A couple weeks ago we discussed "cardio" and it's relative effectiveness for losing bodyfat. (More Cardio Please!) I promised a follow up that would explore more evidence that steady state cardio isn't always what it is cracked up to be. When you walk into Get Fit NH Bootcamp you are not going to see traditional "cardio" machines such as treadmills, ellipticals and stationary bikes - and … [Read more...]
Mobility, Stability and How Stretching Keeps You Healthy
Many people train at Get Fit NH Bootcamp so they have the ability to walk, run, hike, bike, ski, and swim as they wish. I say go for it. Spend your free time with family and friends moving. Others want to be able to move again. Life doesn’t always deal us what we want. Accidents, falls, surgeries, weekend warriors; acting 19 when you are really 52 without proper training leave some people at … [Read more...]
Being Nostalgic…
Wicked Winter Workout, was Wicked Wild FUN! Outside, fresh air... snow in the face, down the shirt, in the pants, what's not to like about that?! Going nostalgic here- Once upon a time... all workouts were outside! There was no building to workout in. We worked out with the black flies, hot sun, and mosquitoes.

The 6pm MACHINES!
So, I've had writer's block this week... until today! All week I would get a random thought in my head but nothing would mesh.

Karl In His Own Words – “Mr. 102″ Tells How He Did It
We highlighted a few weeks ago how Karl reached his goal of losing 100 pounds (or more) last year. Now we get to hear from the man himself. Karl's Transformation I was too fat and not happy with the way I looked or felt. The only problem was that I didn’t know what to do or how to go about changing that.

Get Fit NH Bootcamp 3.0
On May 8, 2008 we held our first training session with 9 crazy people (some who are still with us) out in a grassy part of our backyard. We had an absolute blast getting our face in the dirt, getting wet when it rained, running around our house - good times! Get Fit NH Bootcamp was born. It really was like military bootcamp in a lot of ways. Back in the "early days" we had a training manual … [Read more...]
