It’s too early…it’s too hot…it’s too tough…everyone is advanced…There are 101 excuses on why NOT to go to boot camp, so I thought I would give you one of why you should: It works! Although I am a boot camp drop out, when I was enrolled, I lost about five pounds in a month and ran around a ten minute mile.

Hiiiiiiiiiii Yaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

When most people picture karate, movies such as the Karate Kid and the Last Dragon, or anything with Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan in it, come to mind. The flicks are filled with chopping, kicking, and quick blows that leave the bad guy wheezing on the ground. While watching, (well, Kung Fu Panda that is….we do monitor their TV intake…geesh) my nephews jump off couches, fly into the air, and shout hiiiii yaaa as they beat up their opponent (me!) So I asked them if they wanted to take a real karate class and surprisingly they said no.

H20 Ya!

Here is a study that is pretty straight forward...more water in your diet = better diet.

Fighting Attrition by Nutrition

Submitted by Greg on Tue, 2009-10-13 10:02

This weeks segment of GIS Get In Shape will focus on nutrition. Yum, I mean, fun, I mean wait...is it either of those? We will be talking to some of our coworkers here at GIS to see what they are doing to battle their weaknesses and hone their strengths when it comes to food. What's your weakness? I am guessing you have some things in common with myself and the wonderful people I work with here at GIS. So be sure to check it out on Monday after News 27, and if you miss it, you can check it out here on getinshape.gis.ky.
