Boot Camp Homecoming!

I just want to take a moment and say thank you to everyone who has welcomed me home to Tucson.  I've  enjoyed so many laughs, hugs, and conversations with friends.  I'm always so grateful for all of the wonderful people in my life.  

I had an opportunity to workout with Cooper Boot Camp today.  This is the program that changed my life.  I lost 40 lbs and gained incredible friends, confidence, and a new passion; fitness.  It was so much fun to be outside and huffing and puffing with a group.  I can't wait to make MY Boot Campers do 4 minutes of 1 leg deadlifts!

Alternating 1 leg deadlifts are a great exercise to focus on lower body while still engaging your core AND improving balance.  You can do them with no weights at all.  To advance the exercise add weights in one hand to increase the balance challenge. 

From standing position hinge at your waist bringing one leg off the ground behind you slowly and evenly.  Keep your core engaged with a neutral back. Allow your arms to move comfortably.  Complete 30 seconds on each leg, 4 reps!
