We were lucky enough to go during a really unpopular time. It was the end of the season, and the weather had potential to be extremely hot. That combined with a series of scary things happening to tourists near the Mexican border, and a plague of swine flu caused all of the other campers to bail on their reservations, leaving Emily and I alone with 3 personal trainers who also served as our personal tour guides for our 6 day stay. 6+ hours of physical activity a day, with fresh, fabulous food and gorgeous scenery. It was absolutely amazing.
the staff at Bikini Bootcamp 2009: Carla, James, and Kiya (the 2 regular peeps in the front are Emily and myself)
The reason I am posting about it now is because I think our stay there was partially responsible for my attitudes about fitness today. It was a physical, emotional, and personal challenge to focus on ourselves for that time, and to be separated from all of our technology and responsibilities. I don't think I could thank the staff enough for their impact on me.
We spent the most time with Kiya and James (who are now married, Mazel Tov!), and I have followed them both on facebook since we got back. I was very excited to see that Kiya was featured on the cover of Scottsdale Health in June (you can see here feature on the website here)!
I just wanted to spend this post giving a shout-out to Kiya and James for continuing to do such amazing things for the health and wellness of people and the planet. You guys are fabulous!
