The internet has become a tool for businesses to expand beyond any possible physical means and into the worldwide web. Although it was originally a device created by the United States Department of Defense as a means to decentralize information, it is now the most commonly used form of communication, business and entertainment around the world. An effective way to make your personal business stand out online is by using GoDaddy Hosting with help from GoDaddy.

Before moving on, you need to understand what web hosting sites is. To make it plain, when a smaller creature lives off the resources of a bigger creature, the bigger creature is known as a “host”. In the same way, your smaller website is hosted by a bigger parent site that provides you will all of the tools and information that you need to continue. It’s cheap and easy.

Domain names at this particular website are what’s known as your online business name. For example, if you want to name your blog or site “Pam’s Cooking Tips”, you’ll want to register that as a domain name and, by extension, a registered URL. Before we move on to that, however, there’s one important thing to know about domain names.

Domain names are yours as long as you pay for them. You may choose between higher or lower monthly fees depending on what packages you feel you want to purchase. This payment cycle will usually last for six months at first, then twelve, and then onto twenty-four if you’d prefer. Remember that the higher you pay, the more goods you’re receiving and the more properties of your domain name you’re protecting as yours.

By extension, your URL should match whatever your domain name is. For example, “Sam’s Blog Tips” should be “samsblogtips.com”. Sometimes you may have to insert a number in the URL if that exact name isn’t available, like “samsblogtips14.com”. But as far as Search Engine Optimization goes, you want the domain and URL to match exactly if you can. This makes you show up even higher on the search results list which means people will be more likely to click on it.

With regards to this, if your domain name is “Pete’s Blog Wars”, your URL should look like this, “petesblogwars.com”. Matching names and URLs help you to climb higher on the search results list. It’s basically a very easy way of engaging in SEO, or Search Engine Optimization. When you go to register the name, however, you will often be shown different choices of domains.

You may also build your own custom website, get a business email that’s connected to your site with your site’s name, and built-in security against scammers. It’s important to include security in your package, even if it’s a little bit more expensive. This will protect your from scam and spam in such things as comments sections and your business email inbox. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

You’ll also receive a business email to go along with your site if you wish and you’ll have the option of purchasing extra security to protect from scammers and virus threats that often pop up in comments sections or business email inboxes with help from GoDaddy coupons. GoDaddy Hosting makes review web hosting simple for you.

From a reader comment — “I’m interested in trying Paleo/primal-style eating. How do I start?”

Good question. Here’s my advice, expanded from earlier comments.

Start small. One step at a time.

In this order:

  1. Add more fresh fruits and veggies to your diet. Expand the variety that you do eat. Get some diversity in there. Make them colourful if possible — dark leafy greens, blueberries, purple beets, etc.
  2. Make sure you have a good roster of lean, ideally animal-based protein sources: chicken, turkey, duck, fish, eggs, seafood, lean red meats, game, etc. Get accustomed to having a bit of this protein with every meal.
  3. Eat only whole, unprocessed foods — again, fresh fruit/veg, fresh meats/fish/poultry, etc. Get used to eating these foods. Make sure you know how to shop for, prep, and make them taste good. (Not hard to do, luckily.) Learn where your food comes from.
  4. Once you have #1-3 solid, THEN remove ALL sugar. For carbs, have fruit or starchy veggies such as yams or butternut squash. I’m a hardass about sugar; some folks will say honey or maple syrup is “primal”, but unless you’re willing to climb a tree and stick your hand into a beehive, or suck on tree sap, I’m not buying that argument. (Here is a step-by-step guide to dumping sugar.)
  5. Remove ALL processed vegetable oils (e.g. corn oil, safflower oil, soy oil, cooking spray, margarine, etc.). Replace with small portions of good fats from whole foods: whole avocados, butter, fresh coconut, extra-virgin cold-pressed coconut oil (not the hydrogenated/refined crap), fattier cuts of grassfed/pastured meats, fattier fish, olives and extra-virgin olive oil, high-fat raw dairy, raw nuts, etc. But keep your portions moderate — one or two “thumbs” of fat per meal. Many a primal eater has “mysteriously” packed on a few pounds after heeding the siren call of cashews and bacon.
  6. Once you nail steps 1-5, only THEN remove ALL wheat and wheat gluten. (Read labels. But if you’re eating whole foods, there should be no labels.)
  7. Once you’re comfortable with both the no-wheat groove and carbs from veggies/fruit, take out all other grains — oats, rye, barley, etc. (Rice is usually well tolerated so the occasional sushi probably won’t break you.)
  8. Take out all non-fermented or non-raw dairy (e.g. raw milk cheese). Some purists say “all dairy” — I say take it all out, add fermented stuff back in slowly, and see if your skin breaks out or you get sniffly. Butter is usually OK, as is real whipping cream (read the label — often it contains milk.)
  9. Optional — take out beans and legumes such as lentils, soy, black beans, chickpeas, and peanuts. Personally, I find a few lentils or a bit of hummus now and again is no big deal, especially if the beans and legumes are soaked, sprouted, and/or fermented. So it’s your call on this one. But definitely chuck out soy.
  10. Add some fermented foods: sauerkraut, kimchi, etc.

