Getting ready for September!

Well the last boot camp has come to an end in Rosenort. We worked hard in the boot camp sessions and felt amazing. Most of the fitness tests are done. There were some really good results and some that people thought would be better. The feed back after the fitness test I found very interesting. There were some women who had lost up to 5 inches , but still felt that the results should be more because it wasn't were they wanted to lose the 5 inches. Fair enough, I understand that. I totally understand that because I have been there with the same mind set. I think the best thing in that situation is to take a deep breath and keep going. 6 weeks really is not that much time. This also might be a good time to look at more of your nutrition. And perhaps going to 3 days a week. Getting and keeping our body strong and health is work and more work than we want to put into it some times. But it will always pay off.
At least we all know that building muscle and burn fat off all our muscles will not make us gain fat cells. We all have to agree on that. If we keep going and watch what we eat are bodies have no choice but to give in to our health ways.
Come on Moms! We have all had bigger hurdles to jump . Lets do it ! Lets get fit a health for our kids , husbands and families.

It was and is such a pleasure working out with all the women. I really do love helping out as much as I can.
I can't wait to see all of you back again.
The 90 day challenge will be unbelievable!!!
But if you can just make it for part of it that's great too.

See you Sept. 2nd to start off the last part of the year with a bang!

Why spending less on food isn't necessarily cheaper in the long run.

Summer is getting close to a end.....

I can not believe that Summer has passed us so fast. It's been great, filled with lots of hot weather and time with wonderful bootcamp buddies.
The Rosenort bootcamp is on the last week of the 6 weeks. The moms/women look absolutely amazing! In total the majority of the women have been doing the Tyson Method bootcamp for 12 weeks with only one week break in between. There is one mom that has been eating health, not dieting but choosing clean healthy food and working out in the bootcamp, as well as keeping very busy with three kids and a business, and has lost 30 pounds. She looks so strong and lean . This is just one of the many women I'm proud of in the boot camp.

Well the kids will be back in school and routine will start again, time for next boot camp in Rosenort.It will start Sept. 2nd. You'll be able the choose between a 3 day week or 2 day week. And it will run for 4 weeks. Let me know if your interested before it's to late.... I can't wait to start again.

See you Thursday:)

I made it back on!!

Hi everyone!!
I have so much to say over the last few weeks of boot camp in Rosenort and starting up boot camp in Stienbach.
We are on our 5th week in Rosenort and it is going really well. The women/moms are looking amazing, but still a bit shy of the camera. I did manage to take a few pictures to day, I hope to post them Thursday after I get the go ahead. There were lots of kids out today doing there own bootcamp. I was very impressed with there form. We felt like we were working out in fall weather today , but we made it through with leaps and bounds. It seamed to make it a bit easier than the almost 40c weather we were working out in last week. I don't think I've ever felt my eyes lids sweat before.
We've been working on our booty lift work outs to pilates and yoga , then tae bo to top it off. So much abs that we wouldn't feel a speeding bus hit us in our core. It's been great watching and helping and doing this boot camp with these hard working Canadian women killing it in all weather and conditions.

It Stienbach it's been great, but a bit harder of a start with it being August and families on holidays and in Summer mode. The moms that have showed up have been a complete pleasure to work out with and show the tyson method way. I'm really looking forward to see them tomorrow. Lets hope the weather is better for us.
The very first class was absolutely the hardest class I've done so far. It was insanely hot, but the girls made it through with smile and came back the second time loving it and wanting more. They were very sore and complete troopers.

Tami and I have got so many comments from husbands . It's so sweet to hearing the men/partners rave on about how happy they are with there fit wives, and what a difference it's made in their lives and their families lives.

Keep up the good work ladies! It's such a pleasure to see all of you the two days a week.

Keeping your child happy so you can have a great workout




As a new mom, one of the biggest hurdles to exercise is often finding the time. Between diaper changes, playtime and feedings, new moms are constantly on the go.
According to 2009 study published in the Journal of Women’s Health, the top two excuses new moms use for not getting to exercise are lack of time and issues with childcare. So what to do with the baby when there is a chance to squeeze in that workout?
The simple solution: Incorporate your baby into your workout. One easy way, especially with the return of warmer weather, is by taking baby along in the stroller as you get in some cardio. And there are plenty of ways to keep junior happy while you’re exercising. Here are some tips to keep your workout an enjoyable experience for all. 
INFANTS
  • Young babies cry to get their basic needs met. Make sure that your baby begins your workout well-fed, with a clean diaper, and dressed in layers that can be easily removed or added.
  • Position your baby close enough to see you. Interact with your infant while you are doing exercises -- for example, you can turn a jump squat into a jump squat-tickle.
  • If you’re heading outside to enjoy the weather, attach some favorite toys to your stroller that are within your baby’s reach. If your child is a pacifier fan, bring a few extras.
TODDLERS
  • Make sure that your toddler is comfortably dressed and has healthy snacks available.
  • Keep a special bag of toys and books that is only for your exercise time. Travel-size toys, cars, phones and musical toys are popular and are easily portable.
  • Encourage your toddler to count the number of pushups you do or to imitate you as you do some jumping jacks.

