Hey everyone! My recipe of the week has turned into recipe of the month lately. I am sorry I have not been posting recipes more regularly. I am going be better about it this summer though, I promise!

With the temperature outside heating up, Dave and I have been grilling a lot more. I found this recipe in one of my cookbooks the other day and ever since we tried it we have been hooked! It seems to be on our menu once a week now. Give it a try with some steamed basmati rice and a simple green salad and you soon you will be a believer too! Because let's face it...plain grilled chicken get's boring after a while.

Ingredients:

6 medium chicken breast filets (you can do less like Dave and I do but then you will just have extra spice mix ready for the next time you want to make this delicious chicken!)

1/3 cup butter (less if you are only doing a few chicken breasts)

1tsp garlic powder

2tsp onion powder

2tsp cayenne pepper(less if you can't handle the heat!)

2tsp paprika

1/4tsp ground cumin

1tsp dried thyme

1 and 1/2tsp each salt and ground black pepper

We have several members, or spouses of members that work at a Children's hospital. We also have some members who have been impacted directly by the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation.

Here is more information on the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation and Children's Miracle Network.

Be sure to visit the CHCF website and learn more about how we will help the Children's Hospital Colorado Foundation.

You know how much I like goals!

We did a great job last month raising $450.  This month I'm giving us a goal of $1000. In fact Katie and I are already wearing our bracelets! So we now only need $980.

It is finally here!

Fit Soldiers KidFit Camp is the much anticipated and long overdue program for your kids. It will begin this summer!

You all know the impact our program is having on your lives in countless areas including your physical, mental, and emotional health. For many of you this has already begun to trickle down to your family.

I get especially excited when your kids begin to play "Mr. Dave" in our kids room and at home. You have told us some awesome stories such as your kids designing a boot camp in your backyard and doing their child like copy cat of jumping jacks, pushups, and other exercises.

There is no doubt that your children will be impacted for the rest of their lives by the major lifestyle changes you have made for you and your families.

We have been slaving away doing research and going through training on the cutting edge of youth fitness. We have absorbed some valuable feedback from you and based on that feedback we have designed a program like no other that will have a direct and lasting impact on your children.

You don't expect your kids to pay the mortgage, put food on the table, or worry about adult 'stuff' so why would you expect us to train them like adults? That's why we have a program full of endless fun designed specifically for kids!

Our program is perfect for both athletic and non-athletic children. We will give progressions and regressions for exercises so that all ages and athletic abilities can participate. So what should you expect from our KidFit Camps?

Your kids will:

• Have fun interacting with other kids their age
• Learn teamwork and sportsmanship
• Develop a foundation for athletic movement patterns such as squatting, bending, pushing, pulling, and twisting
• Develop speed, agility, quickness, strength, and power
• Increase mobility, range of motion, and flexibility
• Lose weight
• Develop healthy habits
• And Much More...

“FINALLY!  A Fitness Program That Combines the Social Support and Cost Effective Structure of a Boot Camp With the Individualization and Extra Coaching That Personal Training Provides!!”

Introducing:
Semi-Private Personal Training

From the desk of: David Mura
Owner of Fit Soldier Fitness Revolution
FSFR Semi-Private Training

Dear Fit Soldier Fitness Revolution Family and Friends,

Personal Training in the Westminster, Thornton, Northglenn Area Will NEVER be the Same Again!

YES!  That is a very bold statement, and I’m more than prepared to back it up.

Until now, personal training programs in the North Denver area have been built on a one-on-one personal training model.  In other words, one personal trainer works with one client…typically for a half hour to an hour personal training session.

I’m here to tell you that model, for the most part, is stale and OBSOLETE!

One-on-One Personal training is boring…

One-on-One Personal training lacks energy…

AND, one-on-one personal training is missing one of the most important factors for weight loss success… SOCIAL SUPPORT.

