Tuesday morning camp at the A field at Wyoming High school, is the best, The track is great and my feet second that motion. A big HOOAH, to Linda who agrees that the track is perfect enough for her to run and she's not a runner.

1 mile and 1/2 around the track Troop Wyoming Avengers of the A field/1 and a 1/2 mile run-walk/tire push-ups, dips/prisoner squats/med ball lunge twist/killer ABS way to go Wyoming!!!

I was asked this morning for the recipes that I prepared for the Midwest Culinary Institute, I will post the recipes in my next post.

Stay Committed!

MAJOR FITNESS BOOT CAMP BLOG

Major,

Saturday was great, I took care of business at College Hill Belmont rec, center 0730-0830
kicked ... I was asked to speak, at Cincinnati State, Mid west Culinary Institute this past weekend along with Chief Shawn McCoy owner of The Brown dog cafe.
Topic: Exercise to maintain your body & eating to fuel the body for weight loss.
Shawn, was there for my Thurs early AM camp and Shawn will tell you that he got a full body mix of strength/core/cardio and it was quite a challenge. because you were always moving.
Shawn has lost and maintain a 65 pound weight lose, and realizes that you must do them both in order to get consistent health and fitness gains.
Confession
I was more surprised at how much I enjoyed cooking.
