I’m out of town again today attending a 2-day boot camp workout program design workshop!  B.J. Gaddour, Janell, myself and about a half-dozen other boot camp owners from around the country are going to be tearing it up for 2 days. Yeah, I’m gonna sore ;-b

That being said, I’ve got something different for today’s FREE Boot Camp Workout Video of the Week.

OK, so what’s with the title of this blog post?

Well, I’m combining two posts in one.  Since it’s Friday, I’ve got to post the Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp FREE Workout Video of the Week.  But, I’ve also got an awesome healthy pizza recipe for you.

Growing up on Long Island, Friday night was always pizza night.  Mmm, it was glorious.  Nothing beats NY pizza, and Marios in Syosset was (and still is) famous for having amazing pizza.  Of course, if you’re trying to lose weight, most pizza, especially the chain resteraunt crap, doesn’t have much of a place in your meal plan.  Until now…

My buddy Jayson Hunter has a delicious and waistline friendly pizza in his e-book 197 Healthy and Delicious Recipes that’s on sale right now for ONLY $4.95.  I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it!

Since, I’ve got your mouth watering, I’ll give you a minute to go get your copy of Jayson’s recipe book (CLICK HERE), and then we can jump into today’s Fat Burning Boot Camp Workout Video of the Week.

Our This mouthwatering “Healthy Chicken Pizza” is just ONE of the 197 Healthy and Delicious Recipes my partners over at Prograde Nutrition have compiled.

Our Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp Friday format is a 50:10 5-exercise circuit training workout powered by Workout Muse: Boot Camp Dynamite.  This high-intensity interval training (HIIT) format is awesome for muscular endurance, as well as cardiovascular endurance since we’re basically performing resistance training exercises for 20+ minutes almost non-stop.  It burns a ton of calories and really gets your metabolism reved up for the weekend – maybe you even enough to have an extra slice of pizza

Exercise 1:  Braced Core Squats

Exercise 2:  Overhead Triceps Extensions

Exercise 3:  Alternating Cross-under Lunges

Exercise 4:  High Pulls

Exercise 5:  Alternating Lying Leg Extensions

Finisher:  Squat-to-Press

Now, GET AFTER IT!

It’s a gloomy, rainy, MN Friday

BUT…

Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp ALWAYS LIFTS MY SPIRITS!!!

Every week my boot camper friends bring the thunder – no pun intended today.  I swear they motivate me as much, if not more than, I think I motivate them.  It’s truly my pleasure to coach them.

See them kicking butt once again with our Workout Video of the Week.  It’s another Freaky Friday 50:10 5-exercise circuit training workout powered by Workout Muse: Boot Camp Dynamite.

Exercise 1:  Deadlifts

Exercise 2:  Front Raises

Exercise 3:  Alternating Forward Lunges

Exercise 4:  Reverse Flys

Exercise 5:  Prone Knee-in

Finisher:  Swings

We always do a total body resistance training circuit, but today we put a little extra love towards the shoulders with the raises and the flys, and then having to hold the body up for the prone knee-in.

Summer is just around the corner and we want to make sure our shoulders and arms are looking sexy!

Now, GET AFTER IT!

For today’s post, I thought I’d share some exceprts from Dr. Ben’s (Eniva’s Vice Chairman & Chief Medical Officer) March newsletter.  It’s perfect timing actually, since today is kind of a gloomy gray MN day…imagine that. ;-b

But, Spring is just around the corner!!  So, let’s talk about Vitamin D: “The Sunshine Vitamin.”

Vitamin D is often referred to as “The Sunshine Vitamin” because your body produces it in response to being exposed to sunlight.  You also know Vitamin D is important for helping promote healthy bones and teeth in the body through facilitating calcium absorption.  What you may not know is Vitamin D is critical to regulating over 2000 genes in the body involved in multiple areas of health.  Vitamin D plays a critical role in supporting a healthy heart, healthy cellular replication, a healthy immune system, a healthy mood and mental health [giving it another nickname, "The Feel Good Vitamin"], comfort within muscles, and even promoting healthy blood sugar levels – to name just a few!

So, what makes Vitamin D so unique in how it works?

It’s Janell’s 28th Birthday!!

As many of you know, Janell is my girlfriend, best friend, confidant and major supporter.  It’s very fitting that this week I’m talking about inspirational figures in my life.  Janell is major inspiration to me in so many ways.  I can’t even begin to describe the support, love and faith she has given me over the past couple years, especially this last year as I completely changed courses in my life and started my boot camp programs and website.

Janell is one of the strongest people I’ve ever met.  She’s been through a lot in just a few short years; I’ve dished out quite a bit of stress for her myself :-b.  But, through all of it, she always takes the high road and knows that in the end everything will work itself out.  I think it’s that positivity and outlook on life that makes it so for her; kind of like the Law of Attraction we talked about in yesterday’s post.

For those of you who don’t know, Janell and I used to work together at Life Time Fitness.  That’s how we met.  She was one of my top trainers and eventually became my Lead Assistant Department Head – basically, she was my right hand.  She kept things running at the top notch, record setting level that the we became accustomed to when I was traveling and performing my other roles for the company.  We made one hell of a team along with my other assistants and program leads (thanks Nick, Liz, Phil, Derk and all the other previous assistants that were eventually promoted).  Who knew that our friendship, trust and faith in each other would eventually blossom into the amazing relationship we have today?  We certainly didn’t.  In fact, we still joke about how there was zero attraction between us for the first couple years we knew each other.  LOL.

Anyway, please join me in wishing her a very happy birthday by posting a comment below.  And, it also happens to be one of my Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp member’s birthday as well.  Happy birthday Cassie!

In honor of Janell’s birthday, I thought it would be fun to run a special today.

Since Janell is 28 years old today, I’m giving a 28% discount on our regular boot camp prices when you enlist for an 8-month program.

That’s a KILLER DISCOUNT on my Look Great at the Lake Boot Camp and Online Video Boot Camp programs!

If you’d like to take advantage of one of these awesome deals just shoot me an email at justin@justinyule.com and I’ll make it happen for you.

Once again, happy birthday to my inspiration and the true love of my life – Janell.
