A Day at FVT Boot Camp (video)

Have you seen this video yet? It gives you a great idea of what we do at a typical day at FVT:

Our upcoming Charity Boot Camp – 6pm, Weds, March 21st at our 1530 X Street location – is a great opportunity for you to try a boot camp if you’re new, OR to get an extra workout in if you’re currently training with us.

We will be doing the Mean Bean Challenge as a team – during the week of March 19-23 – and your contribution and attendance at this event is to support us.

(The Mean Bean Challenge is a five day event – organized by Tearfund – where participants eat nothing but rice and beans for 5 days, and get sponsored to end hunger. More info herehttps://www.tearfund.org/en/about_you/fundraise/mean_bean_challenge/)

Here’s how it works:

1 – Sign up using the link below to reserve your spot at the event and support the cause. Several members of the FVT Team will be participating and actually DOING the Challenge, as well as several of our clients! (If YOU are interested in actually TAKING the Challenge yourself – let me know! We would love to have you join in!)

2 – Bring your contribution – as much or as little as you like – in cash or check on the day of the event. Our goal as a team is to raise $830 – enough to provide ten families with life-transforming skills and resources, helping to make hunger a thing of the past.

(Please make checks out to Forest Vance Training, Inc – we will collect the funds and distribute to Tearfund with a single check)

Pocket / Greehaven Lean + Jacked Group

Hey guys!

We are circling back around on starting up an advanced / heavy lifting group at the Pocket / Greenhaven location.

It would be at 715 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

– You could do one or both days
– Small group size – 5 people MAX per workout
– It is what we call “semi-private” training – the workouts are built for the group that signs up and their specific goals; you get more coaching and form attention than you would in a boot camp; and the small group just feels more like personal training than it does a boot camp
– Cost would be +/- 30 per workout / sessionThis is a popular program at our Land Park / Downtown location, so we are thinking of starting up a couple of groups at the Pocket / Greenhaven as well.
We are ready to start! – with me tentatively leading Tuesday mornings, and Sarai tentatively leading Thursdays.

Right now I think we have 3 folks who have expressed interest.

If we get 1 or 2 more we will make it happen!

Just leave a message using the form below:

And let me know if you are interested.

Thanks!

meet Matunda

Can you imagine working all day on someone else’s farm, and getting paid at the end of the day … in leaves?

This is the shocking reality for Matunda.

Matunda and her three children are Mbuti pygmies. They live in a remote village, deep in the forest of the DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo).

She desperately wants to provide for her family, but all she gets for a hard day’s labor is a tiny handful of yams and cassava leaves. They only eat one small meal a day.

Something has to be done. We are fundraising to empower people like Matunda so that they can lift themselves out of poverty.

Our goal is to raise $830 at our Charity Boot Camp event next Weds the 21st. This amount will give ten women like Matunda the skills they need to provide for their families.

We will be doing the Mean Bean Challenge as a team – during the week of March 19-23 – and your contribution and attendance at this event is to support us!

Spring 2018 FVT 21 Day Fat Loss Challenge

To your success!

– The FVT Team

the “1-2-3” Rule = fat loss, simplified

++ Spring 2018 28 Day Rapid Fat Loss Challenge kicks off Weds, March 7th – click here to sign up now ++

Following the “1-2-3” rule is the EASIEST way to keep your macro balance in check.

The “1-2-3” rule simply is – for every 1 gram of fat you eat, balance it with 2 grams of protein, and 3 grams of carbs.

Of course, the total amount of calories you consume each day, and the TOTAL number of fat, protein, and carbohydrate grams each person eats will differ – depending on your weight, body comp, activity level, etc –

But you can use this formula to easily keep your meals balanced, from a macronutrient perspective.

EXAMPLE – me! (Forest)

  • Calorie goal = 2500 per day
  • Fat goal = 30% of total calories = 750 calories from fat per day, or 83.3 grams
  • Protein goal = 30% of total calories = 750 calories from protein per day, or 187.5 grams
  • Carbohydrate goal = 40% of total calories = 1000 calories from carbohydrate per day, or 250 grams

NOW … I break this down into 3 meals, and 2 snacks.

For my MEALS … I shoot for approx 20 F / 40 P / 60 C …

And for my SNACKS … I shoot for approx 10 F / 20 P / 30 C.

Easy, right?

Stick to those guidelines, and you’ll be WELL on your way to your fat loss goals.
