In case you haven't heard yet, there are only a few spots left for HEAT's amazing Pre-Labor Day Workout Party, which will kick off a three-day weekend of fun in the sun on Friday, Sept. 3, at 6 p.m. sharp by toning and targeting all the muscles you want to look good when you head out to the lake.

This is one workout that's sure to get you sweatin' while also keeping you engaged -- we've booked Video DJ Mighty Mike (of Six Lounge), who'll be spinning hot tracks on the big screen to make sure you stay motivated as Cody and special guest trainers Marshall Priest and Brannon Gilliam push you to the max. We'll also be serving up delicious (and energizing) electrolyte shots (non-alcoholic, of course ... ) to give you a post-workout pick-me-up. And every participant will leave with a goody bag full of fitness-related freebies to help you stay on track to reach your goals.

The cost is $15 at the door, and you'll want to check in at 5:45 p.m. at the HEAT Warehouse to get ready for this body-slamming session. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today and email Cody at heartbootcamp@yahoo.com to let us know you're coming! Hope to see everyone there!

A few weeks back, HEAT gave new meaning to the term "stair workout" when we gathered at the Frost Bank Tower to help make a video promo for the American Lung Association's 2010 Fight for Air Climb event (coming up on May 15). Campers ran from the 1st to the 31st floor in a timed challenge, with the winner completing this amazing feat in only 5:58!

Short workout, you say? Oh but there was so much more! Once campers made their way to the top, the real sweating began. In a space with a 360-degree view and an open floor plan, we mixed more stair runs with push ups, wall sits, jumping jacks, bear crawls, partner sit ups, planks and other exercises to complete an intense 60 minutes of drills. In all, every camper ran over 95 flights of stairs (just 7 shy of the Empire State Building).

Hey gang -- Just a quick reminder that F.E.M Camp with Monica Brant (and me!) starts tomorrow night at 7 p.m. It's not too late to sign up, and $269 gets you an entire weekend of co-ed workouts, bootcamps, seminars on fitness and nutrition, speakers, social activities and tons of goodies. Get off the couch and learn to box with the best, step into the Bod Pod and put your knowledge (and your body) to the test!

Call or email me ASAP if you're interested. Camp runs through Sunday, April 11, and ends around 2 p.m. I hope you'll join us!

HEAT Boot Camp's first-ever "Workout for a Cause" is centered around getting fit and giving back to the community. This hour-long boot camp will benefit one of our special teammates, John Sanchez, whose brother has been battling lymphoma for several months and has seen major improvements. John and his family have been greatly supported in their fight by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. It's John's mission to help raise money to give back to this great organization.

Come help John reach his $3,800 marathon goal by working out! Each  participant's $10 minimium donation for this special session will go to help LLS lead the fight against blood cancers. Feel free to recruit friends, family members any anyone else you know who'd like to get sweaty with a bunch of friends and contribute to one of the worthiest of causes!
