Calling all Challengers: STEP UP

4 Comments

It’s a beautiful Friday morning, and it’s going to be another beautiful Saturday in Vasona Park! Hopefully you all had a focused week and are taking steps in the right direction each day toward your new, healthy life.

Please note…..to put it gently:

IF YOU HAVE NOT SENT ME YOUR B4 PICTURES…YOU ARE NOT IN THE CHALLENGE!

As much fun as I have teaching you on Saturday mornings with my spectacular team, I am not doing this for my health. (I’m actually doing it for YOUR health…but that’s a different story)

I make the challenge as accessible as possible to anyone who wants to join in, but you gotta follow the very few rules I have installed, one of which is sending me your pics. (I only want them electronically, but if you are email/computer challenged, I’ll take a hard copy.)

Whew… glad we got that out of the way…

I just had one more thing to add.

Do you all realize that there are literally THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF PRIZES that will be given away to the winners of this challenge???

My question to you is…. are you even trying? Are you focused on making these 10-weeks the most life-changing weeks possible?

So far, I’ve only received ONE email from a very enthusiastic challenger determined to win. ONE! I’m wondering who else is taking this challenge seriously enough to actually change their life?

And if you’re not…my next question is… WHY NOT?

Aren’t you worth it? Don’t you deserve better health, more energy, and a body that is strong, lean, and does not fail you?

I want to see who’s planning on STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE, taking full accountability and responsibility to CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Jones Trail Hike Important INFO!

4 Comments

Attention Be Fit Bootcampers and 10-Week Challengers:

We are NOT having Bootcamp at Vasona Park this Saturday, March 5th!!!

Instead, we will be HIKING UP JONES TRAIL (or St Joseph’s Hill…to be exact).

Check out the video from January!


Check out the video from our last hike up Jones Trail from Last February:

This is the start of the trail, Novitiate Park, where Jones Road will dead-end

DETAILS!

JONES TRAIL HIKE: 8:30AM

  • We’ll meet at the start of the trail…it’s called “Novitiate Park”….and we will get started RIGHT AWAY. Directions are below. Make sure to arrive early with plenty of time to find parking! You could park in down town LG and just walk up to the start, or if you get there early enough, you could park on Jones Road if there’s still parking available. And with all that said…I am HIGHLY ENCOURAGING YOU TO CARPOOL! Parking could be tough.
  • We’ll all start together as a group, but eventually we will split off into smaller groups, so don’t feel that you have to go faster or slower than you want. It’s your hike! And with that said, everyone will go at their own pace. Your bootcamp instructors will be dispersed throughout, but you may not even see us depending on how we get split up.
  • We will have extra maps, signs out with arrows directing you the way to go, and a HUGE group… so if you aren’t sure where to go…just watch the people in front of you!

  • The Hike is about 3 miles (I think…it could be less). We’ll be going up hill (with flat areas) until we get to the top (30-50 min if you walk the whole thing), then we’ll loop it around and head back down (much less time on the way down)

APPROXIMATE TIMES TO COMPLETION:

  • About an hour: if you walk the whole thing at a reasonable pace, and walk/shuffle/jog a little on the way down.
  • A little under an hour: if you walk fast uphill and jog the flat parts, and then jog most of the way down.
  • A little over an hour: If you walk the whole thing at a reasonable pace
  • About an hour and a half: If you walk slowly and take lots of breaks.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Bring water and you better eat or I’ll have to open up a can of whip *&^*&. Seriously. We’re not bringing juice boxes. Plan accordingly. (read: cappuccino does not equal breakfast)
  • Don’t bring a mat.
  • If you want to bring “stuff” with you (wallet/cell phone/50lb weights to make it harder ( - : /etc), I would recommend putting it all in a small backpack.
  • It should be a beautiful day, so dress appropriately and wear appropriate shoes.
  • If you’ve never hiked up Jones Trail, you’re in for a treat. It’s a great heart-pumping hike (at least the first half which is uphill…), and you don’t have to drive all the way to the mountains to get a little close to nature.

DIRECTIONS TO THE START OF ST. JOSEPHS HILL HIKE:

FROM ANY HIGHWAY AROUND LOS GATOS, get on HWY 17 going toward Los Gatos:

  • Take the Los Gatos, Hwy 9 Exit (this will put you on hwy 9)
  • Turn LEFT on University Ave. Go until it dead-ends into Main Street.
  • Turn LEFT on Main Street. (***you might choose to park down here and walk up to the start of the trail***)
  • Turn RIGHT on College Ave. (There’s only one way you can turn on College ave.)
  • College ave. will veer right, go up, and veer left.
  • Turn RIGHT on Jones Road. Jones road will DEAD END into Novitiate Park where we will meet.
  • You can attempt to park on Jones Road if you get there early enough, but you might be parking a little further down and walking into the park. PARKING IS LIMITED, so carpool or remember: it’s not a bad idea to park in town somewhere and just walk up College ave to Jones road and meet us at Novitiate park.
