Bootcamp Eden Prairie

Lift light weights fast to build strength. Your muscles will generate as much force as if you were lifting a heavier weight more slowly. Try it with the bench press: Use a weight that's 40 to 60 percent of what you can lift one time, and do eight sets of three repetitions, pushing the weight up as fast as possible. Rest 30 seconds between sets.

Keep your house empty of bad food. If you want to lose weight, don’t tempt fate by filling your pantry with unhealthy food. If you buy it, chances are you’ll eat it. Don’t buy it in the first place.

Change your workout routine every few months. Your nervous system adapts quickly to different stimuli. Always keep things new to continue progressing.

Eat as many meals as you can at home. Self preparation gives you complete control of everything that goes into your mouth.
