1.) A greater calorie burn during your workout and for up to 24-48 hours after your workout to accelerate fat loss.

2.) Activating more/new muscle fibers thus stimulating new muscle growth which further elevates metabolism.

3.) Increased performance- The better you get at performing a movement pattern in an unstable environment, the better you will perform that same movement pattern in a stable environment. For example, getting really good at doing medicine ball push-ups will make regular floor push-ups seem like a walk in the park!

4.) A decrease risk of overuse injuries since we are always changing the movements and muscles used.

As you know this weekend is a Holiday weekend and I am sure most of you have parties to go to. And I thought you could use some advice on how to tackle the weekend.
Step #1: Nutrition Booklet Refresher. If you haven't looked at your booklet lately, pull it out and start reading. Make sure you understand the plan and how the game is played.
Step #2: Eat a light meal (low calories) just before your party, especially if you know there won't be good food there. This will avoid you to show up starving and gorging on the wrong kind of food.
Step #3: Watch the drinking (as in real drinks). Remember, drinking impairs your judgment. Eating under the influence is drunk eating, which means that you are very likely to eat the WRONG food and feel super guilty the next day.
Step #4: Stay active. No rules there, just keep moving!
Step #5: Show up at fitness boot camp on Monday. It would really suck to be bad over the weekend and then miss fitness boot camp Monday - double whammy, but in a bad way!
PS: Monday, Labor Day, I will be having two workouts as usual (morning and evening). Damage control starts with showing up at boot camp!
