12 years ago
A new study, reported today in Eurekalert, confirms what everyone already knew, that increasingly younger girls are worried about their weight and appearance. And we do mean young: while the statistics were already depressing, this study dealt with children aged 3-to-6. Indeed, according to a study by University of Central Florida psychology professor Stacey Tantleff-Dunn and doctoral student Sharon Hayes, nearly half of these pre-schoolers “worry about being fat

Food, Kin and Tension at Thanksgiving
This article is funny in that not so funny way – especially if you can identify with it. We all have our “issues” that stem from childhood. When we return to our rightful position in our family tree, those “issues” come back to hit us like a huge, humongous BRICK right in our face.

Tuesday’s Camp Workout

Boot camps last 4 weeks long – 3 days a week. That is one great thing about bootcamps in general, you don’t get bored or maxed out. The workout changes daily and then completely every 4 weeks. It’s one of the things that I like about these programs – you get to try new exercises regularly. Not all bootcamps work like this but Plumbline does. Michael puts a lot of work into creating the workouts we do and the proof is in the pudding so to speak!
Last week started the first week of a new month of camp. Each day of the week during the 4 weeks is a different circuit and at least this camp we are doing it all for total rep count.
So today’s camp was 3 rounds/total rep count:
Box Jumps (double/single/double) – rest/active station
Power clean push presses with 25lb kettlebells
Ring push/ups
Wall Ball squats (double squats if you can do it)
45lb Snatch