I suggest doing it this way because it’s easier to add first, then take away. It’s also easier from a practical standpoint to learn one small step at a time. I suggest one week per step. If you need more time, take it.

Understand that you won’t really be rocking “primal” till step 7, but that steps 1-6 are a “primal warmup”, if you will. And understand that you will see improvements with each step, but usually not massive changes until you get rid of grains, sugar, and dairy.

Still, if you only ever do steps 1-5, you’re way ahead of most people.

Don’t get too hung up on fiddly details. Get it in the ballpark for now.

Other folks advise just leaping in and going full-on primal for a month. They argue that you need to remove all the crap right away so you’re hooked on how good you feel, and you get a lot of the junk out of your system immediately.

I don’t dispute that; I just prefer the one-thing-at-a-time method because it works better for the vast majority of my coaching clients.

It can be so overwhelming to learn, prep, cook, and live on a new diet, it’s easy to go off the rails. Then you feel like a screwup. Or you start nurturing a nascent eating disorder. Not really what we’re going for. So let’s keep it real, go slow, and make this work!

However: if you absolutely love the “cold turkey” approach, go for it! Check out RobbWolf.com and grab the Quick Start guide. Mmmm turkey.

In any case, give yourself time to “warm up”, learn the ropes, and prepare. Check out Everyday Paleo and Paleo Comfort Foods for recipe ideas.

Then let ‘er rip. Set yourself up for success with this experiment!

Handy tips

Don’t be intimidated — you’re probably farther ahead than you think. If you already eat pretty healthy, then you only need to make a few small changes and substitutions.

Keep a food journal as you do this. You don’t have to be obsessive. (In fact, you shouldn’t be obsessive with your food, ever, and if you are, UR DOIN IT RONG.)

Just write down what you’re eating and how you feel. The point here is to connect food with experiences and feelings.

You might discover things like “trigger foods” for health issues such as allergies, joint pain, migraines, depression, GI upset, etc. Notice how you feel after eating — even the next day. See if you observe any connections.

Keep it real. Don’t go down the rabbit hole of “Paleo products” just yet. Eat real, whole, fresh, unprocessed foods. Whatever your ancestors could have hunted, gathered, or dug up counts. (But it’s OK to cook things. Our ancestors had much tougher stomachs than we do.)

Portion size still matters. Ignore the folks who say you can eat anything you like and get ripped on primal eating. Folks who say that are usually 22-year-old dudes who are Crossfitting 15 times a week. The laws of thermodynamics still apply, so if you’re looking for fat loss, eat slowly and only until you’re just satisfied (not “full” or “stuffed” or “in a groovy bacon coma”).

