2 BIG Fat Loss Killers.

I'm sure there are many reasons why a lot of people are having trouble with weight loss and keeping it off.

So here are 2 BIG reasons why people are failing.

1.) Lack of social support

What are the chances that you are the only person at home who wants to eat right and workout regularly?

Pretty high right?

No doubt your in a minority at work too where you want to get a quick workout in before or after work?

If this is the case then your not going to have anybody there to make sure your eating right and not allowing yourself to cheat in weak moments, which happen often.

2.) Your Program isn't structured by a Professional.

If you go to court, you get a solicitor. If you damage ankle ligaments chances are you go to a Physio.

So why, when you go to workout do people not have a fitness program designed by a Fitness Professional?

Despite all the fancy gym equipment, the extra gyms, the more people training etc, it really doesn't surprise me why people in general are not getting any results because they are going by a made up program.

No wonder you guys get frustrated and give up after 4 weeks. Do the right thing and hire a Professional to design your program, it works!

At Boro Boot Camp you get social support with up to 16 other like minded people all striving for the same fat loss results as you are trying to achieve and the program is specifically designed to burn lbs of fat away from your body.

Don't make the same mistake as last year and be cuing up for a cardio machine that won't help you, sign up for Boro Boot Camp whilst places are available and say goodbye to those saggy bits you are tired of seeing everyday.

Running to get in shape?

What is the deal with people running to get "in shape"?

Everyday, morning or evening i see half a dozen people at the very least dragging their feet along a foot path in pain pulling funny faces. The main question i ask is, why are most people who are running hugely out of shape?

Running will not get you "in shape" unless your specialising in a running program for a running event.

You see, most people who i see run are not runners. They are out of shape human beings that have been ill advised to start running for fat loss. Out of about a dozen people i see running everyday i think maybe about 2 of those are in actual shape to be running, the rest shouldn't be doing it.

A colleague of mine is a physiotherapist. Arguably he is of one the most intelligent people I've ever come across in his field. On average, he gets around 4 new clients a week from running alone with injuries that he describes as "overuse injuries". That is from running alone!

The main problems these "running clients" have are a weak core, poor hip range of movement, poor hip strength etc etc, to be honest i could go on.

You see, if your feet are hitting the ground over 1000 times each time you run 1 mile, or over 2000 times every 2 mile then something in your body is going to wear out.

To quote a fellow professional, Bill Hartman:

"Unless your training for a marathon or some other endurance-related event and have been properly evaluated by a qualified health professional who gives you the green light that it's safe to run....then don't run".

At www.borobootcamp.co.uk we do no running yet will get you in the best shape you have been in a long time, perhaps ever!

The Beginner Gym Go'er Workout.

Come on, hands up!

What does an average session at the gym look like for you?

Let me guess, 10 minutes at a slow pace on a treadmill, add another 10 minutes on a stationary bike, and then if you feel up to it you'll add 10 minutes on the cross trainer.

Does that sound familiar?

For a beginner, despite what the norm will think, doing the average workout can become detrimental to your fitness goals due to a few reasons.

First off, it can cause injuries. If your injured you can't train. If you can't train then your fitness goals are going to be a heck of a lot harder to reach.

In the initial 6 weeks of a training program for a beginner, there is up to a 90% chance of picking up an injury.

You see, the musculoskelatal system is very easily OVER-trained when it is de-conditioned. A beginner does way too much cardiovascular (CV) work which places too much stress on your musculoskelatal system resulting in too much overload which will cause an injury.

How can this be avoided?

To start with, most beginners are overweight. Every overweight person has very little structure with posture and muscle balance etc, so a training program that targets these weaknesses will help align everything up in the correct form.

A resistance program targets the muscular system and that controls your rest periods in order to create a cardiovascular style workout whilst getting you stronger and reducing the chance of injury.

At Boro Boot Camp we do hardly no running whatsoever, and specifically get each and everyone of you stronger whilst you burn fat and get fitter than ever.

Are you active at this time of year?

I read an interesting piece of information a couple of days back from a magazine article.

"Society gains an average of 12 lbs of fat between Halloween and January 1st".

I'm not sure if it's an actual fact or if it's just a guess, but i bet it's not far from the truth!

Let's say at Halloween you indulge in a few too many sweets, you know, the high sugar, a few drinks etc, etc. Then all your focus becomes on Christmas, you spend you energies on shopping, you think to yourself, "oh I'll leave exercise until New Year", which many do then before you know it Christmas is upon us.

During this time we indulge in all those free sweets, chocolates and cakes, we attend Christmas parties and so on. Then it's New Years Eve. Long night, more drink, more sugary foods that your offered etc, etc.

So before you know it January 1st is here. Looking back i think 12lbs could be the minimum the average person puts on. A couple of months with no exercise regime and a bad diet doesn't equal good results : )

So, after taking this in, come January chances are many of you are going to be in serious need of dropping a dress size at the very least!

Don't make the same mistake as last year, and the year before that. Get signed up to our January camp and get the results you are wanting to achieve.
