Fighting Fit Boot Camp will get you in shape FAST !

Ocala Karate & Fitness is proud  to announce that we will be launching our next Fighting Fit Boot Camp in May 2010.  That’s only a month and a half away, so anyone and everyone that is REALLY looking to lose weight, tone up, and just get FIT for the summer this is your ticket! !

Ocala Karate & Fitness, www.ocalashinbukan.com is Ocala’s ONLY Licensed and Certified Fighting fit Boot Camp Facility.  www.ocalabootcamp.com

This class is going to be a 6 week revolving program that will not only melt those inches away, but will also tone those hard to hit areas and have everyone looking their best for summer.  I think we’ve seen the last of our cold weather here, so the Spring is right around the corner.

For those of you familiar with Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing class, the Fighting Fit Boot Camp will be similar, but much different.  This class is going to be centered around a combination of Cardio, plyometric, strength training, and running routines that will have you not only looking your best, but feeling your best.  The first week will have weigh ins, body comp tests, and include a nutritional guide to help all of our boot campers hit all their goals.  This unique camp utilizes many of the drills and combination’s that Professional fighters use to get themselves into the best physical condition possible.  Minus the hard core sparring drills of course.

So get in touch with us today to reserve your spot in the Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Fight Fit Boot Camp.  Remember, once Boot Camp starts you have to wait until the end of the 6 week cycle to join in.  Call us now for more information at 352-694-6304.

  What an awesome night we had here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  Tonight marked the first Cardio Kickboxing NIGHT class for 2010 and man was it packed.  We had 16 people in class tonight all kicking it up a notch to reach all their goals for 2010.  And Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing and Cardio Circuit class is just what the doctor ordered. 

Getting Fit has never been easier

   Talk about burning calories and getting in shape fast !  Our members tonight were smiling from ear to ear when the class ended.  Of course they were all exhausted, but that ’s the reason they were all smiling.  They could all tell that this was the workout that they were all needing.  Our Carido Class is a unique combination of muscle toning, strength training drills that are combined with some heart racing drills that produce just the right intervals to create one heck of a workout.

Well 2009 is officially over, and its freezing cold outside right now.  Last night was no exception, as I think the Temperature got down to around 27 degrees last night.  Now that’s cold! !  But, one place in town it wasn’t cold was here at Ocala Karate & Fitness.  Last night marked the first class of 2010 and man did we go at it full speed ! !

All the classes were full last night as everyone poured in from their Christmas break, just itching to get back to business.  And that’s exactly what we did.  It didn’t take long at all to get every one’s heart rates up and respiration’s going.  After a nice, long over due stretch, we jumped into our basic punches, kicks, strikes, blocks, and combinations with an intensity that made me smile.

Everyone was going full tilt last night.  It was great to see everyone make it back to class and we have many, many New Faces on the floor starting the New Year of 2010 out.  All of our newest members are quickly finding out just why Ocala Karate & Fitness, www.ocalakaratefitness.com, is Ocala’s Premier Martial Arts school.  We offer more classes and a totally rounded program that will meet and exceed any one’s expectations.

Get Confident AND Fit ! !

From our Karate Classes, to our Cardio Kickboxing Circuit Training Classes, or even our New Street Self Defense Class that starts Tuesday Jan 5th 2010 at 7:00.  This new class is centered around developing the average person’s motor sensory skills and reflex’s to react and be able to properly defend that person in just about every situation conceivable.  www.ocalaselfdefense.com

This is a very serious class for adults only, that really want to make a change in their lives that will better prepare them for just about anything.  Just one more reason why Ocala Karate & Fitness is helping to make Ocala a better place to live.

Getting a Jump on the Holiday

     Here we go again, closing out another year.  I don’t know about everyone else, but 2009 flew by pretty fast.  But as we head towards the Holidays and all the huge meals, treats, and parties that are associated with this time of the year, we all need to start flipping the switch now.

What do I mean by flipping the switch?  What I mean by that is everyone that is worried about putting on all the extra weight of the holidays has two choices right now.

1.  Don’t eat anything! !  Run and hide.  Stay away from all your favorite parties.  Now that doesn’t sound like any fun does it?  Okay. I’m kidding.   Option 1. should read: Use extreme caution when you eat, what you eat, and how much you eat at these special events.

2.  Get down to Ocala Karate & Fitness and register for our Cardio Kickboxing class!  www.ocalakaratefitness.com 

  This exciting fast paced workout is just what you need to keep those extra pounds off.  Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing/Circuit Fitness class has been a huge hit this year.  If you want to:

• Increase your metabolism
• Lose weight
• Tone up those flabby areas
• Increase your energy level
• Stay in control of your body
• Stay younger
• Keep your heart healthy

These are just a few of the benefits that our active members are getting from Ocala Karate & Fitness’s Cardio Kickboxing class.  So if your asking yourself: I know I need to do this, but can I do this class? 

