I analyze things too much in my opinion. I really don't know why I do it, but I have always weighed the options out and tried to assess the outcome of my decisions before I make them. The problem with my constant analysis is... Paralysis.
You can miss out on tons of cool stuff when you suffer from paralysis by analysis. For example: Sky Diving. You can imagine the laundry list of Pros and Cons I could come up with. For starters, how about the parachute not opening?
However, when I encounter a situation that is Win Win, I blindly jump in! I think Versus Boot Camp is a Win Win situation! But I'm not going to give you a list of Pros and Cons. Instead I'll let you read what some of our Boot Campers have to say about Coach Nathan's camp at Thames Elementary.

I signed up for Versus Boot Camp after much encouragement from my husband who is a member at Versus. I saw how much he enjoyed the workouts and he has had great results but I always said it was not for me. My daughter was 14 months old and I knew it was time to lose the baby weight. I tried several times to start a diet and exercise but lacked the motivation to stick to it. As my daughter became more active, I was finding it harder to keep up with her physically. I was worn out at the end of the day. I had frequent headaches and rarely had any energy. I would always eat whatever was easy and fast which was usually “fast food”. I would always tell myself, “I’ll start my diet on Monday”, but deep down I thought it was so much easier to be unhealthy.
I have lost 15 pounds in six weeks. On the first day of boot camp I could not run 100 meters without stopping. I can now run half a mile without stopping and I actually enjoy just going for a run. My endurance and strength has increased and I feel like I can accomplish anything if I just work hard. I never thought that I would be able to complete any of the workouts, much less enjoy it. I now know I can complete the workouts and I have more self confidence than ever! Bootcamp has definitely improved my family life. My husband and I enjoy telling each other what the workout was like at Bootcamp or the gym. We can actually work out together now. I have more energy to play with my little girl even after a long day at work. I feel better than I ever have. I am so proud of my self for sticking to the diet and being consistent with the workouts. I pushed my self every week to make it further than I had the previous class.
Andrea:
I joined Versus Bootcamp mainly for weight loss and to get my high blood pressure under control. I needed help and motivation to workout consistently so that my health would improve. I also wanted to challenge myself to make healthy nutritional choices.
Prior to Bootcamp I lacked motivation to lose weight. I felt there was nothing else I could try so I decided to work hard for the 6 weeks as a last chance. Physically I would tire doing simple tasks and could only work out for about 25 minutes total.
In six weeks I have lost 16 pounds, drastically lowered my blood pressure, increased my endurance and my overall energy level has improved. I am actually able to jog whereas before I never did any running. I now enjoy challenging workouts which is shocking. Mentally I never saw myself as someone who could follow a strict eating plan and do this level of exercise. Challenging myself has improved my career tremendously. I get more accomplished at work simply because I have more energy. Lastly, my family has noticed the positive change in my mood and attitude. They have started to pay attention to what they eat and exercise as well!
