Why Wake Early for Fitness?

As most of you know, Ladies Gun Club is held at 7 am three days a week, and when people hear what time it's held at, the first question they ask is usually, "Why so early?"

We all have our own reasons for getting up and getting going at different times, but some of us are inclined more toward the early morning than others. Before you sell yourself short and say, "But I'm not a morning person..." I assure you that I'm not naturally a morning person either, and a lot of the time, choosing to be feels totally counter-intuitive, but the benefits of working out early in the morning greatly outweigh the initial discomfort of rolling out of bed before I'm ready.

My reasons for working out early:
1. I like working out early because by the time I finish at 8 am, I still have time to enjoy a relaxing morning before beginning my work day. If it weren't for boot camp, I might just start making coffee at 8 or 9 and then next thing you know, it's time to get ready for work
2. I start the day with self care. Beginning the day by doing something really healthy and good for you that doesn't involve thinking about taking care of anybody else really sets a positive tone for the rest of the day. We all need a little 'me' time, but with kids and bosses and pets, it's difficult to prioritize without a goal that gives you a little accountability. Signing up and committing to something like boot camp definitely provides the accountability I need
3. No matter what I'm in the mood to eat, I know that I've jumpstarted my metabolism and that anything I eat will be put to better use than if I was just sitting around. You burn more calories and for longer after a workout with the LGC.

Boxing Scene's #5 reason for working out early is:
If you exercise at about the same time every morning, and ideally wake-up at about the same  time on a regular basis, your body's endocrine system and circadian rhythms adjust to that. Physiologically, some wonderful things begin to happen; A couple of hours *before* you awaken, your body begins to prepare for waking and exercise because it "knows" it's about to happen. Why? Because it "knows" you do the same thing just about everyday. You benefit from that in several ways

 TESTIMONIAL:
Ladies Gun Club is great because it creates easy to manage goals and accountability. Each boot camp is a month long with a week off in between and that works great for me because I am able to set a realistic and achievable goal for myself: work out 3 times a week at 7 am for 4 weeks. That's only 12 work outs. After a few weeks like this, I start to automatically wake up early and even if it's not a 'work out' morning, I have begun to think about the extra time I have before work as an opportunity to relax, spend time with the dog, or catch up on some reading--all things that make me happier and healthier.

Referral Incentives!

Since Ladies Gun Club began last year, we have seen it grown so much, and it has all been because of your commitment to your own fitness, and willingness to spread the word. That being said, we would love to see it grow some more, so as a 'Thank you' to all of you who have talked about bootcamp, and to encourage you to continue to do so, we have created a new incentive program...

1 for 1: Get one friend to sign up for a bootcamp, and get one class free
2 for 2: Get two friends to sign up for a bootcamp, and get two classes free
3 for 3: Get a third friend to sign up, and get not only two bootcamps classes for free, but an additional, private, hour long personal training session with Teah (valued at $50/hr)! This is a great opportunity to really focus on problem areas and develop a plan of action for continued fitness and progress.

Bittersweet

It's always a little bittersweet to come up on the end of a bootcamp series after a month of hard work and intentional fitness with an amazing group of ladies, but once again, we're nearing the end. This group has been particularly amazing, because they have shown up time and time again despite bad weather reports and a particularly wet Asheville. Part of the time this month we couldn't even use our usual Carrier Park location because the river had completely flooded it!

Looks like the sun is coming out just in time for our next Ladies Gun Club, which begins Monday, July 29 and runs through the month of August. If you're worried about getting off track between now and then, or just want to check it out without committing, check us out NEXT Wednesday, July 24, at Splashville in Pack Square Park downtown. Dudes, even though it's 'Ladies Gun Club,' we're making it guy friendly for August, so come on out and give it a try next week.

Why are we going Co-ed? Don't worry ladies! For those of you who really appreciate the ladies-only atmosphere, it's going to be coming back; we just want guys to have a chance to try it out so we can start working on a co-ed class.

If you plan on bringing a friend for the August series, or you're a new bootcamper, stay tuned because we'll be posting incentives for new folks as well as tried-and-true bootcampers on the blog!