Now, on the flip side, One-on-One Personal Training DOES PROVIDE very individualized programming and a very detailed level of coaching.  Hold that thought…

Right now, boot camps are all the rage in the fitness industry, and rightfully so.  Heck, I know because I run the best boot camp in the North Metro area. 

Boot Camps, when done right, are extremely efficient and incredibly effective for weight loss and fitness.  Plus, they’re just WAY MORE FUN than training alone.

The only downside I see with boot camps is the loss of one-on-one individual attention and highly customized training that Personal Training provides.  Up until now, it’s pretty much been one or the other, but that’s all about to change thanks to…

Semi-Private Personal Training at
Fit Soldiers Fitness Revolution

Semi-Private Training is fun…YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST!

Semi-Private Training is full of energy…YOU WILL FEEL ALIVE!

Semi-Private Training provides social support…YOU WILL MAKE GREAT FRIENDS!

Most importantly…SEMI-PRIVATE TRAINING WORKS!

So What Does Semi-Private Training Look Like!?!

10 minutes of Tissue Quality work to eliminate nagging aches, pains, and muscle imbalances.

10 minutes of Corrective Exercises to fix old injuries and get you performing the “game of life” at your very best.

5 minute Dynamic Warm-up using functional exercises that will get you moving like a kid again.

Dinner doesn't always have to involve so much time and

effort. Last night I wanted to make something simple, fast,

and yet delicious...and I did! Don't over complicate your

meal planning. Try using items that are often in your

refrigerator, on your counter, or in your spice rack.

Talk about pulling a 180 when it comes to turning your life around! Jacquie did just that. The first time we met she was walking with a cane and probably only giving us a try as a last ditch effort. She certainly didn't expect the results she has gotten.

From a cane walking, cigarette smoking, next to nothing fitness level, Jacquie is now a snowshoe fanatic, has done numerous 5K's and 10K's, and nearly summited her first 14er this past summer.

Jacquie has completely changed her fitness outlook and now knows that she is capable of much bigger and better things!

Keep it up Jacquie! Welcome to the Fit Soldiers Finest!

One thing successful people understand is that just as the weight and lack of fitness didn't come over night, the same is true for reclaiming a strong and lean body.

Danielle is always pressing on. She is consistent with her workouts, nutrition, and living a fit and healthy lifestyle. She seeks out new adventures including the Tour DaVita a 265 mile bike ride!

Amazing work Danielle! Welcome to the Fit Soldier Finest!

The Motivated, Dedicated, and Consistent Kathy Thomas!

Here are just a few examples of the sacrifices and adjustments it takes to make results happen.

Kathy has come to class on her birthday in a snow storm while her daughter was begging her to come home and have cake.

She has gone from 8oz. of water a day to "actually thirsty and wanting to drink water".

The humble Kathy has come a long way and knows that there will need to be sacrifices in order to get stronger, leaner, and better each day!

Amazing job Kathy! Welcome to the Fit Soldiers Finest!

Hey Fit Soldiers,

Katie and I just whipped this one up last night. It's one of our go-to recipes for a simple meal and quick and easy clean up.  It just takes time to bake the sweet potato if you're going the conventional route. You can also throw them in the microwave if you prefer!

Hey Fit Soldiers, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Thank you, Thank YOU!  I am thankful to be your go to guide to the best shape of your life! I don't take that lightly and I am always on the quest for the most up to date progressive fitness information and techniques around.

Thank You!

I've got your Thanksgiving Turkey Burner workout here to check out and crank along to.  Fit it baby in early and often and get some serious calorie burn before your Turkey day meal.

Tomorrow be sure to sign up for our BLACK Friday 'Fit NOT Fat for the Holidays Promotion'  If your already a member re-post it on facebook and forward it on to your friends who are talking about fitness and not doing.

Typically I like to post healthy recipes on Wednesday but this week with Thanksgiving tomorrow I will change pace a little! I want to give you some tips on how to avoid some major catastrophic weight gain this holiday season. The concepts are simple but the temptations are large. A little self control will go a long way day-to-day and especially on the the big holidays and parties.
