Final Countdown Boot Camp has arrived. Hope you all enjoyed a festive Thanksgiving weekend and had great times with family and friends, but now it is time to get back to work!
So clean out your refrigerator and go shopping for good food choices. It is much easier to stick to a nutrition plan if you surround yourself with good food choices. Not sure what you should be eating? Ask your fitness conditioner or post your questions to the blog.
During the month there are some important things to remember.
1) We know that new shoes can be expensive. But getting new shoes can help prevent injury. You really should have a pair that is less than 1 year old, even if you haven't worn them very much! We don’t want you to throw away your money so take care of your shoes! The constant wear and tear can be hard on your shoes…so clean them!
2) It has been proven that people who write down what they eat on a daily basis lose more weight then those that do not. So, if weight loss is a goal of yours, keep writing down what you eat even though log books aren’t required during "Final Countdown". You can still ask for advice if you need it!
3) We know that you are all very busy people. Traveling for work or getting the kids to school can get in the way of making it to the gym every day. If you miss a day of workout, you always have the choice of attending another group session or doing a homework assignment. Check the schedule for the times of sessions. If you are going to miss a class, always email one of the fitness conditioners and let them know.
4) Please take care of yourself this month. If you pull a muscle, do not stretch it (if you stretch, you are just adding more micro tears). Relax and get ice on it ASAP. And remember, RICE, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. That’s right…it says REST! Sometimes you may need to take a day or two to allow your injury to heal. But this doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t exercise at all. If you twist your ankle and can’t run or jump, head to workout anyway. The Rialto Wellness instructors will help you modify workouts or come up with exercises you can do that will allow you to get a great workout without further aggravation to your injury.
5) It is important to remember that we don’t own the Montclair Recreation Center! Please be respectful and help to take care of the center. If you bring water bottles, gloves, towels, or anything to the recreation center, they should leave with you!
6) Mark your calendars now! The Rialto Wellness "Give a Toy, Get a Free Workout will be Thursday December 18th. This December challenge will be a "Toys for Tots" benefit, and all campers, former campers, and friends are welcome. Just bring an unwrapped toy for donation to participate and get a F.R.E.E bootcamp session on us! More details to come!!!
