Fitness Challenge

Every season at my gym we do a fitness challenge. It's basically like the Biggest Loser. Every trainer has a team which we encourage healthy lifestyle changes both physically and nutritionally. Unless... you train with me, and then I will work you so hard you will want to die. Now if I have a client that just wants a couple of workouts so that eventually they can "go it alone" then I will give them a few well balanced workouts and send them on their way. But, if I have a group member that tells me that they are in this challenge to win it, then they are not getting away without a throwing up a time or two. I've only ever made two clients pass out (don't worry, I caught them both) which is never a fun situation for them especially when they wake up surrounded by a bunch of EMT's (safety first). But in my defense, if I thought I was going to pass out I would tell my trainer. I don't read minds!

For the fall challenge this year I got the best team in the whole world! They all want nothing less than nauseating workouts and we are 250 points ahead of the other 6 teams. I'm a little (a lot) competitive and I expect no less from my group. Our team name is the Blue Bunnies (a cop term, probably dirty - I dunno) .

Throughout the challenge we have fitness competitions where all of the teams get together and compete physically against each other for extra points towards the challenge and ever so important bragging rights. We always have a team "uniform" for these types of events and so I had to see how good of a sport Parks would be. Well he was awesome, not only did he wear the bunny ears and tail with pride - he also wore bunny boxers. You can't beat it! They took 2nd in the first challenge (we got robbed) and 1st in the second.

One of my team members has won 5 out of the 9 challenges and I really think this time I will have a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and trainer's choice, all from my team - total sweep! Go Bunnies!

We all put on fake tatoos. I made Parks (next to me) put on on a skull with pig tails:) Priceless!
