MORE THAN A NUMBER ON THE SCALE
MORE THAN A NUMBER ON THE SCALE
One of the hardest obstacles of boot camp for me was the SCALE. I was (and some days still am) a person whose day was ruled by the number on the scale.
My back-story:
I was a “solid” kid who was much larger than the other girls in my class. In the 3rdgrade I became very aware of my body being bigger. My “dieting” began that year. But I was clueless and I also loved sugar. I steadily gained weight and THEN came high school! My freshman year in gym class, we all had to stand in a line to get weighed. I had an old hag of a gym teacher who said the numbers out loud as she weighed us. To me she might as well have been announcing this over the loud speaker. As she said the number there were a few that heard it. One boy said “she weighs more than me”. I clearly remember my body trembling, my stomach hitting the floor and literally wanting...

Sarah's 35th Birthday Workout
Sarah's 35th Birthday Workout
Here is a workout we did to celebrate my amazing wife's 35th birthday! It requires no equipment and you can work at your own pace. This workout is considered a ladder. You climb down and if you have time you can climb back up again.
There are 4 exercises in each round. The first round you do each one 35x the next 30x - 25x - 20x - 15x - 10x - 5x. You can take a rest break then or go after the next round with 4 new exercises and climb back up. Round 1 5x of each of the 4 exercises, then - 10x - 15x - 20x - 25x - 30x - 35x.
If you are working out with someone faster than you, you can challenge them to climb back down again on the last set. This workout could take anywhere from 30 - 60 min. Also, you don't have to start at 35x if you aren't as sure of yourself. You can start at 20x and on set 2 just climb to 20x (or other number that feels right for you)
Set 1 Exercises - (climbing down from 35 by 5's) V -ups
Burpees
High Knees
Arm Circles

How many reps for maximum toning and results?
This is a very confused topic. Some people thing they have to do 50 reps others think 8-12 reps, some people even believe it’s 1-3 reps.
(for those who don’t know reps is short for repetitions and is the number of times you perform a resistance exercise before you take a rest)
That’s quite a range! Anywhere from 1 – 50?
(here is a chart taken from research on the subject)
Secret…I DON’T LIKE THIS CHART!
Why?
Because it makes you think you can’t get stronger with 20 reps or more muscle at 30 reps. These are the optimal numbers from the research but this research is usually done on college students mostly male.
I used to take this chart as gospel until I actually taught group exercise. I used to teach a resistance class that was pre-choreographed. That means all the moves were determined ahead of time. There was a song that all you did was squat. So for like 4-5 minutes you were doing always...
