Nutrition
Knowing how many calories to eat and what kinds of foods to eat when training can be confusing. You must eat enough of the right kinds of foods to build muscle and supply energy for training. And, if you want to lose weight as well, this can be really tricky! Sherise will guide you for 22 weeks through two class sessions, five Foody Fact newsletters and a weekly review of your daily food diary with feedback and suggestions. The first class in tentatively scheduled for January 14th and the second will occur a few weeks into camp.

Building Lean Muscle
Lean muscle mass increases your metabolism. A strong core, which includes muscles from your shoulders to your hips, and good flexibility improves your running efficiency and strength. It also reduces injury. The staff at Sport+Spine will lead you in classes that are designed to do just that! Boot Camp includes three months of unlimited classes at Sport+Spine starting March-May. Options include yoga for athletes, barre and core classes. Two classes or more (at least one targeting core) per week is recommended to achieve best results.
