Boot Camp at Shiloh Park

Hey, hey, hey, hey!!!! You made this week of boot camp a true success. It's Friday and your smiling faces tell me that you are ready for that last push before the weekend. You have completed everything from your 1 mile test to your free-throw shooting, to your partner sprints, to dropping and giving me 25 for being tardy; you are the reason boot camp exists. I know you are feeling awesome because my glutes are kicking butt from today's walking lunges and line squats. Today was a great way to begin the weekend.

To those of you who didn't make it today because of work obligations or reasons beyond your control, it's okay. I just want everyone to remember that the weekend is not an excuse to forget that you are eating clean, drinking plenty of water, and making healthy decisions. Renee, Tabitha, and Linda, I have to tell you that you are the bomb! You made it to every session. I didn't hear you complain once, and I know the trainers and I were in your faces more than you wanted us to be. HooRah!!!

Boot campers, you have overcome headaches and nausea and cramps in the side and achy calves and shins, and it will pay off for you. Even I felt a little sick a few days this week. A lack of sleep will do that to you. I cannot stress enough that you get enough rest, relaxation, and rejuvination before you return to boot camp next week. We will be in O'Fallon Park.

Please do not use the weekend as an excuse to forget to eat clean. You should also check out myvemma.com/shawnta web site so that you can check out the multi-vitamin that Ms. Ellery presented to us. Our food doesn't always provide us with the vitamins and minerals we need; therefore, the vitamin acts as a supplement. Check it out and give either the Verve Energy drink or the liquid vitamin a try.



1, 2, 3...we are a team...this is our workout...we won't whine or pout...

  1. HOOORAAAHHH! I had an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC WEEK!!! I was excited to visit my BFF and encounter the things she had going on. Shawnta had spoken so highly of her campers consistently and repeatedly and you all lived up to every word… even the whiners . All of you are great and outstanding individuals, who worked hard and pushed EVERY day this week. You just didn’t give ‘em one… YOU GAVE IT YOUR ALL… and how can you not when you have Miss Fitness, Shawnta pushing you… encouraging… motivating you to not give up but to give it your all. Truly Shawnta is an awesome trainer, coach, listener and friend… that’s why I call her my friend! I pray you all reap the benefits of her knowledge, her support and her care. Remember when you are rolling out of bed, that Shawnta rolled out of bed about 30 minutes prior and she is getting ready to meet YOU… that she is concerned about YOU and is ready to help YOU reach your fitness goal. I believe EACH one of you are ready to meet that goal… You’ve made the decision. You’re making the necessary changes. There’s nothing left to do but consistently choose to BE THE BEST ME I CAN BE! It was great to meet all of you; I look forward to seeing you all when I return!
    ...until next time
