Don't WAIT- Sign up for the MLFC today!!!


What are YOU waiting for? You have been coming to Baby Boot Camp, you have made some changes but have been hoping to make more. NOW IS THE TIME!

Each week there are different prizes and awards!!!! The idea is to not only reach and surpass your fitness goals, but truly make a change in yourself. It could be to feel confident in that bridesmaid dress you are wearing for your brother's wedding in June, to not walk but RUN the Shamrock Run in March, to proudly do 20 traditional push ups or to never sit down when at the park because you are the Mom who is chasing her kiddos and actually on top of the playstructure before they are.

Yesterday afternoon, I took the girls to the park and there was a Mom chasing her kiddo and she was having a blast. She said loudly "Do you remember when I couldn't do this? I can keep up with you now!". I continued to watch her and when she ran by I couldn't help myself but busted out "Congratulations! You are doing incredible and I couldn't help but hear the excitment in your voice when you ran by. When did you start exercising again?". She responded pointing to her son, "I haven't done anything for 6 years, since he was born, and I just started working out again one month ago. I have already lost 6 pounds and feel like a new Mom. Tell your friends don't stop, but keep active the whole times your babies are little..." to which she ran off again chasing her son.

If you are in a lull right now, or if you are just needing to be reenergized do it now! You will be matched up with a partner, we will have 3 cozy meetings followed by workouts, and you will be accountable. There are winners each month for various awards, Challenges throughout, and also an overall team Challenge for those who lose the most percentage in weight and running speed, increase the most in strength, and are the most creative with encouraging others to be healthy, active and helping the planet.