Use this project as a way to connect with your own food history. Quite likely your family heritage involves traditional recipes that can easily be modified to suit a primal way of eating, and/or ancestral cooking techniques such as making real bone broths (soup stocks) or oven roasts. Heck, take the kids berry picking or something.

Above all: HAVE FUN! Don’t make this about restricting or controlling or being “perfect”; make it into a fun game and self-experiment.

Old school, baby!

Craig Staufenberg is an author and illustrator who’s just released an ebook titled How to Live: A Manual of Sensible Physical Culture that focuses on the history and lessons of the originators of the modern health, strength and fitness movement.

He’s not a personal trainer. He doesn’t work in a sports-science lab. In fact, he’s never participated in athletics in most traditional senses of the word.

His daily professional life and mission doesn’t revolve around physical culture.

In short, he’s probably one of the best people to give the “outsider-within” perspective — and a role model for the rest of us desk monkeys who got picked last for every team.

Physical culture

In his book, Staufenberg explores the history and development of “physical culture” — a loosely organized movement of deep immersion in the pursuit of health, strength, and top physical performance.

Physical culture is a lived practice; devotees seek mastery over self and skill rather than a “look” or a particular athletic feat (although they can perform pretty well and they usually look good naked). As Staufenberg writes:

The most important aspect of Physical Culture does not lie in training, mechanics, apparatus, or diets; neither the measurements of your biceps nor the poundage you can lift are the most crucial component. Rather, in sensible Physical Culture, education reigns supreme.

Physical culture, then, is a set of behaviours and a method — a profound and lifelong engagement with the wondrous powers of the human body — rather than a “workout plan” or “goal” in and of itself.

Although it emphasizes participating and becoming adept in a wide range of sports and activities, physical culture is closely linked to the so-called “iron game” — aka weight lifting. The term “iron game” connotes the sense of play and focus-without-outcome spirit that characterizes the overall physical culture project as a whole.

Here, Staufenberg shares his thoughts on physical culture and why it’s still important today.

When did you get interested in physical culture?

I didn’t actually have any interest in physical culture until college. My dad lifted weights in our basement and I had a lot of friends who played sports, but it didn’t interest me growing up. When I got to college I took up some interest in my health and fitness and employed the usual haphazard approach to gym life: I took some classes, did some yoga, pedaled a stationary bike most days of the week and played with the weight machines.

I did this for a couple of years without having much interest in educating myself further on the matter. I was in better health and more fit than I ever was before then, so I didn’t see the need.

I only began to take a real intellectual interest in health, strength and fitness when I started eating meat again right before my final semester at school. I started to read a lot more about diet, which took me to reading about exercise, which lead me to reading Vince Gironda’s materials.

I remember I ordered an old copy of Unleashing the Wild Physique and used it religiously. For the first time in my life I was employing my brain when it came to developing my body and I immediately put on 15 pounds of muscle and leaned out further. For someone who was previously about 130 pounds and “skinny-fat”, this was a big deal and enough to get me hooked on the culture.

Because I started out reading Gironda’s material and interviews with people who took an interest in his material I naturally kept looking at older material instead of more recent materials. I remember reading an interview with Randy Roach (author of Muscle Smoke and Mirrors), in which he talked about the original physical culturists, the old timers from the turn of the century. They sounded interesting to me so I started reading all of their books that I could find.

What do you continue to find compelling, attractive, and/or intriguing about physical culture?

I think it’s really compelling and interesting to know the history of where the modern health, strength and fitness industry came from, but also why it sprang up when and where it did.

Film studies was one of my passions. I already had a background in the history and intellectual climate of the late 19th and early 20th centuries from studying film history, and when I began to read the old timers’ books I couldn’t help but start drawing conclusions about why physical culture happened when and where it did, and basically why physical culture had to emerge in this time and place.

People who are already immersed in the health and fitness world will find it interesting to learn how physical culture originated, and why we continue to need it to this day. This understanding can be a good entry point for people who’ve never really seen the point of taking an interest in their body.

