Breast Cancer Foundation Benefits from Superwomen Boot Camp Summer Fitness Challenge

Folsom fitness expert and owner of Superwomen Boot Camp, Val Fujii is proud to announce a $1,200 donation to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation on behalf of all the participants in Superwomen Boot Camp’s Summer Fitness Challenge. The challenge was a voluntary fitness competition, with great results, for the foundation as well as participants’ health and wallets.

Challengers paid an entrance fee for the challenge. Each took “before” pictures and had a weigh in and body fat calculation in the beginning. Each week there was a weigh in and body fat calculation.

Winners split a money pot of $1,300 and were also awarded other fabulous prizes totaling more than $1,800, such as massages, facials and weekend stays at vacation locations. Winners were split into 40-years-old and older and under 39-years-old, and chosen based upon highest percentage of body weight lost and highest body fat percentage reduction.

“I am so proud of these women. Everyone talks about getting ‘bikini-ready’ for summer, but these women actually did it. They were so dedicated to their fitness that they lost more than a combined 160 pounds,” says Fujii.

Winner Cindy Massa says, “Since joining Superwomen Boot Camp, I’ve lost 30 pounds. I didn’t realize that I would also lose 8% body fat, gain confidence and completely change my life style.  It wasn't about just losing the weight but it was about a commitment to myself. I am forever grateful to SWBC for helping me reach my goal on my deadline in July, when I will be celebrating my 25th anniversary with my husband in Hawaii. I just bought my first bikini!”

Home Workouts

According to Fujii, Superwomen Boot Camp is not your typical ‘hard core’ boot camp – no one is going to yell in your face or intimidate you. It is a positive, empowering program designed for women of all ages and fitness levels. The training philosophy involves the use of multiple functional movements done in a circuit-training format for maximum fat loss and muscle toning. Only the most effective exercises are done, which is why participants see significantly faster and better results in only three workouts per week. And no workout is ever the same, so no one gets bored. In addition to obtaining impressive results, participants have fun and receive the support of other women that are looking to achieve the same goals and level of fitness.

“Our boot campers range in age from high schoolers to women in their 70’s,” says Fujii. “It’s great to see the women supporting each other and recognizing their successes.”

The cost for Superwomen Boot Camp is just $99 per month, which equates to only $8.25 per camp if attended regularly three times per week; an unheard of value in the healthcare industry.  The membership includes a nutritional plan for a complete health and fitness plan. “I’ve made Superwomen Boot Camp affordable for all women. It is a great value because participants receive the benefit of a personal trainer, the energy of a group fitness class and the expertise of a nutritionist at a very reasonable cost,” adds Fujii.

Superwomen Boot Camp meets at 118 Woodmere Road, #100, in Folsom, across from Harley Davidson. There is also a Superman Boot Camp and soon there will be a Super Kids Camp. For more information, call 916-337-4780.

Val Fujii, NASM CPT, PES, is the owner and founder of Superwomen Boot Camp and is a local Folsom and El Dorado Hills fitness professional. He is available for interviews or to discuss other story ideas related to women’s weight loss and fitness. He can be reached at 916-337-4780 or via email at info@superwomenbootcamp.com.

Protection from Free Radicals Protection from free radicals is very important if you want to maintain a healthy skin.

Basically, free radicals are molecules that don’t have electrons so they attach themselves to other molecules that could be harmful. Free radicals can damage the skin tissue, which is the primary cause of skin ageing. In order to keep the free radicals away from your skin, you need a powerful antioxidant to counter the invasion. Fortunately, the 2 Minute Miracle Gel contains green tea extract, which is a strong antioxidant that can protect the skin from invading free radicals. The product also comes with burdock root extract that can also soothe, heal and detoxify the skin.

The double layer of protection from green tea extract and the burdock root makes the product a strong fighter against free radicals.3. Safe for Sensitive Skin Numerous skin products can provide great benefits, but many of them contain harmful chemicals that may cause damages, especially for those with sensitive skin. Luckily, the 2 Minute Miracle Gel is mainly composed of botanical ingredients that have no major side effects. However, there are also people who may suffer allergic reactions from aloe vera, green tea, burdock root or other ingredients found in this skin treatment  product.

Fortunately, Ice Elements added calendula extract that can balance out the effects of other ingredients in a way that it will be safe even for those with sensitive skin.4. Moisture Restoration Moisturization is very crucial to make the skin healthy, soft, and smooth. The 2 Minute Miracle Gel contains hyaluronic acid that helps in the restoration of moisture in the skin. The product provides enough moisturization so the skin will have enough oil content to avoid dryness, and to increase skin elasticity.
