As I look back on the past 2 1/2 years of running my fitness boot camp there are many things my campers have taught me. Here are a few of them.
1. If you don’t set limitations for them they won’t have any.
2. They are capable of handling any challenge I throw at them (see #1).
3. Consistency, above all else, is the key to results.
4. For protein intake, 0.7 grams per pound of bodyweight seems to be the key point for maintaining muscle and strength while on a calorie restricted diet.
5. If they like you and trust you they’ll give anything a try…at least once.
6. The competitive drive that comes from a group atmosphere brings out the best in them.
7. Programs don’t need to be super scientific (as I once believed) in order to be effective.
8. Everybody is rooting for everybody else.
