Well, yesterday was our first day at the NEW FVT boot camp and personal training facility:
We had over 50 clients come in for a workout over the course of the day, and all went (more or less) without a hitch.
Same awesome workouts, just with a bigger and better training space!! 😉
(Mark your calendar for the 31st of January, we’ll be holding a Grand Opening party … come by for a workout, to say hi and check out the new space if you’re in the Sacramento area.)
The workout we did in our boot camp sessions yesterday was our monthly Challenge Workout.
Folks come to us to lose fat, build muscle, and feel great … but they also want fun and challenging workouts to keep them motivated and excited! And that’s what our monthly challenges are all about.
This month, it was the FVT Band Challenge … with a small twist / IMPROVEMENT for 2015.
See the full workout below – give it a try – and I’d love to hear how you do.
And if you enjoy this workout … and would like MANY more fun and challenging workouts like this one to keep you motivated and fired up to train hard every day … read more about my Ultimate Kettlebell Challenge Workouts program at the bottom of today’s article:

PS – I lost 64 pounds in 7 months shortly after my football career ended – and I’ve managed to keep it off, using a program like Ultimate Kettlebell Challenge Workouts.
If it worked for me, it can work for you!
