60 minutes of exercise a day I recalled is from a 2002 report by the Institute of Medicine which suggests 60 minutes of exercise a day are needed to prevent weight gain. In fact the recent study that made the news resulted from researchers questioning the 2002 report.

So what is the real scoop?

First, note that these recommendations are aimed at women who want to avoid weight gain but are not willing to change their diet.

Avoid weight gain by understanding the science behind energy balance.

The number of calories you eat and the number of calories you use each day controls your weight. Calories are a measure of energy. A calorie is loosely defined as a measurement of the energy needed to increase the temperature of a gram of water by 1 °C.

In your body stored calories are stored energy. Energy stored above and beyond what you need to get through the day we call fat.

1.If the calories you ingest EQUALS the calories you burn, your weight will stay the same. NO stored energy.

2.If the calories you ingest ARE GREATER THAN the calories you burn there is an increase in stored energy and you will gain weight. (Positive energy balance).

3.If the calories you ingest ARE LESS THAN the calories you burn there will be a decrease in stored energy and you will lose weight. (Negative energy balance)

So, to lose weight you need to take in fewer calories than you use.

You can lose weight by:
•becoming more physically active or
•by eating fewer calories.

Your choice.

Exercise or Diet?

To lose one pound of fat, you need to “burn” 3500 calories. (Roughly because it would take 3500 calories of heat energy to dissipate a pound of fat.) Do you know how many calories you burn running a mile? About 100.

What is 3500 / 100?

Thus, based on the energy equation, if you reduce your calories by 500 calories per day (3500 calories in a week) you can lose one pound of fat in that week. Or if you run 5 miles a day, you can burn the equivalent of 3500 calories in a week.

Conversely, if you eat an extra 3500 calories, you will gain one pound of fat. The equation is not that simple but it works as a base of measurement for you to reach your goal of losing weight.

Weight Loss success makes weight loss harder to maintain.

Weight loss studies have shown that when we diet, the weight we lose is on average 75 percent fat and 25 percent muscle. This is bad news, because the less muscle we have on our body the fewer calories we need to maintain our weight. So just when we have adjusted to a certain calorie intake we need LESS CALORIES just to maintain our weight!

The good news is, you can reduce this muscle loss by adding resistance or strength training to your regular exercise routine. Hence the recommendation by the AMA to do at least 60 minutes of exercise a day.

Most people have a hard time digesting this amount of exercise per day, and if this is just to maintain weight, imagine what it takes to then lose weight. Who has time for all the extra working out?

How much exercise do I need?

Now there are some flaws to this overly general recommendation from the AMA today.

The intensity level in the AMA study was defined as moderate, but what if the intensity were high, very high in fact, like in the interval training work outs I provided to you recently. Would the duration still need to be 60 minutes a day?

Other than initial weight and intensity, other complexities that would need to be accounted for in determining “how much” exercise is enough include age, lifestyle (many people start an overall healthy program and thus incorporate a healthy eating plan simultaneously), history (for example an eating disorder history could play havoc on an individual’s metabolism, and it may take a lot more exercise to burn calories than average), etc.

Men have it easier when it comes to losing weight

An important point to note is that men do not have to do as much exercise as women to get the same weight management results. This too has a science factor behind it. Men have larger muscle groups and carry more weight on average for stature, than women. Therefore a women’s initial body weight would also add a factor into how many calories she burns per hour. Larger and leaner bodies burn more calories than smaller and or less muscular bodies.

So… What Do I DO?

There is so much variation on individuals and their metabolic rates, that stating 60 minutes of exercise is the magic number, seems somewhat out there. However, the take home message is solidified in science and that is that one does need a calorie deficit to lose weight. Whether the caloric deficit comes from:

1.Finding out your individual calorie requirements based on body composition goals as described in the Metabolic Boost program to raise your metabolism

2.Move intensely for a shorter duration by seeing how to burn fat

3.Move less intensely for a longer duration

As long as you take action, you can lose weight. Read what these people did to lose weight. Remember, nothing changes if nothing changes.

Mile


4 laps. Its a magic distance. For track and field enthusiast, the 100M and the Mile are the marquee events. Top billing and appearance fee's go the fastest. While the 100 is pure adrenaline, power and speed, the mile is a hunt. Its simple: you either hunt, or you be hunted. While the 100 is pure animal instinct, the mile is a thinking man's race. Do I go out hard and hang on? or, do I lay back and wait for the perfect time to strike? As is sometimes the case, the hunt is a pack effort to overtake a record with more than one alpha trying to steal the prize.