As with adults, there will be some days when your child wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. Just remind yourself that exercise will not only help you lose the baby weight, but by including your child, you’ll foster a lifetime of healthy habits. 



I thought this was a fantastic article and had to share it will all The Tyson Method mommies!

Half way there!

I absolutely LOVE this boot camp - I am really having a lot of fun, and working hard! It's so great that Lisa is doing this in Rosenort.....I'm just sorry that I didn't join the first one - I'd be so much further ahead :) I've been trying to lose those famous "last 10 lbs" for awhile now, and find it hard to get motivated some days - and this has been great to get me going. I am NOT a morning person, so this something that I work with to get ready to go in the morning, but I also find that I don't want to sleep in as much either. I am getting more energy, and feel stronger, and I'm not even done yet....I do find though that I am for sure hungrier, and need to make sure that I do make better choices in what I am eating. I don't really like that the scale is moving upwards a bit, and yet the clothes are definitely getting a bit looser though. I know that the scale is evil, but I have to keep tabs on what/where I am. Battling the bulge for years, I just know that does work and keep accountable!
Thanks Tami for a great program, and Lisa for keeping us going during the workouts - you amaze me :)

Boot Camp Success

I completed the 6-week, Tyson Method Challenge and had fantastic results! I did the before & after fit tests and measurements and was so glad that I did. I lost 5 1/2 inches and 11 lbs! Most of it came off the hips & thighs, and that is a good thing. I can see a lot more muscle than I used to. I'm back in what I consider my ideal weight range and feel fantastic. I can do 26 push-ups instead of 5. I've really improved my eating habits - including the nutritional program was a huge part of my success. I learned a lot about the quality and quantity of food I was eating.

I had so much fun and am so happy about how I feel that I'm on my way to becoming a trainer myself! It's going well and I hope to be ready to teach by fall.

I'm posting the before/after photos to show how much of a difference the program can make even when you're reasonably fit to begin with. I tried to keep the same pose although I would have rather shown off my "new" arms! The difference I feel in strength and confidence is a lot more dramatic than photos can show. It's not ALL about looks. Really.

411 The Tyson Method

I am training 6 new trainers in Canada and 2 new Trainers here in LA. I am sooo excited about how it is going. These ladies are going to be phenomenal trainers. They are each improving every week and I am just so proud of each of them. It is not an easy program. I have been certified 5 times I  altogether I think. The Tyson Method certification was developed from taking the best out of all these certifications plus years of experience from both myself as well as my Husband. We don't just work on form and training technique and exercises. We work on how to inspire, to lift others up, how to motivate and help our clients achieve results not only physically but spiritually and mentally as well. I am loving training these amazing women more than i could have ever known.


I am excited about the Nutritional Reboot system we are getting ready for fall. 
You ladies are going to love it!
And the supplement line is great, i am using the energy drinks before class and I really notice a difference. 


I am working on the fall schedule. We are planning to offer a lot more bootcamps here in LA. We will have bootcamps mon-sat mornings at Playa Vista and add in 2 evening bootcamps as well. I am adding another bootcmap in Palisades as well and  3 in south bay. I would love to add in a pregnancy class as well, if any one knows any pregnant women looking to workout and connect let me know.



I will be taking the last 2 weeks of Aug off of teaching bootcamps. I have never done this before. But my body needs the break. I will use this time to focus on starting the new bootcamps here in LA and in Canada.

On a personal note, i decided to home school my Kaylani, so I am also using this time to prepare for this new exciting endeavor. I am loving being a mommy more each day, I am blessed to be able to spend so much time with my kids. I know this time is short so I am relishing every second of it.

I am considering doing a small fitness competition and barbeque for my LA mommies this fall.
If I can get enough of you to commit, i think it would be a blast! 
We all now Kathy's in! 
LOL


So thats what's new with The Tyson Method.
