If you’re in the San Jose, CA area, please make sure to check out the press release below that announces my newest camp for “boomer” ladies:

Baby Boomers. They’re not planning to “get old” without a fight. But how does a Baby Boomer battle a slowing metabolism and an expanding waistline? Not through long, moderate cardio workouts and extremely low calorie diets according to local fitness expert, Becky Williamson.

“Women from the Boomer era have grown up with the idea that hours of moderate intensity cardiovascular exercise and eating as little as possible is the way to stay trim. I think we actually screwed up our metabolisms by following that advice” says Williamson, an Exercise Physiologist and Baby Boomer herself. “Women have sacrificed a lot of calorie-burning muscle by chronic low-calorie dieting and staying away from strength training due to the fear of “bulking up”.

Frustrated with seeing so many over-forty women do all the wrong things in order to get slim, Williamson has created a fitness camp for women over 40 to train them to do exercises that will boost their metabolism. “Muscle IS your metabolism”, Williamson explains. I’ve created a format that pairs strength training exercises done in rapid succession with short bouts of cardiovascular exercise. One of the best things about this format is that I can give women a strength AND cardiovascular workout in about 40 minutes. That’s a lot better than an hour and a half at the gym! “

Recent studies have shown that bursts of higher intensity exercise followed by brief recovery exercise may indeed be more advantageous for body fat loss than longer, more moderate intensity exercise. Short bouts of higher intensity exercise isn’t for everybody, but Williamson believes that with proper form and by building up fitness slowly, just about anybody can benefit from this type of training.

Women over 40 in the Bay Area will get their first chance to experience Williamson’s unique program this November in Willow Glen. The “Fit and Fabulous Fit Camp for Women” will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays in November from 6:30-7:15 am November 4th through November 20th at St. Francis Episcopal church located at 1205 Pine Ave. Tuition for the 6 class camp is $90 and includes handouts on nutrition and weekly email support from Williamson.

Okay, there you go ladies! If you’re in my neck of the woods, I’ve got a special class coming up in November just for YOU!

Committed to your success,

Becky
