It was my wife that actually gave me the nudge to try something new. We were driving by Fit Soldiers one day and saw a bunch of folks outside working out. It looked like something totally different then what I was doing before. I was looking to try something new besides those big box gyms where you do the same thing over and over again. I was no longer motivated at those kinds of places and had stopped going. After my first Fit Soldiers workout of doing Spartacus, I was hooked!

Before I came to Fit Soldiers I thought I was in fairly good shape because I played soccer, hiked, and biked. But now I have a lot more stamina when playing soccer and I can run the whole game. Another thing I have noticed is that typical hikes used to tire me out and now a 5 mile hike is a breeze!

Since I started at Fit Soldiers I’ve dropped 10 pounds and 5% body fat. My fitness level has never been higher! I have more energy during the day, my stress level is a lot lower, and my core is solid. Also having great personal trainers has helped me work on my form, which has made my workouts a lot better.

Another thing that has changed since coming here is my nutrition. Dave did a grocery store tour that made me more aware of what is actually in food. Now I check the food labels and try to stay away

from fast food places. I’m eating more fruits, vegetables, and also eating at home more. I buy food that is good for me instead of ice cream and cookies.

My two favorite things about Fit Soldiers are the trainers and the people who are there. Everyone is in an upbeat mood and encourages each other to get better. I like the variety of exercises we do too. We focus on all the different parts of the body each workout. You never know what to expect when you walk through the doors!

Hello Fit Soldiers Family!

May is kicking off our Revolution for a Cause charity drive.

For the month of May we will be recognizing and supporting the Denver Rescue Mission.

If you are not familiar with the DRM (those are also my initials!) then you might certainly be familiar with their Lawrence St. sign downtown, a cross that reads "Jesus Saves". Although that is the most well known of their shelters it is certainly not the only one they have, nor is it all they do.

The DRM meets people at their physical and spiritual points of need, with the goal of returning them to society as productive, self-sufficient citizens. They provide multiple shelters and programs and no one is denied services because of gender, race, color, creed, national origin, religion, age, handicap, political affiliation, sex, sexual orientation, or marital, parental or military status.

Check out this story that is right up our fitness alley!

Finally they gave us a habit that I’m already pretty good at!! :) They asked us to eat lean protein with each meal. Maybe it’s because Dave has ingrained it in me, and because I’ve heard him tell all of our clients that you need to have a balance of proteins, carbs, and healthy fats at every meal and snack, but honestly I didn’t find this habit to be too hard.

For breakfast, lunch, and dinner this comes very naturally to me. It’s the snacks that I have to be a little more intentional about making sure I’m doing this.

For instance it would be easy for me to grab a piece of fruit, granola bar, some crackers, or a handful of pretzel thins for a snack, but then I would only be getting carbohydrates, which means I would more than likely be starving again in 20minutes. So what I have been trying to do is add a lean protein (which often covers the healthy fat as well) with my traditionally carb heavy snacks. My favorites are cottage cheese, fage plain greek yogurt, string cheese, and hard boiled eggs.

Precision Nutrition gave us the following list of their recommendations:

• Lean meat such as beef, pork, wild game
• Poultry such as chicken or turkey
• Fish & seafood such as shrimp or scallops
• Eggs & egg whites
• Cottage cheese or strained plain Greek yogurt (such as Fage)
• Protein powder such as whey, egg, vegetarian blends, etc.
• Cooked lentils or beans
• Tempeh or tofu
• Veggie burger

Another thing they mentioned is that while plant sources(aka veggies) do contain some protein they are not as protein dense, meaning they don’t have as much protein per volume as animal foods such as beef, chicken, or fish. So you would have to eat a lot more of them to get enough protein, which is why they are not on their recommended list of protein sources.

Today make it a point to get lean protein in with every meal and snack that you eat. Then do it again the next day and the day after that. Before you know it, just like me, you may find yourself getting pretty good at this one!

Post a comment and let us know how your healthy eating habits are coming along!

Time is goes faster than we ever imagined. Especially when eating. Katie's seemingly simple second habit was well, not so simple.

You would think there is a food famine in our country at the rate we shovel down our food.

Read on and see what Katie has to say and some important health reasons to eat slowly.

“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!
