TUESDAY MORNING YOU ARE THE STAR!

7/29/2013

Come to the newly minted 7:00 AM class on Tuesday to experience "Star Treatment".  Any guesses as to what the star treatment will be?!

Running for the Bling!

7/25/2013

 
Picture
I want to extend a huge congratulations to one of my regular FitCampers for running his first road race and completely owning it!  Garret Gee rocked a solid 8:18 pace per mile at the Queens 10K race this past weekend, especially impressive for someone who used to consider himself a "non-runner". In two months time, a combination of weekend FitCamp sessions, individual plyometric training, clean eating (mostly), and approximately two ~six-mile runs a week has scored Garret a brag-worthy performance.  When asked why he did it, Garret replied "I just wanted the BLING!"  Unfortunately this year, NYRR opted to give out tech shirts instead of medals.  I guess Garret will have to run another race! 

An inspiring example of a little commitment going a long way!

Endless V-Up Crunches

A FitCamper had way to much time and created this animated GIF of endless V-up crunches out of pictures I took yesterday.  I didn't catch a picture of her fully extended but her form was dead on in person!  She's definitely having more success than this chubby little bear.

New Class, New Time!

7/8/2013

 
Picture
Starting tomorrow, July 9th we are introducing a 7:00 AM class in Central Park.  It's one fewer excuse to miss fitness camp!  Since we can't all squeeze in a good burn everyday, classes are tailored to those who attend.  Next time you're in class, feel free to put in a special request!

Book now for the 7:00 am class and see you in the park tomorrow! We meet at the water fountain in front of Ferrara Cafe (closest to Central Park South).

P.S. Evening classes are coming!


Some announcements then... GO FORTH and BBQ!!

Pun intended... Ruh ROH KAY!!
 SEE THE FITCAMP SCHEDULE CHANGES BELOW

  1. TONIGHT'S CLASS IN BROOKLYN IS CANCELLED.  I didn't see that anyone had signed up and you should really be on your way to enjoying the holiday!
  2. Fourth of July FitCamp is posted on the schedule for those of you hanging around the city for the holiday.  Class starts at 10 AM!!  Don't be late. We will be targeting a high-calorie burn so you can indulge in some OM-NOM-NOM later in the day.
  3. Friday (July 5th) FitCamp will start at 9:00 AM instead of 6:30 AM.  (Who wants to feel their belly shake with all that fourth of July food at 6:30 AM anyway?)


Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the boot camp.  Here are some of the comments. 


- "It was so intense :-( but I'm so out of shape and I was able to handle some of it. I will be back!"
- "Tough workout but worth it."
- "Love it & exceeded my expectations. Can't wait for next class"
- "Simply died but in the best way possible. I know I will be feeling it in the morning because I feel it now. The instructor is great and does not cut you any slack...but boot camp isn't supposed to. Looking forward to my next class, I will definitely be ready for the spartan race, without a doubt."

- "Very good workout., and I like Roy. Wish the schedule was a little more robust (only 2 evening classes a week)"
 You have been heard!  I will be adding classes!  See the additional Thursday evening class.  Wednesday evening Fitcamp may be moved to Central Park as well.  

July 4th CLASS.  Happy BIRTHDAY, 'MERICA!

Roy Alexander Fitness- helping everyday Americans squeeze into festive 'MERICA shorts!
 An extra class will be held this Thursday at 10:00 AM. We meet at 63rd and Central Park West. This will be a high fat-burning class so you can enjoy your July fourth BBQ guilt-free!

Happy Mid-Year! Gut Check Time!

7/1/2013

 
Picture
The boisterous  revelers who permeated Times Square at the turn of 2013, are either in your rear-view mirror or a harbinger of 2014 because today we are at the half-way point, 6 months into the year!

And it's time for a gut check.  Seriously.  Take a look at your abs. They are a good general indicator of your health.  No, you do not need a six pack to say you have arrived.  
  • If you are on point, congratulations! Your goal is to STAY focused and on point.
  • If you are not happy, then this is your moment to take control and do something about it so that your resolution does not become a sad, discarded statistic.

Sit down and write out your new, achievable mid-year resolution. Then write down how you are going to get to mountaintop from where you stand now.  Start with small steps.
  1. Walk the stairs instead of the elevator.  
  2. Stay true to your goal by not giving into to peer pressure to have that dessert or drink.
  3. Recruit others to help you.
  4. Have someone help you set aside time to workout. ( that would be YOU!). Put it in your calendar like it's a meeting or a commitment. Because IT IS.  
  5. Sign up for a spin class, put your running shoes by the door, attend a boot camp, ...

The bottom-line is to make progress.  Don't have the same conversation you had with yourself in 2014 that you had on the eve of 2013.

Do something today!!
