Ladies, Don't Under Eat!


Some women fall into the trap of not eating enough because they think it will make them thin. This is a very unhealthy way to lose weight and besides it doesn't work. As soon as you do eat 'normally' again you will gain all the weight back, and then some.

A question that most women ask in boot camp is: How many calories should I be eating?

For women to lose body fat, you do need a slight deficit in the calories you consume which is around 10-11 calories per pound of body weight. However, I find that women are under eating, especially protein, and are under the minimum 10-11 calories per pound mentioned above. So what does that do to your bodies ability to lose fat? It creates a domino effect of negative reactions to losing any body fat at all.

Here is what under eating does to your body:

~ Slow your metabolic rate considerably (up to 30%)

~ Sacrifice (tear down) muscle for energy. Not good!

~ Decrease thyroid levels

~ Cause hunger pangs…a starving mechanism so you’ll eat.

~ Lower testosterone levels. I know you’re a girl, but testosterone is still important.

~ Cause nutritional GAPS. You’re not getting enough of the right nutrients to support metabolic functions.

~ Cause fatigue. You have no energy to exercise at the intensity that you need to be.

~ Increased insulin response from low protein meals. You want it low.

~ Cortisol levels increased from putting your body in “stress” starvation mode.

~ Serotonin levels sharply decrease causing sugar cravings! A biggie ladies!!


Under eating or starving yourself also causes other problems as well. It's not hard to see that you shouldn't go overboard when cutting your calories. It is important rather that you include a good source of lean protein each time you eat your daily meals and snacks. You should be eating at least 5 times per day!

Chandler Boot Camp Tips = Successful Results!


Why is it that so many people find themselves struggling and seem to give up on the fitness world? Are your workouts: monotonous, blah, boring, or dull? Maybe it's because you do the exact same thing each and every time. Lots of people are looking for some type of quick fix, or try the latest fitness fad. This is why women get frustrated because eventually they plateau and don't see any form of results. Breaking free from any fitness rut is easy to do when you partake in one of Body Envy Boot Camp's training sessions - guaranteed!
Body Envy Boot Camp creatively designed by its professional Chandler personal trainers offers 3 major secrets as to why it has been so successful for women in reaching their ultimate fitness goals. The number one secret that every woman wants more than anything else is: results. Boot camp is such a successful program that when you follow the guidelines to a tee you will absolutely without a doubt see awesome physical changes to your body. You can reach a multitude of fitness goals in boot camp at any level of fitness from beginners to advanced such as losing weight, getting more physically fit, or becoming faster and stronger. Body Envy Boot Camp personal trainers know how to fight fat effectively by using interval training in the workouts they provide for their clients. The intervals could be 30 seconds or 2 minutes with a short rest in between. This helps to boost your metabolism for hours after your workout! This would greatly help anyone who sits at a desk all day. As you can see, the major factor here is results. If women are not seeing any changes in their body appearance then they stop working out all together out of sheer frustration.
The second secret to success is that in boot camp you always have variety to mix things up. It's the boot camp personal trainers job to put together fun and creative workouts that blend the use of many different exercises together to make sure women are not getting bored. Some workouts combine fitness elements like jump ropes, body weight exercises, step-ups, and the use of free weights. You never know what workouts to expect which helps to keep you on your toes and interested in each and every session. You'll feel left out if you didn't make it to a session, it's too much fun.
Having a sense of being 'part of a team' is another reason a camp atmosphere is such a success. Most likely you don't see people at the gym working out as if on the same team. It make sit more fun to be with friends, even family, so it's best to grab a companion and hit the workouts together. The sense of camaraderie helps you to bond with others who are working just as hard as you are. It's motivating and encouraging to see other women like your self on their fitness journey. You are not alone. It's hard to put into words but you have to experience it first hand to know how having others there with you affect your fitness goals for the better.
How much better would it be to look forward to working out instead of it being something you dread? If you've never exercised in a place where you only get stronger, faster, and fitter each month, then you are mising out! Would you simply like to enjoy your workouts instead of dread them? You need to head over to Body Envy Boot Camp if you are like most women and are ready to see some changes to not only their bodies, but to a healthy lifestyle as well.

The Ultimate Fitness and Weight Loss Experience

There are many women in the world today with no experience in working out, and often think that the term 'Boot Camp' is for hard core fitness nuts who already have to be strong in order to participate, however this type of thinking couldn't be farther from the truth. Many women who try boot camp for the first time are converted just minutes into the workout. Women of all ages, shapes, and sizes are encouraged to attend because there is something for everyone, and boot camp provides the best fitness training options for beginners aka 'newbies' and the avid athlete. Boot camp is also an option for those women out there who are looking to maintain or increase an already high quailty level of fitness.

Body Envy Boot camp is a fast paced program with not much rest. We call it 'boot camp' for a reason, and no it's not easy. You don't want it to be easy or you won't experience any significant results. You may not believe this, despite how hard boot camp may sound to a beginner, being in a group setting makes it fun to workout in, especially for women. You'll wonder where the time went because it's such an enjoyable way to workout. This is one of the reasons why Body Envy Boot Camp is the most sought after boot camp in Arizona.

Part of what makes this boot camp an experience you won't forget are the workuts. The best part is that you don't even need to buy or birng any fitness equipment. The workouts are allready creatively thought out, planned, and arranged so all you have to do is show up! Of course you need to do your part and be consistent by actually getting yourself to camp.

Just a few examples of what makes Body Envy the ULTIMATE in weight loss:

- Weight training. This is a must if you want to replace fat with lean muscle, increase strength, and of course look toned. If you want to be fit...then this is it.

-Body weight exercises. How much do you weigh? Imagine using your own body as the weight for your workouts. Moving whatever amount you weigh through some challenging exercises that were designed to blast away fat will no doubt leave you fatigued.

- Cardio Conditioning. By combining weights and conditioning, say goodbye to any unwanted calories hanging around, the cardio uses up body fat as energy, so your body has no choice except to burn the fat right off!

Body Envy Boot Camp isn't just a workout. The Chandler Personal Trainers hold the key to the ultimate fitness success: the goal is igniting your metabolism and firing up your bodies energy systems to be a fat burning machine, even at rest.
