Curtis in action with Fox 10's Kristin Anderson

Wow so much to cover in this blog post! Today marked the day of an amazing opportunity at Rock Star Boot Camp. We were on Fox 10 News!!! As in the TV channel! CLICK HERE to see the clip of the action! It's so amazing how many people came out to support what we do, how hard we all work, and salute our trainers; Curtis, Rachelle, and Debbie for always taking us to the next level. Are you ready for the Spartan Race next week? It's going to be so awesome, I can hardly contain myself. RSBC is the leader in obstacle race training, get in on that action with Spartan Workout Info HERE. Check out some of our training walls, where else can you get these? NOWHERE!








More good news, if you've been keeping up with updates on the Rock Star Facebook page (make sure you LIKE the page to get news, updates, recipes, workout tips.. etc) you'll know that tomorrow, Saturday 2/4/12 is the beginning of yet another new chapter, Kid's Camp. What does it involve? A little teaser from Rachelle:


"Agility hurdles, hop scotch, ladder jacks, sand-bell toss and run, football scrimmage, scavenger hunt and Simon says...what do these things have in common?? Kids Camp at Rock Star Boot Camp 9am Saturday (Desert Ridge location). Don't let your kids be left out. Fun and Fitness all in one place. We've set the age range at 8-13, but we're flexible if your young teen wants to work it out like a true Rock Star or your mature 7 year old needs to burn off some calories along with some energy, this is the camp for them. We will modify the workouts, just like we do for all our campers (from Spartan Racers to Grandma Jean at 75 years young) no matter the age! All the kids will get a great workout, modified to their level, while having tons of fun."

A lot of info huh? Now on to the yummy stuff. Personally I find it a little challenging some (most) days to get in good snacks and food throughout the day. Having little ones at home, sometimes taking care of ourselves gets pushed to the back burner while we care for them. Still, we NEED to eat to fuel our bodies for day to day activities and overall health. My favorite go-to snack is Greek yogurt dip (my preference is Ranch, although I've never had the ones from Costco that look amazing) and every kind of veggie there is. Great source of protein, and really you can eat as many veggies as you want, all day long! I make about a cup at a time and snack on that throughout the day. It's easy, fast, delicious, healthy... the total package.

1 cup of Greek yogurt with a Ranch dip packet.

Cucumber salad is also a quick, 10 minute or less, snack idea. It's pretty filling too because all of the water in the ingredients. I snack on this all day long, a few bites here and there: 1 large cucumber, 2 roma tomatoes, half a bunch of cilantro, half small red onion, a few tbls of lemon juice (one big lemon will be enough juice for normal people, but I like a lot), salt to taste. It's best to sprinkle the salt on top and let it marinate for about 30 minutes (totally optional) so the flavors are really drawn out by the salt. Or if you can't wait to dive in, eat it right away!


Of course munching on raw almonds, apples/bananas and peanut butter, hard-boiled eggs are always a staple snack too but I can never get enough fresh cucumbers. I need a cucumber garden.


My last favorite is a smoothie. My husband actually found the recipe online one night and made it for me for my post workout drink. I LOVE IT. He has one ready for me every night when I come home from camp. It kind of reminds me of a strawberry milkshake from Burger King, except WAY better.

½ cup fresh or frozen strawberries
