You asked for it, you got it!
Starting January 2nd, 2012 we are adjusting the 6:30am Concord training time to 6:20am.
It was pretty much universal among our clients that an earlier start time would be a big help with morning schedules, and getting to work on time with less stress.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Thank-you for choosing to train with us!
Thank-you so much for stepping up and making some kids a lot happier this Christmas season.
You helped Get Fit NH collect about 215 toys in a span of just a couple weeks, and a special thanks goes out to Maria Gilbert for spear heading the effort and making numerous trips to Manchester to bring all the collected toys to the distribution center.
You guys are incredible!
Lori Before
Ever since Lori walked through the door she has attacked her training with passion and perseverance.
The results so far?
Check it out!
“Build it and they will come”
Seems like such a simple statement.
That’s what the voices said to Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams. Those around him thought he was crazy, but with faith and perseverance he made it happen. I felt like those naysayers. I was so uncomfortable in my own skin and so tired of feeling tired.
Lori after 14 weeks at Get Fit NH - Making It Happen!
But here I am after 14 weeks of Bootcamp down, 16 lbs with a lot of body re-composition! And what has it taken to get me here….perseverance, hard work and a whole lot of faith!! I wish I could say it was easy, but its not. But I can say it has gotten less daunting!! I so look forward to training days at 8:30. I do know that the ladies in my group are a great source of support, encouragement and inspiration.
We all have our “field of dreams ” that we striving toward and with the support of each other and Coach Dean and Coach Erin we are making it happen!!
I think the secrect to success is finding what works best for you. For me, it is the hard work at Bootcamp and staying away from extra carbs and overly processed foods. There is no magic pill to swallow, no magic potion or lotion to use.If you look deep enough you will find that the magic is inside of you and you have to have faith and willingness to do the hard work!! I am still a work in process and have a way to go but I will make it happen!
Thanks Get Fit NH, Coach Dean, Coach Erin and all the ladies at the 8:30 Ladies class in Concord!!

This video from Dr. Mike Evans answers the question in a unique and entertaining way AND he backs it up!
Just got the word today that the Warrior Dash will be coming to NH for the first time!
It’s going to be held at Gunstock on September 15, 2012, and if you register early you can get in for a great price.
Coach Nancy and I are signed up for the 10:00am wave, and we would love to have a bunch of our Get Fit NH Athletes (that means you!) join us.
If you have never done an adventure race, this is great one to get started with!
Take a look at the video below from last years festivities then head on over to the Warrior Dash NH site and Sign Up.
See You There!
In the special section “Winter Survival In The Granite State”. It’s tough living up to being married to a celebrity trainer! 🙂
Christmas is a busy time of year for everyone. It’s not any different in my house. Family, friends, and extra fun work activities like the Jingle Bell Run have put me on the run, literally.
I’m not one to take excuses from my marvelous boot campers regarding their training time, so I don’t want to make excuses about my nutrition with the holidays either.
My faithful friend the crock pot has saved me many times from spending too much time in the kitchen but delivering a mouth watering meal for my family. I love the rich smells of food cooking slowly all day. I’ve listed just a few of my favorites for you to try.
Peppered Beef
2 pounds lean beef round steaks, sliced thin
Place onion and peppers inside crock pot. Place meat in criss cross patterns in pot, avoiding stacking meat directly on top of each other. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over meat. Cover and cook for 8-10 hours on low or 4-5 on high.
Three ingredient pork chops
Combine all ingredients in crock pot in order listed. Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours.
Cajun Ranch Chicken
Spray inside of slow cooker with peanut oil. Combine the spices and place in a tray. Dip chicken first in the milk and then rub with the spice mixture. Place spiced chicken in crock pot. Sprinkle remaining spices over chicken. Cover and cook for 8-10 hours on low or on high for 4-5.
As a bonus, Super Star Client Hester sent in this recipe. It is incredible!
Hester’s Grillin Spice Rub
I discovered this recipe this weekend. I think you can use it on anything that goes on the grill or under the broiler. We used it on salmon. Delicious. – Hester
(I mixed up this recipe for my family for a rub on steak at lunch. It was a hit. I have enough of the rub left over for several more meals to grill. I’m thinking I might make up a batch of this for a brother who loves his grilling time.)
Serving these recipes with a salad will keep you on track nutritionally, take just a few minutes to prepare, and are delicious.
No Excuses!
Coach Nancy
As Christmas approaches and the holiday season is upon us, we just wanted to make sure we are all on the same page for our last recovery week of the year and let you know we have posted the 2012 Training Calendar.
We are running a full training schedule right up through Friday December 23rd, with the week between Christmas and New Years as a scheduled recovery week.
We will be back to training on Monday January 2nd!
If you are a fairly new client, you may have never heard of, never mind experienced what a recovery week is all about.
It is always amazing for me to see the new skills, strength, stability and stamina (how’s THAT for some alliteration?) that each training phase brings our clients.
One thing that many of us have a hard time wrapping our head around is the concept of recovery. To get some of you to take a week off is like we asked you to stop breathing, but it’s the hard chargers that often need it the most.
This time of year is a great time to schedule a week off of training for a number of reasons. Lack of sleep, added stress, and less than optimal nutrition choices makes it even tougher than normal to recover adequately from your training.
At Get Fit NH, we are not just trying to beat you up, no matter what you think. (Can you believe someone actually called me “mean” today?)
The point is to get Better, and getting better means recovering from training session to training session, week to week, month to month, and training cycle to training cycle.
And that means taking a week off from training a few times a year.
Over the years we have written much on the subject of recovery, so don’t just blow it off as unimportant.
We as your coaches are responsible for providing you with the best training program that we can.
You are responsible for executing that plan, and part of that plan and thus part of your responsibility is recovery.
Here are some links to the info you need to know to have a great recovery week. One that will leave you refreshed and ready to attack the next phase of training.
Read up, and then Make It Happen!