The answer is YES !  This class has been designed to accommodate all fitness levels.  Beginners and advanced.

    If you are asking yourself: I’m not very athletic, I wonder if I can do those drills?

The answer is: YES !  These drills are not complicated and only takes a few time of doing the drills before they feel like second nature.

  If your asking yourself:  I wonder if I can do the whole class?

 The answer is YES !    That’s what makes this class so great.  Every drill is designed for each person to push themselves at their own pace.  Where one person might be able to do 20 reps in a minute the next might be able to do 40, or only 10.  The main thing to remember is that it doesn’t matter.  All that matters is that YOU are out on the FLOOR pushing YOURSELF, and getting stronger.

   On top of that the routine changes up every 3 weeks, so no one gets bored or tired of the same ol same ol, grind that we have all felt at one time by going to the big box gyms.  So don’t waste anymore time!  Pick up the phone and call Jaime or Robby for more information on this, or one of our many other classes we have available at Ocala Karate & Fitness. 

   Remember: It’s up to you to take the first step to a healthier fitter you. 

Kicking those calories

                                                         Hope to see you on the floor

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to start out by saying how relieved I am that my shipment of Prograde Workout finally came in.  I really screwed up last week and forgot to reorder my Bottle of Prograde Workout and ran out over the week end.

First off, let me tell you that I have never really been a big nutritional supplement kind of guy.  However, teaching 8 Karate per week, and 5 Cardio Kickboxing/Fitness classes per at Ocala Karate & Fitness, I can was really starting to get worn down.

I had a buddy of mine, Mike Massie, recommend to me that I should get set up with Prograde and give their products a try.  Well let me tell everyone something.  Believe me or not, but literally the next day I noticed a difference.

I started out taking the VGF 25, a multi vitamin that provides you the nutrients from 25 WHOLE vegetables, Fruits, and Greens.  But also provides you with a whole slew of other benefits including: safe guarding your Heart and circulatory system, Maximizes fat burning potential through optimal nutritional foundation, safe guards the prostate and urinary system,and boosts your digestive system function.

VGF 25+ For men

But the biggest change I noticed was when I started taking the Prograde Workout recovery shake.  This is a research based recovery drink that mixes the exact ratio of carbs to proteins to maximize workout performance and recovery.

What does this mean?  It means no more guessing what to eat or drink before your workouts.  Especially if your on the fly like everyone else now a days.  It mixes up with water or, and I recommend skim milk, in less than 60 seconds.  It’s special formula is RAPIDLY absorbed so its in your system by the time your ready to hit the floor.

What else does it do?  This is the best part.  It not only promotes, but accelerates Lean Muscle Tissue Growth.  Now I know some people will say “but I don’t want to bulk up”.  Well this is not bulking you up.  What it’s doing is promoting Lean tissue replacement which in turn RAISES your Metabolism and will cause your body to BURN more calories at rest.

    So while you are increasing the amount of Lean Muscle Tissue in your body, you are also increasing your body’s metabolism.  This means that all day long, even at rest, your body will be burning more calories just doing your everyday routine.  We all know that by increasing your body’s caloric usage, and not increasing the amount of calories you take in, will result in weight loss and muscle toning.

   So log onto our website and check out what all we have to offer at www.ocalakaratefitness.com  Or go directly to Prograde and see for yourself how we can help you get back the body that you want.  Click here http://ocalakaratefitness.getprograde.com/

   Until next time

    With 8 new members joining us over the last week, this morning class is really starting to fill up.  Available spots are limited, so if you are thinking about joining you really need to jump in.  Because of limited floor space once this class fills up, we’re going to be putting names on a waiting list.

     Secondly, the Cardio Kickboxing class is really running strong now too.  Everyone is getting ready for the hollidays by getting involved in our Cardio class BEFORE all the food for the hollidays hits everyone right where it counts.  This class is a total body workout, so if your looking to tone up and stay fit, or lose some of those unwanted pounds this class is for you.

For everyone enjoying the class right now, hang on to your hats because tomorrow will by the last class with these drills that we’ve been doing for the last couple of weeks now.  Starting Monday we’ll have 17 brand new exercises hitting the circuit, so get ready.  This is what this class is all about.  Changing up the routine to keep it as exciting and fast paced as possible.  No one wants to do the same old drill over and over again.  That’s why this class is so much fun, and so effective at keeping its members coming back for more.  So call now and reserve a spot and see for yourself the benefits of becoming a member at Ocala Karate & Fitness.