In the modern world we can’t afford to be ignorant of physical culture. It’s that simple, and looking at the history there are compelling reasons why that’s true.

Just as the person of sedentary habits and weak body possesses a correspondingly sluggish mind and lack of energy, so those who assiduously pursue a physical development gain not only that desired government of their organs, but in marked degree obtains a thorough mastery of their will and, consequently, an easy and contented mind.
– George Hackenschmidt – The Way to Live

Through pure spectacle and striking imagery, the bodies of the men of Physical Culture evoked
the imagination and desires within those who viewed them.

How did you find this source material?

I’d love to entertain and spread the notion that the material was difficult to track down, that I hunted for years at great danger and expense to myself to find it, but I’d just be lying to make myself sound cooler and more dedicated than I am.

The truth is a lot of this material is freely out there and available to anyone with the interest to check it out.

I found most of the materials used for the book on the sandowplus.uk website, which is an invaluable resource for those interested in reading some of the source texts. I found other manuals and books that I used through online searches as well. I know that there are some people who sell printed copies of some of the old manuals as well, and eBay is a decent place to find some original printings and magazines. But if you’re just interested in reading a lot of the physical culturists’ materials you can find them online for free.

Now just because the material is free and readily available doesn’t mean that it’s all very accessible.

The more recent material like Tony Sansone’s book sounds more modern and is very easy to read, but a lot of the earlier work can be difficult to work your way through. The language can be hard to understand, and most of the books aren’t particularly well illustrated.

We take for granted how clearly most exercise, diet and health books are laid out these days and how clearly their material is presented. The old timers’ books were a lot more literary and can be comparatively dense.

However, these books take on a more explicitly philosophical character than most modern books in the field. It’s not all bad.

Some of the older books remain incredibly easy to find and read. You just need to start with the right ones.

I recommend beginning with George Hackenschmidt’s The Way to Live, which I clearly cribbed my title from. It’s a great introduction to the old timers, but even if you’re only planning on reading one older physical culture book it should be his.

If you’re looking to read more than I recommend moving on to Bernarr MacFadden’s work. Known as the Father of Physical Culture, Macfadden wrote an incredible amount of books on a variety of subjects relating to health, strength and fitness, and created the publishing empire that fueled the movement. His books are pretty simple and straightforward, but he writes with a personal flair that makes them enjoyable as well as informative.

What are the most compelling messages in early physical culture?

There are three.

Message 1: Aid and assist nature.

The old timers understood that the natural way is the best way — that your body can produce anything and everything you need from it if you just follow a few natural rules.

These days people want to get certain physical results without following the rules of nature that spell out how their bodies are intended to work, so they turn to dangerous pharmaceuticals and the like.

One example of this is Viagra. If you just take care of your body, if you eat whole natural foods, if you exercise, and if you keep your mental and emotional health in good shape, than you’ll be blessed with a sex drive that will all but cause you problems. But people want to eat crap, never get off the coach, and refuse to deal with the psychological and emotional factors limiting their performance, and still prop wood whenever they want.

Now, I want to make it clear in this case I’m not talking about steroids or performance enhancing technology pharmecueticals or anything like that. I’m not talking about elite athletics and the practical demands of the modern sports world where taking anything and everything is necessary to compete, nor am I talking about people with serious medical conditions. All of that’s a discussion for another day, and one I’m probably not qualified to dive into.

Message 2: Most people don’t really want to be superhuman.

I think Sandow said it best when he explained that most people don’t need or desire the “strength of Atlas” for their lives. Most of us just want the health to live a long life devoid of serious illness, the strength and energy to get through our day and apply ourselves totally to our mission in life, the physical attractiveness to feel good about ourselves when we look in the mirror or go to the beach, and the athleticism to enjoy playing pickup sports and for having fun sex.

That’s what most of us really want out of our physical culture and the old timers knew it.

Unfortunately these days we’re assaulted via the media with the twin poles of superhuman athletes and fear-inducing messages of rampant debilitating conditions like morbid obesity, massive degenerative disease and the like.

