We're starting outdoor fitness boot camps!

I have to tell you, I can't remember the last time that something had us this excited. Our Totally Fit Boot Camp is something we have wanted to bring to the Lehigh Valley area for some time and it is finally happening!

Have you ever seen photos of a boot camp or read articles about this type of challenging workout and thought, 'man, I wish I had someone pushing me like that'? I know I have. Well, starting Septmenber 10th, everyone in our area will have that opportunity and we are psyched about it.

In this business you learn things from people. And one of the many things I have learned is that the majority of people want to exercise and feel better, they just have a hard time either getting started or staying motivated. Does this sound familiar? It's ok, you are not alone. One of the reasons we are so excited about these boot camps is that this is another way to motivate people to get moving and have fun and feel better. That is always what is at the core of what we strive to do in our gym and our other endeavors.

I hope that you will take a moment to check out the site www.totallyfitbootcamp.com This could be just the thing you are looking for.

So, it's McDonalds fault?

Last week there was BIG news that McDonalds had perfected marketing to children as young as 4 years old. These kids were attracted to the McDonalds packaging and chose it over the same food in plain packaging. This is news? Not to me, it isn't. And it also isn't something to get so darn upset over as many people have.

Four year olds are not responsible for feeding themselves, they don't do the food shopping and they certainly don't grab the keys and head over to McDonalds. Last week was a perfect example of misplaced blame and irrational fear. There were groups of concerned citizens who wanted to ban together to 'do something' about McDonalds. How can this possibly be?

McDonalds is doing what every successful business strives to do, they are hitting their marketing target. Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing I would ever eat at McDonalds. I don't go there. And it is that simple, don't go there. Don't act like this corporation is coming to your house and kidnapping your child and making them eat their food. It is the responsibility of the parents and no one else when it comes to what children eat.

On a side note, if it were not for television commercials and being taken to McDonalds than none of these children would have had the reaction they did. Who shall we blame for that?
