Fat loss Workout Tip & Challenge

We all like to think we give 100% when we workout 

but the truth is that many of us (myself included) tend to slack of from time to time which means less fat burning and trouble staying at 

our desired weight, body fat, and fitness levels.

 

My job is to make sure you're working out as hard as you think you are ;-) 

With that said, why not try an outdoor challenge or a race 

like the Rubber Duckie Race here in Burnaby on Oct 16th.

Are you looking for a challenge 
or may be a qualitative test to see how strong and far you have progressed since joining bootcamp - THIS IS IT!

CardioCore will be at this race providing the warm up, water station and post stretch tent so come bye and say "hi!"

Need a bunny pacer? I would be happy to run a long side you to keep you company!
Give your CardioCore Conditioning Coach a call. They would be happy to help provide you will the tools to complete this race successfully!

The Rubber Duckie Race is 3 weeks away. More than enough time to train for the 5km (you run at least a quarter of that amount at bootcamp!)


For those who have attended a TRYevent before you can attest to the fun and scenic challenges TRYevents offers.

Can't make it to this race? They have a series of races all over the Lower Mainland and on Vancouver Island --> check it out here

Rain, Rain Go Away - Banish Winter Blues!

The seasons and weather are changing and sometimes our moods may change with them. If less daylight leaves you feeling blue, or down in the dumps, try some of these tips to lift your spirits and stay on track with your weight loss goals.

Don't let the weather outside derail your healthy habits. Continue to follow a nutritious diet that includes healthy foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nonfat dairy products. Opt for 'lighter' comfort foods like vegetable soups and casseroles. You can include fish such as salmon or tuna to get mood-lifting omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.

Get regular exercise. Moving your body is a great way to give your mood a boost. Aim for at least thirty minutes of activity a day. Go for a walk, or if the weather outside does not allow that, then keep going with daily exercise indoors. Get moving to a workout or dance DVD or do some house cleaning, which is a great way to burn some extra calories.

Be sure to get a good night's sleep. Move the television and computer out of the bedroom. The bedroom should be a place for relaxation and sleep. Keep your sleeping area as dark as possible, as well as cool and quiet. Make a relaxing pre-bed routine, such as having a warm bath and a cup of decaf tea.

Lift your spirits by spending time with family and friends. Plan activities with people that you know you enjoy. Make time to play a board game or a Wii® game with your kids, or go to a movie with a friend. Building a network of friends and family that can nurture you will support you in your weight loss efforts too.

FLASH MOB - Geocache in Burnaby - Oct 10th

FLASH MOB
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2010 AT 10:10 AM
Deer Lake Beach

A Park 'n Grab Event cache

   From Groundspeak:
We want to see how many geocachers can go geocaching on a single day! We've chosen 10-10-10, since the date represents 10 years of geocaching and 10 years of Groundspeak in 2010. 

Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your worst enemy (if that's what it takes) and let's see if we can beat the previous record of 56,654 accounts logging on April 18, 2010. Even one log counts since we are counting how many accounts log a cache rather than the number of caches logged.


Arrive at Deer Lake Beach on Sperling Ave in Burnaby sometime (10 - 15minutes) before the official start time.


 

1. Log your attendance on the provided slip of paper - this will be the log book.

2. Hang on to it.

At the appointed time (yes, I know it is "early" on a Sunday morning) katcogo will stand in the spot and count UP to 10

3. Drop your log slip of paper in the provided container.   Now for the Scatter:

4. Pick up a piece of paper from a second container.
This is a passport will provide coordinates for one of six new unpublished caches (they will be published the following day).

5. Go get the cache listed on your paper.

Inside that cache will be the coordinates for the next cache in the series.

LEAVE THIS IN THE CACHE!
If you remove it you will be mocked and cachers will hold their nose every time your name is mentioned. This should spread out traffic for FTFs and give everyone a fair chance for one, if that sort of thing appeals to you.

There will be a custom event FTF button in each cache.

 The Unscatter  4 of the 6 caches will have 1 digit to open a final cryptex at the
Picnic Area at Fraser Foreshore Park
N 49 11.589 W 123 00.021

the first 30 cachers to open the cryptex will get a custom event button. I will also have some small snacks. 

Just like in the Davinci Code...cool huh?!

We will be there from 11:30 - 1:00 or so.

If you have other things on your calendar for the day, do either the Flash Mob or drop by the Unscatter.

If you can't make it at all, be sure to find 1 cache on 10-10-10!
