First of all I want to remind everyone to check out the
new September
class schedule as some classes will change. I'll post
if there are any additional changes due to limitations
in daylight. I also wanted to welcome all the new people
to Boot Camp this month. You've brought amazing weather
and added to the dynamics of the group. Finally,
congratulations to everyone who ran in the Hoboken 5K
Against Crime and Drugs on August 4th.

| Eating
Late |
|
|
Is
it bad for you to eat late at night? In general the answer
is no. What's more important is to break down your daily
caloric intake into many smaller meals throughout the day.
This provides your body with a constant source of energy
and helps prevent extreme hunger that can lead to poor food
choices and binging.

Exercise and Eating |
 |
Ever wonder if you should eat before working out? Ideally
you should eat something because it will provide your body
with much needed energy, especially if you haven't had anything
to eat in 3 or 4 hours. The amount you eat however depends
on how intense you plan to workout. For lower intensity workouts
you can probably get by with a regular meal. If you plan to
run or do high intensity, high impact exercise you will be
better off having a smaller meal of more easily digestible
foods.
