Kelly's Bootcamp & Inergy

Another food share. I promise we work out, too😂.

I had seen this frozen shrimp stir fry at Costco before and thought to myself. I can buy frozen shrimp and frozen vegetables and make my version.

I could, but this was one bag and one less step, and it's been a long week!

The package comes with two bags, and I think you would need both to feed a family of 4.

I made one bag for my 1/2 family (3 people), which was perfect.

I also made one bag of frozen cauliflower rice (also perfect). We also have some leftover roasted asparagus to add to the veggie count!

What was not perfect was the sauce. Ten grams of sugar in one tablespoon. A little goes a long way, and of course, you could avoid the sauce altogether. I put 1/2 tbl with fresh crushed garlic and ginger, which was tasty.

I would rebuy this because the veggies were uniique and cooked perfectly with the shrimp.

Seven minutes on the stove with Olive oil. The rice cooked for about five on a different pan.

I used to do in-home personal training, and my preschool daughter Lindsay would come along.

One day she asked if I was their boss (referring to my clients Chris & Fran) because I was telling them what to do.

I explained that they are actually my boss, as are all the clients of KBC.

She didn't get it, and I explained that even though I tell them what to do in our sessions, my job is to serve them, create results-driven programs and make sure that they are getting better, having fun, and feeling more confident and energized. I work for them!

I have so many bosses, and sometimes I don't know which one to listen to, but I have learned that if I do these three things, I will get it right enough of the time to make it work.

1. Think of my ideal client and the people that I am best equipped to serve.

2. Care. Understand they may be struggling even when they look fine on the outside.

3. Trust my gut and experience, hold tight to my core beliefs, and model consistency and hard work.

I recently listened to a podcast on the School of Greatness and that I found to be very powerful. Kendra said many things I have felt over the years as an entrepreneur, and she said three words that I can't get out of my head.

🌟🌟🌟Surprise and Delight.🌟🌟🌟

I think that is such a beautiful way to think about serving your clients, whether it is through a workout or the experience of purchasing jewelry.

I'll link the podcast in my story. I always admired the Kendra Scott brand, and now I know why. I like Kendra’s work ethic, philanthropic heart, authenticity, and her values.

I know where I wil be on March 25th!!

This is a food dump, but if I am often asked for dinner/healthy food ideas, I thought one of these pics might serve as inspiration.
1. Chicken thighs seared in a pan on both sides, finished in the oven for 20 minutes: sliced zucchini and cauliflower roasted while the chicken cooked (I have two ovens).
2. Used the roasted zucchini as noodles, mixed ground beef with egg, almond flour, and seasonings, pan seared, and finished in the oven or crock pot in the sauce.
3. I had finish up the freezer week and had this lunch one day. High in sodium but balanced it out with an undressed salad.
4. The farm stand by Inergy after dude camp on Sunday has been a treat. Yup, I got the chips!
5. I would have cooked the salmon and Brussel sprouts for 25 minutes at 375, but we had a little glitch that day:)
6. The chicken thighs leftover with fresh bruschetta, nobody knew😉
7. Fran’s mom made me a cauliflower and shrimp omelet one day as I walked out her door for a training session since I always make it when I have leftover shrimp!
8. Love sliced almonds, eggs, spinach, and shrimp with homemade honey mustard.
9. Steamed spinach with poached eggs and avocado.
10. I ate two cloves of garlic before class.

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

Kelly's Bootcamp and Inergy

1. I no longer recognized myself and was out of breath just taking laundry up my staircase. I was a working mom of 2 young kids and I was just sitting down all day long-- commute, desk, commute, sit on the floor with kids or a massive pile o' laundry.

2. I had no mental capacity to formulate my own workout plan, or frankly, deal with another commute to a gym, find a parking spot, hope a piece of equipment was available or pay huge gym fees on top of daycare fees!

3. On a fateful night, eating ice cream at Dairy Queen...I come across Kelly's bootcamp! I started out slow-- Saturday bootcamp and maybe 2 weeknight classes at the lot. I stuck with it until baby #3, and then came back after a maternity break. At that point, I barely talked to anyone- I just needed to get out of the house, workout, and get home again.

