Santa Monica Boot Camp Circuit Training & Tasty Post Workout Recovery Shake

Happy Friday Everyone,

Another week of boot camps in Santa Monica have come and gone. We punctuated the end of the week with an awesome full body circuit workout this morning...another 550-600 calories burned! Here's just a sampling of what we did in case you missed it:

60 sec. Prone Plank
60 sec. Wall Sits
-Repeat 2x

60 sec. Wide Hand Position Push-Ups
60 sec. Resistance Band Chest Press
-Repeat 2x
60 sec. Bent Over Row w/Chair Squat Postion
60 sec. Resistance Band Narrow Row
-Repeat 2x
60 sec. DB Turkish Get-Ups
60 sec. Resistance Ab Rotations
-Repeat 2x

30 sec.Step-Out Squats with Overhead Press
30 sec. Dumbbell Upper Cuts
30 sec. Yogi-Style Push-Ups
-Repeat 2x

40 crunches
40 bicycles
40 bridges w/flexion
Run 1 park loop as fast as possible with dumbbells.

I've got to tell you, everyone busted their behind out there once again! After a workout like that, refueling the muscle with food is essential to build lean muscle for optimal fat loss.

One option is to concoct a replacement meal shake. Today I thought I'd highlight a post workout shake put together by one of our awesome boot campers, Heidi Steinberg:

Tasty Shake from Heidi
2 scoops whey protein (100 calories). She uses chocolate fudge Biotech whey protein powder from Whole Foods.
6 oz. skim milk
1 tbl. peanut butter (I grind my own at Whole Foods)
12-14 raspberries

Thanks for this recipe Heidi. It sounds amazingly delicious and quite healthy I might add! If any of you out there have any favorite shakes, meals for recovery, send them my way.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend,
Adam Brewer
