6:30PM LCRA Boot Camp showing off there core strength! This boot camp is the first one I started and had only one person in it the first three months of existence. That was three years ago this August and the very first person you see here is Vic. He is my first and original boot camper in and still going strong. The class has obviously grown since then, but most the people in the class have been with me from over a year to at least three months. These guys have made boot camp apart of there lives and workout regiment.
The spring has sprung, warm weather is abound and getting fit is fun! Cindy getting her sweat on at 5pm LCRA boot camp and loving it. We meet three days a week on top of a parking garage at the LCRA campus on Lake Austin Blvd. We have a hill (the parking garage ramp) and plenty of stairs to run up and down, so the butt kicking is in full affect. Rain or shine, hot or cold, we meet in any type a weather and love it. Whats the point of this post you ask? No point, just wanted to say that I love these people and I'm truly am grateful for their full participation in their health and wellness.
It's crazy to me how I can have such strong opinions on darn near everything and not know what to blog about. If you haven't noticed I don't blog so much and it is because I don't always know how to put my thoughts into words or find a video that can explain what I believe beyond fitness or politics. This video does some of that for me. I do think that we create our own reality by what we think and that our thoughts manifest our realities. This has to do with everything in our lives, from fitness, to relationships, to work. You create your own happiness, or your own misery. Being a trainer I have the privilege to be involved in many people's lives. I hear many different reasons why someone can't do this or just excuse in general. I have to admit it frustrates me. You have all the power to change your life, to make things better for your self. Learn to change your thought proses, understand that you are in control. You make your life what it is by your thoughts and then how you react to them. I have to practice this every day and remind myself that I control my destiny. The same thing applies to you.
This past weekend my sister Carey Kepler, Chris Hartwell and myself made the short trek up to Ft. Worth for a fun filled weekend with Coach Mike Burgener and his daughter Sage and earned our very own Crossfit Olympic Weightlifting Certification! It was probably my most favorite cert. that I have ever attended and one of the most informative. Coach Burgener is truly a great man and a great teacher. What I learned this weekend is going to take my oly. lifts to the next level. Thanks Coach B.
The Fittest Games this past Saturday was more fun than I can explain. Watching people push them selves and compete against other like minded people was just awesome. Thanks to all the participants and volunteers. The next competition is April 4th and should be a lot of fun. I'm thinking we should take thous Dallas kids out!
Lady's and Gentlemen, warm weather is on it's way so no more excuses. You can no longer say the cold is keeping you away. The new month starts next Monday, so get signed up!