4. Its been almost 9 years, and in the last 4 years I have ramped up to 5-6 days a week working out, and I have made so many great friends through the different challenges and small group training programs. I feel so much better about myself and feel like ME again.

5. I love the other benefits of KBC- community focused events like food drives for Dulles South, Happy hours or sip n shop events, nutrition and accountability programs, team and individual challenges and the fact that there is always something to try or learn.

I came for the workouts and escape. I stayed for the fun and people!! (photo's- Now and Niagara Falls 2013)

When students feel sick duirng a session (very rare), the first thing I ask is, did you eat. The answer is usually no or I never eat.

I believe not eating before light cardio or a morning walk is ok but what I have personally found is that when I don't have some kind of pre work food (my go to is a piece of toast with nut butter) my performance is poor. I get so much more out of a workout when I am fueled.

Here is an example. Last week, I had to fast for a doctors apt and this week I was fueled.

Same format, same temperature, and same weekly routine.

I love Myzone for so many reasons but the truth is it usually just gives me validation of what I already know based on precieved exertion.

Curious if any one feels the same or different about eating before a workout.

Kermit the Frog took over my social media, and I almost didn’t get to post for my dear friend and rock star teammate and her best friend ! I love their story of friendship (see my story), and I adore that they did their bday pushups through zoom with 15th-year-old son Nicholas! We really are a family!!

KB started teaching in 2020 😳had the cutest baby boy in 2021 and has never missed a beat. She is resilient, positive, energetic, fun, funny, thoughtful, and a great instructor that all our members adore.

We will celebrate next week, and KB is sure to have the cutest outfit and the biggest smile!!!

😱Erin started her health & fitness journey in January of 2021 and has lost 7️⃣5️⃣.8️⃣ pounds!

😳She joined the monthly accountability group we offer to our members in January 2022 and decreased her body fat by 9️⃣%. I would estimate she has lost 20% body fat since starting, but she was scared of the Inbody.

💻 Erin does a variety of KBC workouts from home. She is very consistent and excellent about mixing it up!

🌟A few clips of Erin shares in the accountability group and through text.

🌟” This month, I focused on increasing water, increasing steps, and increasing veggies. I am so grateful for the DW Challenge!”

🌟” This month, I plan to focus on increasing my sleep (I really need that).”

🌟” A couple of things I focused on this month....water, water, water (100oz a day), meal prep (to avoid take-out and unhealthy quick meals), lots of veggies (carrots dipped in homemade guac is my new favorite).”

🌟” Although I did splurge a bit on food/alcohol, I kept up with my activity, increased my steps, drank lots of water, and really tried to eliminate mindless eating.”

Erin is a working mom that has prioritized her health so she can enjoy being active with her family. She is dedicated and consistent, believes in real food, exercise, daily movement, and seeking help and accountability.

We are so proud of her and hope that this share is helpful to those seeking change. It is important to note that Erin started very slow on building habits, and built upon her own success.

The longer the process, the longer the results.

Grateful for this guy.

⬆️This quote spoke to me!

It is the beginning of the month, and I am coaching my 12 Month Inbody clients, who are being so hard on themselves!

As I have been sharing messages, I was thinking about how important it is to me to try to be more organized and how I often fall off the wagon and have to clean it up. Just today, I dumped my teaching tote, and it was filled with random items and trash! Just like my students, I am trying, sometimes getting better, sometimes worse, strategizing, creating rules, and seeking accountability, yet mostly treading & sinking!!

Clear nails it; the effort is worth it!!!

Keep treading!!!

Don't sink!

We got this!!!

Myzone proves the silver lining of lockdown for bootcamp business

⭐️Tips to stay consistent with exercise!⭐️

Myzone proves the silver lining of lockdown for bootcamp business Founder of Kelly’s Bootcamp, switched her heart rate training provider to Myzone during lockdown. It was the best decision she ever made, she says.

🌟🌟🌟MYZONE came to KBC in June of 2020, and these are standouts! 🌟🌟🌟

📣Please give a shout out to these dedicated athletes!

