Dear Shannon,
We have a lot to celebrate this month! Mothers, Boot Camp's new office, our Open House tomorrow, the return of Running Boot Camp, Boot Camp 5K in June to support Children with Cancer, and Caroline's knee healing up nicely. YAY!
This is the last month of spring. Have you decided on your summer plans? How about a goal for this summer? How will you be motivating yourself?
Weather is changing and so are the bodies at Long Beach Boot Camp - as was indicated by the significant number of small t-shirts handed out these past few camps. You are all shrinking!!! We continue to see our boot campers thriving - gaining confidence and losing weight.
As you remember to call your mother on May 9th, continue to remind yourself of your personal goals. Focus every morning on your plans for the day. Write them down and carry them with you. Make them a reality. Who will you become? Make us (and your mom) proud ...better yet, do it for YOU!

Sharing Success
By a Boot Camper from Caroline's 7pm Co-Ed class.
...There are a few things that I learned make a difference for me to lose weight...
- Yes, journaling is a big deal! I committed to 100% not just the first part of the day.
- I made my lunch everyday and measured everything!!!
- I do better with whole grains that are NOT bread.
- I really tried to break the mental barrier that exercise is hard. Blah blah blah... I just gotta DO it and stay POSITIVE while I'm at it!
I really want to thank you and Caroline because you guys are like my positive reinforcement. You believed in me before I believed in myself. Sometimes that's exactly what I need to get going. Also I now know how much of an impact my mental attitude has on my weight loss.
So really I love you guys and I hope that you can see me reach my goal weight and celebrate with me.

Boot Camp Blog
By Caroline Fiegen
This Could Be The Start of Something New (exerpt)
 Boot Camp for men and women! I know you all know this... but I wanted to remind you of the fact that boot camp is for all. We have ages 18-73. Men and women. Ability to run or not. Pregnant or not. Religious or not. Prior knowledge of fitness, or not. We have them all in classes and that's just how we want to keep it. With this wide arrangement of people, we continue to learn from each other. Not just fitness wise, but about each other as people.

The decrease in physical activity that often takes place as you age, creates decreased flexibility, strength and overall body balance.

Stress Management
By Zarzana Chiropractic
When Fear Goes Too Far
Phobias - it seems as though everyone, especially women, has at least one. How about you?
Phobias are intense, irrational fears about things such as snakes, heights, germs, spiders, flying, enclosed places and public speaking. Many people can deal with their phobias as long as they can avoid the object of their fear. This might be the case, for example with those who have a fear of snakes or confined spaces. For others, their phobias are so severe that they are unable to live normal lives.
There are 3 categories of phobias:
