Something I'm noticing that's really cool in my boot camp is people like to play.
We started doing more game based fitness drills, and my campers are getting into it.
We did a game at the end of camp the other day with a 2lbs handled medicine ball that we had fun with and really challenged their fitness and power endurance.
They all took turns throwing this ball in one of 4 ways that I showed them down a soccer field, then ran after it.
After the ball stopped moving, the next person would throw it. So on and so on for 10 minutes. They were surprised how tiring it was.
Sometimes you have to just play.
Don't get bogged down in exercise science, and just PLAY!
Talk to you tomorrow,

Pumpkin Pancakes
A terrific pancake alternative, this recipe provides loads of vitamin A and a higher protein pancake than traditional flap jacks. Protein is a very important nutrient for pregnant women, and experts report that adding protein to meals and snacks can help with pregnancy related nausea or “morning sickness.” Don’t get deterred by slightly higher fat content. Because of the flaxseed meal, these are also loaded with omega 3 fatty-acids, which are unsaturated fats and actually cardio-protective (good for your heart).
Ingredients
1 large egg
½ cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
1 Tbs canola oil
½ tsp. vanilla extract
2 Tbs non-fat sour cream or non-fat ricotta blended
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
Directions:
In a medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Blend in pumpkin, oil, vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together all dry ingredients. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix well. On a lightly sprayed non-stick pan, dollop out about 1/3 cup of batter to make each pancake. Be sure to make the pancakes a little smaller than usual since they are fragile (no flour to hold them together).Serve with apple sauce, stewed fruit, or fresh fruit.
