Special One-Week FitCamp In October With Former ‘Biggest Loser’ Contestant Isabeau Miller

You heard me talk all about it the past month, do a fun-filled series of YouTube videos during my experiences with it, and then learn some invaluable lessons in the aftermath of going through it. It’s FitCamp featuring former “Biggest Loser” contestant Isabeau Miller and to say it has changed my life is an understatement!

Since being home for the past two weeks, I have been a madman going to my local gym to do spin classes, step classes, hour-long sessions with my personal trainer, wall squats, parking lot suicides…YOU NAME IT! I’m motivated now more than ever to be as fit and healthy as I can possibly be and I thought I was before. But Isabeau showed me I had the potential to do even more than I was doing and I’m grateful to have had the opportunity to be a part of something as special as this in August.

Because of the popularity of the FitCamps she conducted in both July and August, Isabeau has decided to have another one in October for anyone who is interested. This FitCamp will only last one week long and there are only THREE MORE SPOTS available on a first-come, first-served basis. She is limiting the number of FitCampers to just 6 people this time around so they can provide “personal and hands-on” training for all of the attendees. We had eight in our group and that was pushing the limits of this approach.

Your FitCamp package includes a one-week stay at a very nice hotel with a kitchenette, pool, and other convenience amenities, all of your transportation to and from the FitCamp activities, 3-5 hours of daily workout sessions with both Isabeau Miller and her personal trainer Jacob Carringer, a week’s membership to the state-of-the-art Franklin Athletic Club where you will enjoy classes like Pilates, spin, yoga, Zumba and more, all of your food in a fully-stocked refrigerator and pantry for the week, nutritional and weight loss advice and so much more than you could even imagine!

Here is the cost breakdown for you to attend FitCamp 3:

Single room- $2,500
Double room- $2,300
Triple room- $2,000
Quad room- $1,800

Registration will be closing on October 1st or when they reach full capacity, so take advantage of this ASAP if you are truly interested in this life-changing event. FitCamp takes place in the Nashville, Tennessee area, so you are responsible for finding your own transportation there. To inquire about coming to FitCamp in October 2008, simply e-mail Isabeau Miller at isabeau@isabeaumiller.com. I know she’d be THRILLED to hear from you and help get you on the pathway to success in your fitness!

Here are some frequently asked questions about FitCamp:

Q: I am interested in Fitcamp, however, I feel like I may not be able to keep up. Will my age/weight/injuries affect my ability to participate?

A: In the past, we have had several age ranges at FitCamp from 22-60+. While we do require all of our FitCampers be a minimum of 18 years old, as long as you are WILLING, we will help work around your other concerns. There is no such thing as being “too old”, “too young”, “too big”, “too small”, etc.

Q: I have certain dietary restrictions such as low-carb, low-salt, etc. Can those be accommodated?

A: We have had low-carbers, diabetics, asthmatics, etc. all attend FitCamp and we are HAPPY to work around any restrictions you may have.

Q: I don’t know if I could/should work out 3-5 hours a day, and I think that’s a little extreme, don’t you?

A: FitCamp should not be looked at as an introduction into an entirely new lifestyle, but rather a jumpstart into your best health ever. The concentration is on getting FIT and you will leave feeling accomplished, empowered, and healthy! We create a realistic program for you to follow at home upon leaving FitCamp that is completely do-able for the average, working adult.

So there you have it! If you want to experience what you think is impossible for you now and watch it become a glorious reality in your own life, then you owe it to yourself to sign up for this special weeklong October 2008 FitCamp with Isabeau Miller. It WILL change your life…it certainly did mine! E-mail Isabeau Miller at isabeau@isabeaumiller.com TODAY!

    Unfortunately, Isabeau does not have the experience to run such courses. Someone will become injured and she will be sued. Her courses are outrageously expensive given her inexperience. Caveat emptor.

    I’ll admit I’ve been confused by the sudden flood of contradictory messages put forth here by ol’ Jimmy in the last month:

    Before FitCamp…

    1) JIMMY has made many proclamations over the years that carbs are bad and unnecessary, even for world-class endurance athletes, as to be expected on a site such as LLVLC.
    2) JIMMY has denigrated the approach of Dean Ornish, Mr. Low Fat, as being unhealthful (to put it mildly).
    3) JIMMY has featured a number of low carb advocates and experts who have expressed the opinion that exercise does not help people lose weight through calorie burning (Gary Taubes?).
    4) JIMMY has featured a number of low carb advocates and experts who have warned about the downside of excessive exercise on the body (Remember Fred Hahn? Dr. Mike Eades?).

