The Trainer and The Client

Grant murdered me this morning. It’s not as if I had some new year’s resolution to kick my ass — that’s just ongoing. He must have been inspired by other clients with renewed intentions…That, or it’s just time to kick it up a notch as we’re already three weeks into my latest mission — arms […]

It’s been one week since I began my latest challenge — 90 days to Arms and Abs that I’m proud of — so we’re due a quick check-in. And the word is: I’m hurting! As I’ve been eating primal/paleo for the most part I’ve only had to make some tweaks there — more strict on […]

You gotta have a challenge. Here’s mine — Arms and Abs. Yes, they are there, hidden somewhere and I will find them. I’m setting a three-month goal to get some guns and shed some flab to expose some abs! (Excuse the cheesiness, I’m trying hard to inspire myself here!) It’s been a successful year, working […]

Eating primal is often challenging in a world of ‘comfort’ mac n’ cheese and the memory of my Mother’s potatoes and home-made gravy. Recently my strive to follow Mark Sisson’s 80/20 rule has wavered a tad closer to 50/50 and I’m definitely feeling the effects — damn holiday goodness! In an effort to take the boredom out […]

Loved seeing Grant’s Tough Mudder inspired workout featured in Washingtonian’s Well+Being blog! “In August, DC Event Junkie Lisa Byrne shared her health success story with Well+Being, and our curiosity was piqued after reading about her unusual workouts with personal trainer Grant Hill. While Grant, the founder of My Bootcamp, is a highly sought-after spinning class instructor at Life […]

Tough Mudder is not your average lame-ass mud run or spirit-crushing ‘endurance’ road race. Our 10-12 mile obstacle courses are designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. Forget finish times. Simply completing a Tough Mudder is a badge of honor. With the best obstacles and the most innovative courses, it’s […]

I have a confession: I fell off the wagon. It took me six days to admit it, and that only happened as I had to face the consequences and endure the ultimate repercussions…MyBootcamp session with Grant this morning. I’m writing this post as a means of self exploration as to how this happened — so trust […]

It’s been a fun journey working with Grant since April of this year. What started off as my journey to health and fitness has turned into a smashing success story and a budding blogging relationship! In addition to achieving all of my health and fitness goals within three months, I was elated to be honored […]

For those of us on the East Coast, Hurricane Irene is forefront on our minds. And for those of us who love to eat Primal it can pose a slight challenge should we lose power and the ability to fire up that grill. Here’s some items you should consider stocking in your pantry — God […]

“Everything we want is on the other side of fear” – Farrah Gray Earlier today I stumbled across this quote by Farrah Gray and it got me thinking about why we delay dealing with our looming health issues, or standby and watch ourselves gain weight without taking action. I’ve been there, I’ve done it. It […]
