Big Boned?, Weak Boned?, Tromboned?

Dear Students, Friends, & People that want a serious, no sissy's allowed, type of workout:

I'm sort of on a strong bone structure, avoid osteoporosis later kick. Did you follow that last sentence? In other words, your bone density is decreasing everyday you are sedentary.

Do you know how you increase bone density?

You put your bones under stress! Controlled stress of course. You do resistance training. Let's think about this anatomically. When you lift something heavy, with your arms, your biceps contract. While the bicep is contracting, the tendon is pulling on your ulna. In theory, if your bicep was super strong, and your bones were weak, it could essentially rip the tendon right out of the ulna. This doesn't happen because if your biceps were strong, that would mean you have also strengthened your bone structure.

Now, what would happen if you don't exercise and you don't put your muscles or bones under this type of stress to become stronger. You should be alright, right? Whatever clever!

Do you know what would happen if you go years without an exercise program and you experience an accident skiing, working, biking, etc? The stress is way more than the "weak bone, strong bicep" analogy mentioned earlier. What happens is the bone breaks several times easier than a person who exercises regularly in a program designed to build strength.

In plain English, when a muscle contracts and pulls on the bone, the body learns that in order to support the pressure being applied, that it needs to become more dense or it will snap. Does plain weight lifting do this? Well, yes, but I believe a program that includes the resistance training of weights, and multi-directional body resistant movements is ultimate. After all, we don't live our lives linearly, such as with weight lifting. We are constantly twisting, and bending in every direction throughout the day. Ever wonder why you twist a certain way, then ZAP! There went your back for 2 days.

Anyway, with all this in mind, we created our Thai-Fusion Fitness Bootcamp class. A program that combines the cardiovascular element of Thai-Robics with the resistance training of our Sport Fusion class. If you're unfamiliar with both of those programs- Thai-Robics is our longest standing fitness program (since 1995). It's a sweat dumping, cardio pumping aerobic kickboxing class.

Sport Fusion is a circuit training class that uses sport drills as the means to better fitness. You'll train like a soccer player at one station, then like a downhill skier at another, and so on. The exercises stay fun and challenging every single week.

Our June bootcamp at 6 am completely filled up. We're expecting a strong turn out for the rest of the summer. If you're interested, get your spot now.

Here are the knitty gritties:

12 session bootcamp is $79 (July)
