If we are feeling a little guilty about the 6,000 calories and endless fat grams consumed today...

Edwin has been working out with boot camp for a little while. He is fighting Saturday night

Training like a Champ

Boot Camp is very social. It is a great place to meet folks every day, spend an hour talking, getting to know each other and catching up. It is also a place where we can get in ridiculously good shape. This simple daily routine is a discipline designed to temper our bodies over time. The typical time required is 90 to 100 days (P90X).

The ladies in boot camp have taken over. John G, Jimmy and John B are the only dudes who have made more than half the workouts so far.

These beauties are getting in amazing shape. It is adorable to see these fine females crank out big numbers and have tremendous change. These darlings are getting thinner, faster, stronger, more powerful and a little cocky. We have seen new faces near the front and the scout team requires much less of a lead.

Please keep the pedal to the medal. When folks are tripping over themselves to compliment you this holiday season, let them in on the secret.

See and be Seen

November is next week. The Holidays are nearly here. We will kiss and shake hands with more people in the next 65 days than all the previous 300 combined. Holiday parties, school events, family events, church events, sporting events and charity events are clustered in the final two months of the year.

The first thing we do when we leave one of these events is think/say "my wasn't so-in-so beautiful tonight." And you may think or hear, "gee wiz wasn't whats-his-name quite handsome this evening."

What will they say about us? I know what they will say about our robobabes.... "damn"

None of our workouts are absolute killers. We haven't had a multiple puke day in years. We have found that consistency is the key to increase fitness. Anyone can hang with us for a day. Sticking around for two weeks in a row without a day off is another story. Our program is designed to grind. We do just enough every day so that we can recover and come back the next day feeling refreshed and ready to go again.

We are very grateful to everyone who participated this session. For those of us who only make 2 or 3 workouts a week, thank you for adding energy to the pack while you are here. We miss you when your not.

Wellness Programs

Who does this? Who rises every morning before dawn to run around town in their underwear? What group routinely cranks out three and a half miles and 600 repetitions of various exercise in an hour before most of Atlanta wakes up? We do!

To us it is normal. The rest of Atlanta thinks we are nuts. As our good Preacher Charles like to point out all the time, the modern world looks way different than just a few years ago. We are all "connected" electronically. All the "information" we receive comes from a screen. What is happening is we are seated and spoon fed. In today's modern world, we could live completely on our own properties and never leave... EVER. So, we are more sedentary.

WE get "information" the old fashion way. We get out of bed, drive to the meeting place, look into each others eyes, hug, kiss, shake hands and work out. THAT is our connection.

Obesity and its related illness account for $73 billion in U.S. corporate health care costs, and the average annual employer health insurance premium has doubled to $15,073 in the decade spanning 2001 in 2011. As a result, employers’ return-on-investment for wellness programs – which, according to the infographic, can reach up to 600 percent, as demonstrated through reduced health care claims, increased worker productivity and improved morale – can be priceless.