There isn’t a lot of middle ground in the modern discourse for just having a good, healthy, human body- despite the fact that most of us fall into that middle ground when it comes to our needs and desires. The old timers’ physical culture provides a great starting point for developing that middle ground.

Message 3: Health springs from a healthy lifestyle.

The old timers knew that good health was about healthy living on a day to day basis, not about repeatedly bingeing on body recomposition. Persistence and persistence alone produces strength and good health.

In England the majority of healthy young women think nothing of a ten-mile walk. They will play lawn-tennis for hours against a well-matched opponent, row a boat up stream, and swim half a mile or so without dreaming that they are doing anything extraordinary.
–”The Physical Culture of Women”, from The Illustrated American, 1890

Instruction for women fencers, 1890

Instruction for women fencers, 1890

Why is your book important?

Aside from the above three points that I think we’ve lost in modern physical culture I also think it’s important to understand that nearly all the debates we have today about diet and exercise were being argued 100-150 years ago. The old timers debated cooked food diets versus raw food diets, vegetarianism versus meat eating, bodyweight versus iron, etc.

When you realize that these debates have been thrown about for a long time you realize that they aren’t going to be settled anytime soon, if ever.

Instead of allowing the debate to paralyze you as you wait for the definitively “right answer’” to come about, you can just pick some answers that work for you and commit to them.

Diet and exercise regimens are more about philosophy than anything else. Ultimately most people select their regimens according to how they feel about the world as a whole and then go and find the data that justifies their selection.

What about physical culture in non-Western regions?

As conceptualized in the book I’m not aware of other regions where physical culture played an important role, but my ignorance doesn’t mean they weren’t out there.

Every society has its physical culture, and all indigenous societies have an understanding of how to produce good health and strength. The difference in physical culture as described in the book was that it was intended to be applied largely to combat forces of urbanization and sedentary living.

India had a systematic form of physical culture that could translate to an urban industrialized environment, and which resembled and informed what the old-timers were creating closely enough to merit mentioning. There are physical culture books produced in India by Indians, and there were Indians who (like Prof. K.V. Iyer) were considered part of the movement.

As far as I know there weren’t any other regions outside of the US and Europe that were so directly connected to the physical culture movement.

India developed a system of physical culture thousands of years before the Europeans developed theirs because Indians valued the body as a route for ultimate meaning while Europeans saw the physical as an impediment to illumination. India wasn’t alone in their mature view of the body, but their systems translated relatively smoothly into European thought processes.

Clearly this is a massive, sweeping, over-generalized statement, but I think as a general idea it holds up.

What would an average day of PC look like?

If you followed the routines and understandings outlined and agreed upon by most of the old timers then a day would look like the following.

You wake up at a set time, the same time you wake up every day. The old timers often recommended sleeping from 11 pm to 7 am.

You then perform some light stretching in bed, or you would go for a short walk, some form of light physical activity to get your blood flowing.

A number of the old timers recommended you perform your concentrated physical exercises first thing in the morning, so you will probably perform your training routine as soon as you’re thoroughly awake. No matter what your training looked like you’d perform it in a minimum of clothing, in a room that had proper circulation and open windows.

Once you complete your training you would wash thoroughly and coarsely and vigorously towel off, as the old timers said this gave your circulation a workout. Some recommended washing with cold water, others with warm water, but few recommended bathing with hot water.

Washing and taking care of your grooming and hygiene would take at least a half hour, which gave your body time to relax after your workout to the point where you’d be ready to eat.

The old timers generally opposed eating immediately after exercise due to their focus on circulation. They felt that you blood needed to circulate through your muscles after exercise, and that eating a meal drew blood away from your muscles and into your digestive apparatus.

When your body was ready you’d eat a large breakfast of whole, natural foods that were minimally prepared and seasoned. You’d eat until you weren’t hungry any more, and you’d pay careful attention to chewing thoroughly. You wouldn’t read or do anything else that required a lot of brain power when eating. The old timers recommended you focus on your meal to optimize digestion.

