Another "no more excuses post"

This lady is partially sighted and comes to the gym with her guide dog Darcy

She has written a poem so I thougth that I would share:

THE GYM

WEEK ONE

One fine morning on a whim

I decided to join the local gym

They told me, after using this machine and that;

I would soon lose all my fat.

So week one was a doddle...

10 minutes on each machine,

I'd soon have the figure of a super model.

WEEK TWO

Week two was not so bad,

All my friends thought that I'd gone mad.

But when I get gid of all this flab

I will look absolutly fab.

WEEK THREE

So its now week three and she put me on a machine that climbs a hill

Then its two long miles on the cursed treadmill

I'm sweating blood and tears
and I shoot her a look that is a threat to kill

Guide Dog Darcy looks on unimpressed

I can see she is bored, I must confess.

We come her five mornings a week

No wonder she lies ther looking bleak!

I think to myself "God love a tryer"

So it will be worth it when I lose this spare trye!

WEEK FOUR

Hooray! I've just been weighed and have lost a stone.

I'll soon be a bag of bones.

All that slog and sweat, no more winges and moans.

A few months of this and it will be bliss,

I'm dedicated that a morning I will not miss!

So if you want to get fit and trim,

Do what I did and join your local gym.

Mike Munds Beach Body Boot Camp Wadebridge 2009

BOOT CAMP IS NOT....

A glorified aerobics class done outside.The traditional definition of a bootcamp is MILITARY TRAINING.

Bootcamp is thought of as a tough and rugged affair, meant to separate the strong from the weak and to be challenging both mentally and physically. It is a rite of passage for military recruits to prepare them for battle.
Now I'm not saying that in my bootcamp that I am going to run you into the ground and come at you with a whistle and megaphone, (Liv might tho!!) but I think that I still need to do the name justice and challenge you.

So this year I've set a limit to the number of people attending. There will be 20 people only -this will make sure that we can supervise you and make sure that what you are doing is both effective and safe? Remember, you have hired us for our expertise and to get results. It's hard to give you the best possible service when we've got a 1 to 30 instructor to bootcamper ratio.





We wont always have everybody doing the same thing all at once - I think a group dynamic warm-up is essential, but after that, we will split you into your own ability group and work on your strengths and weaknessess.

We wont be using pink fluorescent dumbbells - It's a bootcamp, not a muscle pump class. Need I say more? But we will be using kettlebells - I can't emphasize this enough, but I have yet to find a more versatile piece of equipment out there. They can be used the way traditional weights have been used. You can throw them (just make sure you have a clear area), you can swing them, squat, deadlift, press, row. The options are endless.

And we WILL be using some "unconventional" equipment - I'm big on creating a supportive team environment when I teach my bootcamps. you may have seen us flipping tyres and doing team games

Here are some videos


See you in this years BOOTCAMP

Mike Munds Beach Body Boot Camp 2010

Here we go again folks. Its time to attack the fat, burn the blubber and melt the mid rift.

Lets shape the shoulders, tone the triceps and sharpen up the six pack

The BEACH BODY BOOTCAMP starts at 7am Monday 21st June sharp.

Its six weeks of proper fitness training following a variety of exercises designed by me and Liv to shape YOU up for the summer.

BOOTCAMP works because:

You work out first thing in the morning and lots of studies have shown that this is the best time of day to workout if you want to lose weight.

I give you a six week diet plan to follow.you don't have to think about what to eat just follow the plan that's it.

Not only do the trainers encourage you. You will find that you will get heaps of support from your fellow bootcampers

Variety.Every day is different it keeps your body on its toes and guessing as to what is coming next.

You will be weighed, measured and your body fat taken every week to make sure you are on track.

I tried the program on myself for just FOUR weeks and this is what happened:

Sorry about that yuk anyway ....

You can see more results here: http://www.mikemundsfitness.co.uk/ including the video of Mark Prideaux who lost an amazing 2 stone in six weeks despite being injured!

If you decide that you would like to take part in this years bootcamp remember that this is a big commitment. I will only take on 20 people who want to shape up this year. Excuse makers and bone idle time wasters need not apply.

Bootcamp starts 7am Monday 21st June 2010. At this time I have 6 spots left. You may book YOUR place by emailing me at mikemunds1@yahoo.co.uk

BOOTCAMP: Failiure is NOT an option

Diets and Exercise can help YOU lose weight

Well quite a lot of you agreed with my previous post infact I've never had so many responses to one post so thank you all. Its a good job we are keeping ourselves fit and healthy and make a stand against the sedentry lifestyle eh?

Three weeks ago I gave out my 7 week Weight loss program and promised a MM Hoodie to the person who lost the most weight before Christmas. Fiona got her hands on the program and lost 9lbs in two weeks :-)

Close up yup that 16st 13lbs

As if by magic......

Well a lot of hard work actually but lets take a close up of that.

Just think if you need to lose a few pounds and tone up in time for Christmas (maybe to look extra sexy in that party dress) and you'd started my fitness program 2 weeks ago you could be 9lbs lighter.

Wait there is still time pick up a copy at reception tomorrow

See you in the gym