🌟🌟🌟WE ARE SO PROUD!!🌟🌟🌟

💙💚💛❤️Consistent
efforts over time!💙💚💛❤️

👏What I appreciate MOST about myzone is that they reward effort rather than ability, motivating its users to feel good about exercise and work harder throughout the year.

🥇Myzone status achievements are based on how many months in a row they have achieved the World Health Organization’s minimum recommended guidelines for physical activity – at least 75 minutes of vigorous activity, or 150 minutes of moderate activity, per week. This equates to 1300 Myzone Effort Points per month.

This effort is rewarded by receiving Iron status for one month of earning 1300 MEPs. Myzone movers then progress through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Diamond statuses until they reach the Hall of Fame, after 48 months of earning at least 1300 MEPs.

The calm before the storm!!

There have been a few patches of bad weather this summer, and this team has united, stepped up, stepped out, and rose above.

I was, for the most part, out of my business for a month, and the show continued with rave reviews.

I am incredibly grateful for this team of hard-working, heart-centered leaders that make our community a healthier and happier place!

Swipe to see our mascot who didn't miss a beat when we had to relocate!

Anybody that has ever worked with me knows I have high expectations. Syd was 17 when she got her first certification as a personal trainer and practiced and studied to pass the National Academy of Sports Medicine course shortly after turning 18.

That is all great, but it was the way she treated and coached these young athletes that made her a superstar in my book.

From start to finish, she was confident, competent, prepared, professional, caring, and empathetic. Her workouts were solid and appropriate, and each week I noticed the girls gaining confidence and stamina!

Best of all, they loved the workout and Syd!

To say that I am proud and impressed is an understatement.

My daughter Lindsay was in the program, and I told her it was a special experience because, knowing Syd, she will never forget her first class of students. What I probably should have said to Lindsay is someday, you will be bragging that you were one of her first students.

Congrats and thank you, Syd, and all the girls that signed up and gave her a chance to shine.

Also congrats to the girls, a few not pictured for priotizing off season training and showing up for workouts!!

Family dinner can be tricky when not everyone wants to eat “your food.”

I never cook two dinners, but sometimes I alter a version.

Last night, I made a traditional lasagna, less cheese, extra egg, fresh crushed garlic, and another with zucchini slices instead of noodles.

It might have been better if I roasted the zucchini first, but I was short on time and chose to save a step and use raw. It was delicious and stayed together perfectly.

I made one batch of ricotta, egg, mozzarella, and parm cheese mixtures and shared it between the two casseroles. It was plenty, and I also added some lean ground beef to the sauce.

The funny part, the zucchini lasagna was just as popular as the noodles. Some things actually do change!

*I used four zucchini and they fit perfectly in the casserole.

is the 💣!

Caroline’s Tuesday 7:30 am Yoga Express is not a class. It is an experience!

Hard to believe we have less than a month of our “summer schedule”! You have three more chances! Mark your calendars for Tuesday at 7:30 am at Inergy!

You will not regret it!!

Did you ever have two things you really wanted to be at happen at the same time? IDEA World and the Class of 1990 Niskayuna High School reunion were the same weekend and I optimistically opted to do both.

IDEA World is an international Fitness Education conference held annually in California in July. I feel incredibly fortunate that I was able to attend in person this year and wanted to soak in as much positive energy and education as humanely possible. Mission accomplished. Some years I come back with tricks and toys. This year, it was more about perspective, inspiration, gratitude, and appreciation of all the hoops that my fellow fitness professionals and entrepreneurs jump through to make the world a healthier and happier place. I am honored, humbled, and grateful to be part of such a heart-centered and magnificent industry with ambitious and unrelenting goals.

I did leave the conference a day early to head across the country to New York to see classmates I hadn't seen in decades.
One of the reasons it was so important to me to be at the reunion was to see my co -captain and soccer, track, and basketball teammate Nancy Moon Tofil. Sports changed my life, they made me love fitness and that love allowed me to help others change their lives.

Sometimes you don't know what you are doing and why until you look back and connect the dots.

Today I am feeling centered, grateful and confident that I am on the right path. It is my hope that this allow me to help others feel the same way.