After your meal you would go out and do your work or your chores for the day. Most of the old timers recommended against eating lunch, or recommended eating a lunch that was very light. Most of the old timers opposed eating more than twice a day. MacFadden even argued that the 3 meal a day plan killed more people than any other habit.

You’d go about your day and finish your work and then return home and eat a sizeable dinner. A long walk in the evening was usually recommended, and then you would relax and retire before heading to bed.

Your whole week would pretty much look like this. The old timers generally argued for as much regularity as possible in your life.

They argued a moderate, sensible and easy going lifestyle produced the best health in most people.

Strength comes not from adding, but eliminating the unhelpful, from wise reservation, highlighting the core philosophy of a balanced moderation… Your training and your life should invigorate, not drain… If after your exercise, your bath and your rub–down, you feel fit to battle for a kingdom, then your schedule is right.
How to Live

How closely does your own life mirror the principles of PC set out in the book?

There are certain specific habits that I retain from studying the old timers, but the main principle I’ve taken from my studies is the importance of the link between philosophy and physical culture.

If you wanted to you could develop good strength, energy and health by closely following any of the better books from the old timers. I’ve done so before. They work.

But from a purely results-oriented viewpoint there have absolutely been advancements in training techniques and dietary knowledge over the last century that produce larger measureable results in less time and with less effort.

Here’s the rub though: You can’t say that modern cutting edge sports science is better than the old timers’ methods without first defining the word “better”.

The old timers and the new school offer radically different views on what your relationship should be with your body, and there’s a direct link between the relationship you hold with your body and the relationship you hold with the world. The way you eat and the way you train aren’t isolated from the way you approach your life as a whole.

You can produce measurably higher physical output by approaching your body as an isolated, haphazardly developed machine that’s open to “hacking” if you want, but pause for a moment before you take that plunge and consider what kind of relationship that approach will develop between you and your body.

Is that the lens through which you want to see yourself, and by proxy the larger world? Metrics and tracking have their place, but in my opinion they exist to serve a deeper sense of purpose in life, or else these achievements ring hollow.

While they certainly held a certain mechanistic viewpoint of their bodies, the old timers ultimately didn’t see their bodies as fundamentally flawed machines open to exploitation. They revered their bodies and the natural flow that sustained and developed them.

The term “better” depends on the personal philosophy you want to adopt.

Do you want to see your body and the world as sacred and purposeful, or do you want to see your body and the world as a cold and mechanical ROI-based lab?

You can have a great looking physique, but without harmony, there is no happiness; without happiness, there will be eventual collapse on either or both the physical and mental fronts.
–Randy Roach, in How to Live

Steve Jobs is widely seen as the ‘face’ of Apple. His stage appearances are carefully packaged and well-rehearsed presentations that demonstrate how the icon lives up to the reputation as being the face of Apple. There is no better example of this than when he went onstage in January, 2007 to introduce the iPhone. There’s staging (building up to the announcement), humor (the doctored photo of an iPod with a rotary dial), and detailed information during the iPhone introduction.

Not a bad way to introduce the iPhone to the Apple faithful…

Look back for a few moments and take note of how this presentation uses everything to keep people entertained and on the edge of their seats:

Within this Visalus review, I am answering some key questions if you are currently researching Visalus as their home based business? Who is Visalus? What is it just that they feature their clients? May be the home business opportunity that they provide a legitimate one? Let’s begin my Visalus review.

Visalus is a health and fitness company that operates beneath the leadership of co-founder and CEO Ryan Blair. They offer products in relation to weight loss, anti-aging, and nutrition. These items include nutritional shakes, nutra cookies, and nutritional vitamins for starters.

Their flagship strategy is themselves by Vi Challenge Kits. These kits range in price from $49 to $249 per month. These challenge kits are already well praised by many people, and there certainly are a great number of testimonials, and pre and post pictures of those who have transformed their lives in addition to their bodies with these products.

