The fruit and veggie cleanse is complete.  Nothing but fruit, veggies, beans, nuts and water for what was supposed to be 7 days… made it to 5 and a half.  No caffeine, salt, sugar, artificial foods, alcohol, meat or dairy.  The husband was on board with me, so that made it easier.  Took a trip to the store and stocked up on produce for the both of us.  Here are my pros and cons. Pros

I have been a personal trainer/group exercise instructor for 5 years in the process of attaining my bachelor's degree in exercise science. I am excited about the possibilites and opportunites available through IDEA Health & Fitness.  With the fitness industry growing by leaps and bounds, the prospect of people jumping on board and changing their lives by creating a healthier lifestyle is inspiring.  I'm looking forward to helping them achieve their goals!

I have a special blog this week. My friend is selling his all most brand new Boflex home gym. It is a second generation system. He originally paid $2500.00 for it. He is only asking $1400.00 for it. If you purchase it you will have to arrange to come and pick it up. If you are interested in this great piece of workout equipment call me or text me at (970) 443-5068 or you can email me at fitnessforlife.bradshaw@gmail.com. 

Tim Kolda gets the most tenacious award for this season.  After getting off to an excellent year and placing second in his age group at Champion's Sprint in Austin, Tim dealt with several major setbacks over the summer that would have sent most packing and planning for a return next season....However, Tim went right back to work digging himself out of the hole and getting back into top shape.  Here is to never giving up Tim.  Great job.

Congratulations to Bob Burleson for being the most improved triathlete of this year.  Bob managed to place 8th at Mini Musselman, 6th at Pittsburgh's International Triathlon in his age group (40-45) and 1st  in his age group at the Pittsburgh North Park Spring Triathlon.  Bob has gotten better every race he has entered this year.   Bob trained consistently over an extended period of time and as the saying goes..."You race like you train."  

David Rosa won Elite Nationals this past July for his home country of Portugal.  David has worked very hard for this goal all year long and is now setting his sites on even bigger goals.  By tracking David's data over this past season we now have data for preparing him for his next major goal of competing in London and beyond.  Every year David has gotten stronger and his power improvements on the bike have been increadible. Congratulations David!  You worked hard for this and fought against all odds to be the National Champion.  

This is a shameless self promotion. I've just made available on my website www.degoodfit.com my first home workout video. It's only five dollars for a half an hour total body workout that, when accompanied by a sensible diet plan, will get you results. It's a no joke, all out half an hour.  If you would like to make suggestions of video you want to see please feel free to comment.  You can catch the teaser for 1/2 hour of power on my idea page.