    Jimmy then goes to FitCamp…

    1) JIMMY begins to include bread and fruit to help him through the workouts because he’s dizzy (electrolyte imbalance?).
    2) JIMMY is participating at a camp where counting calories and low fat foods are emphasized (strawberries are only 2 calories each…).
    3) JIMMY works out “like a madman” at a camp where burning lots of calories through intensive exercise is stressed (one estimate was 6,000), and responds to criticism with “If you don’t agree with this method for losing weight, then don’t do it. I can tell you that FitCamp is a combination of BOTH cardio and strength training which is a VERY good way to get healthy and lose weight.” Note the “lose weight” part.
    4) JIMMY works out for 4-6 hours per day and proclaims it GOOD! (at this level, I don’t think it matters if it’s a strength training and cardio mix).

    As Jimmy likes to say, HUH?! Is it OK for Jimmy to alter his course, change his mind, or explore other avenues of getting fit and losing weight? OF COURSE! But there is a big difference between WANTING to push yourself to the limits of your capabilities and believing that you NEED to in order to become fit. If the participants got what they wanted out of their FitCamp experience, GREAT. My message has been simple: it is NOT necessary, nor advisable, for overweight, beginning exercisers to workout for 4-6 hours a day. I truly thought that the NO PAIN, NO GAIN philosophy had been put to rest by fitness experts a long, long time ago. Just call me perplexed (I think I have just a touch of whiplash…).

    THANKS for sharing your concerns, Katy. But you’ve clearly stated your opinion that the amount of exercise we did at FitCamp is unnecessary and we’ve heard it. My response to that is merely that this is what I have CHOSEN to continue doing about 1-2 hours a day to feel as fabulously fit as I have since FitCamp. Nobody is making me do this…I’ve chosen to do it willingly for my health. The exercise I am doing is a combination of both cardio and strength training–something I only realized in the past year is what I should have been doing all along. During my 180-pound weight loss success in 2004, I did upwards of an hour of cardio every single day and I credit it in my weight loss quite often. I got away from that in the past couple of years, so this is merely a recommitment to what worked for me before. THANK YOU again Katy for expressing your opinions, but this is what I need to do for me right now. Again, if you choose not to do it, that’s fine. But I would expect you to respect anyone who chooses this pathway for themselves. As always, I appreciate your comments.

    –Jimmy

    I regret that you continue to classify and dismiss my posts as simply my “opinions.” Furthermore, I must object to your admonishment, “But I would expect you to respect anyone who chooses this pathway for themselves.” Is disagreeing with your current position being disrespectful? I don’t consider challenging your apparently wavering positions as disrespectful. I guess I must apologize for paying attention to you and your guests.

    Here, from your blog site and from the Low-Carb Examiner site, is a bit of advice and your response. Have you changed your mind? Do you no longer feel this advice is valid?

    From 20 effective fat-loss tips from the author of The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution and noted fitness expert Fred Hahn:

    19. RESIST THE URGE TO OVER-EXERCISE

    Avoid excessive amounts of exercise. Too much exercise makes cortisol levels rise which in turn causes muscle wasting and can aid in fat storage. You do not receive benefits from exercise when you are exercising. You receive the benefits when you are resting and recovering from the exercise. If your eating habits are proper, you do not need to try and burn off additional fat via exercise. You’ll save yourself from orthopedic problems as well.

    Note from Jimmy: It seems logical–the more you exercise, the more calories you can burn off and weight loss will happen. And yet there is the risk of inflammation from doing too much exercise and the cortisol issue as Fred explained. This is a controversial recommendation since most people don’t get nearly ENOUGH exercise. But I’ve seen the workaholics in the gym who spend hours upon hours beating their bodies to a pulp trying to salvage every last bit of energy out of themselves thinking that’s gonna make them a lean, mean fighting machine. In a word, NOPE! Get in a solid workout, eat healthy low-carb meals with plenty of fat and protein, and let your body do the rest. It’s no more difficult than that!

    Also on the Low-Carb Examiner site, you hail Dr. Eades (“That is why today I nominate Dr. Michael R. Eades, MD for President of the United States of America”) as a health and fitness leader. As you know, he and his wife cowrote Slow Burn with Fred Hahn. They also are opposed to excessive exercise. Have you read the book? Has it occurred to you that maybe doing “upwards of an hour of cardio every single day” has backfired? You have also stated that you wished that you had NOT done only cardio when you were losing your 180 pounds. Obviously you can do whatever you wish, but as a public spokesperson, there are a great many people who will take your words and advice to heart. Please don’t claim that I’m being disrespectful by utilizing a bit of critical thinking or by pointing out the contradictions in your writings.