Visalus has an incentive for their Body by Vi customers to refer this program to others. If your customer invites 3 friends to participate the process by buying challenging Kit of equal or greater value to their own, the referring customer will get the following months kit for free.

Visalus offers their product line by way of a large network of Distributors, representing the multi-level marketing (MLM) home business opportunity that they’re becoming well-known for.

It is possible to join Visalus like a Basic Distributor for $49. However, if you want to maximize your profits, and take part in every one of the various benefits and opportunities that Visalus offers, you will have to purchase an Executive Success System for $499 or $999. The additional cost associated with the $999 package would be the 30 additional Sample Packs you will receive for distribution in your prospects. With all of three packs, you’ll receive a One month free trial for Vi-Net Pro Marketing System. After the first 1 month, this may cost an extra $24 per month.

When you achieve sales, and start building your business of distributors below you, you’ll have a chance to participate in 8 compensation methods that Visalus employs. Such as:

Network marketing & Personal Customer Commissions
First Order Bonus
Weekly Enroller’s Pool
Fast Start Bonus
Team Commissions

Leadership Pool Bonus
Ambassador Star Bonus

These compensation methods are designed to reward not just customer acquisition, but team building and leadership also. As you learn to develop a large organization, and raise the sales volumes of the team overall, this compensation plan that Visalus employs will become a really lucrative one.

In my opinion, Visalus is an extremely legitimate company that provides popular products in the booming health and fitness industry. It is a multi-level marketing business, and so the practices of contacting friends and family, and participating in home meetings will still apply. When you have a powerful desire to build this business, and also have a adoration for the products which they offer, Visalus is really a solid opportunity to partner with.

As always, I wish the finest of luck in your search for a home-based business that’s ideal for you personally you.

Achievement in any Multi level markeing demands having a productive plan.Notice my personal total review of the particular Visalus Scam.

My boy Geoff Girvitz of Bang Fitness is running a fall bootcamp for any of you maggots who can’t wait to drop and give ‘em 50.

But don’t worry… it ain’t your momma’s bootcamp. (Although it can be, if she wants to join you.)

“We’re not really your bootcamp type of gym. So why are we prepping to run a bootcamp? Before we answer that question, let’s get on the same page. The term bootcamp crept into fitness circles during the mid to late 1990s with a series of camps run by ex-military personnel. Bootcamps were novel at first – an extremely harsh antidote to the group exercise classes of the time, which included Taebo and Buns of Steel. These classes brought you the unabashed joy of having a drill sergeant (or someone who could pass for one) cuss you out over an hour of intense calisthenics. They worked you with all the subtlety of a meat grinder but they worked you all the same.

For many, the novelty of having a guy like Sergeant Hartman disclose his sincere feelings about you (and the impact of your personal shortcomings on any given round of burpees) wore off quickly. As such, bootcamps began to take their current shape: outdoor fitness classes with a minimum of equipment and perhaps a touch of military-style chique. Now they’re everywhere – at least while the weather is good.

If you know anything about our gym, you’re probably wondering what on earth would motivate us to create a bootcamp. Here’s the thing: we’ve acknowledged that the term bootcamp will be around for a while longer and essentially means a tough morning fitness class. That’s cool because, as far as that definition goes, we’ll be running a bootcamp. However, that’s where the similarities end.

Our bootcamp will be different than most for a few key reasons:

1. We’ll determine your starting point. This doesn’t just mean body composition analysis; it means the highest level of work your capable of performing safely. And if you are not ready for our group classes, we’ll tell you. For better or worse, not everyone is.

2. We’ll customize your training – even within a group class setting. That takes a fair bit of expertise and planning but will allow us to produce appropriate intensity for all members of the class. You don’t have to worry about being the slow kid in the class or being too advanced to get a great workout. We’ve got you covered. Almost anyone at any level should feel equally crushed when we turn up the intensity.”

Sound appealing? Yeah!!

Here’s more info and the signup.
