If you're a fan of Fergie's Boot Camp, then you definitely want to follow what we're up to over at Bandit Crossfit. I'm still working on a few final details before our first class opens to the public. Our web site should be up this week with details on our class times and opening date. It's likely that I will phase out this fan page in the coming months. Thanks for your support!

Everyone give a big shout out to Tish Collier for her Ironman 70.3 finish last weekend!! She set her goals, worked hard, and finished despite several setbacks that included a sprained ankle the week before the race and flat tire during the race. However, Tish was determined to reach her goal, and I am happy to report that SHE DID!! She can now claim to be an official Iron(wo)Man 70.3 finisher! Tish, I couldn't be more proud of you as I know how hard you worked to achieve this goal!! Here's to many more successes in your racing future! By the way, this is not a picture of Tish in her race. She told me she had no "sherpa" to take photos for her! So, I just used one of her prior race shots ;)

Hey, Fergie's Boot Camp--Can you relate?

Check out this vintage ad. 7-up is so "wholesome" even a babies are drinking it! Do you see what we are fighting here? Decades of propaganda that encourage unhealthy habits. It's no wonder that the United States is among the fattest nations in the world. We've never been told the truth about what we put into our bodies.

Ha! This 50's ad depicts 7-up as 'wholesome'. Even babies are drinking it!

PEOPLE!!! I tell my boot campers this ALL the time!! Abs are made in the kitchen!! There is no exercise you can do to "tone" up you lower abdominals. Stop being tricked by the mainstream marketing and advertising gimmicks of companies that only want your money. EVERYTHING we do Fergie's Boot Camp is a "core" movement and everyone has abs. Some folks just have a little more fluff covering those muscles. The only way to show them is through a healthy diet with little to no sugar and starches like potatoes, pastas, and grains.

There are no such thing as lower abs. Unless you are speaking of the pyramidalis muscle which is absent in 20% of humans. So that means its not vitally important or strong for that matter. The hip flexors (iliacus, psoas, and re**us femoris) could be construed as "lower abs". But the re**us abdominis ( your 6 pack muscles ) contracts equally and consistently as one movement to pull the rib-cage towards the pelvis, or the pelvis towards the rib-cage in non-weight bearing. This re**us abdominis works like a cinch cord to pull the internal and external obliques in tight, so that the transverse abdominis can more effectively stabilize your pelvis and spine. Doing 3 minute abs, and sit-ups till your face turns blue will not help your core...you will only hurt your back eventually. The CORE can never reach its full potential until the the spine and pelvis are stabilized. Believe me- I don't have people do sit-ups, legs lifts, or any "lower ab" exercise until they can keep their lower backs in a neutral lordotic curve and there pelvis in neutral tilt as well. This is not how a lot of professionals approach this. THAT IS WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT. If you flatten or "imprint" your lower back to better feel/activate your core- then you might want to question your approach. The core reaches its true strength potential when the lordotic curve stays neutral like it has for 99.9% of Human History. When you teach your brain to keep this "slight inward arch" in your lower back while you are doing daily activities, exercise or rehab. . The BEST Method of Natural Human Pain-Free Movement.
