This is the second in my 3-part series of amazingly useful boot camp marketing tips. Read on and good luck!#11 Give Your Workouts a ThemeWe're not talking about the music, but some motivational approach like; "Today the theme is commitment." It will help motivate your campers throughout UGG Retro Cargo Boots the week.#12 Know when to QuitIf you come across a workout that sounds like a great idea, but doesn't work out, pass by it. There's simply no sense in doing something when you already know it doesn't work.#13 No One Left BehindNo one should be standing around waiting while others finish. It ends up making everyone uncomfortable.#14 The UGG Roslynn Boots "Go-2" ExercisesOne of the most important parts to your routine is not ever looking like you're struggling to find the next thing to do. Your routines should like you already had them planned out UGG Adirondack Tall Boots even if you didn't.In any case, you'll have these handy "go-2" drills to turn to. They will save you time and time again.#15 Don't Take Correcting From Your ClientsI'm serious! If someone tries to correct your counting just say; "I'm only counting the perfect ones." It shuts them up every single time!#16 Burn Out the Bigger GuysIf you have really strong guys in your class, but you're using light weights, just burn 'em out first. A good example is making them do 40 pushups before doing a light dumbbell press. Then again you could have them walk 60 yards at a 90 degree angle holding dumbbells before doing some curls. Once you make them hurt before each exercise they'll respect you and feel like they're getting their money's worth.#17 Have a Good Memory on NamesAh yes, one of the key boot camp marketing strategies is building that deep connection with everyone. If you're not good with names, the first time you meet them come up with a rhyme like Trim Kim. It definitely helps.#18 In-Class TestimonialsAsk one of your clients what kind of results they are seeing. Say something like; "Debbie, How much weight have you lost?" Maybe she says she's lost 12 pounds and it has been around a month. "Awesome job," you say. "Hey everyone, I just want to say one thing real quick. Debbie already dropped 11 pounds this month. Great job, Debbie."This will pump up your client like you wouldn't believe, and gives proof to everyone else in the boot camp.#19 Concrete Time and NumbersIf you give your clients a certain amount of time and number of reps, it makes them work a lot harder.#20 Don't Have Boot Camps with Beginning and End DatesTaking this route eliminates all the people who want to join in between. It's possible that someone can't make it until the fourth class. You could lose a ton of income this way. So just have open-ended dates.You also don't want that 2-week break after a session ends. There will be a lot of individuals who feel rested and won't come back, plus you have to deal with sign-ups all over again. In the end just getting out of the routine makes it much harder.Just offer everyone auto-debit continuity programs.Then again, if you need a break yourself from all of these boot camp marketing strategies, have other trainers ready to teach your camps.

Imagine what it will sound like when they make a putt.
The first official day of practice at the Ryder Cup served up a reminder that while Europe has only one rookie on its team — Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium — it has plenty of others who only know what it's like to play before the home crowd.
"We talked a lot about it and there's no doubt, playing at home is a big advantage," Peter Hanson of Sweden said. "We saw it last time in Wales, and we have seen it over here in the past. So I think it's just something we have to deal with, and we have to be stronger this time than we were the last time when we won by one point. So if we are going to get that cup back overseas, we know we have to perform very well."
Home advantage is said to be worth one point, the very margin that decided the Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor the last time out.
Hanson joins Rory McIlroy, Martin Kaymer and Francesco Molinari as Europeans who played their first Ryder Cup before a home crowd. Perhaps they can get some advice from Graeme McDowell, who made his debut in Kentucky four years ago.
"There's no doubt, there's a world of different between playing in front of your home fans and playing in front of the U.S. fans," said McDowell, who lost his opening match at Valhalla with Padraig Harrington. "Putts that drop in front of your home fans was like a bomb going off, and putts that go in this weekend will be like someone's got a silencer on. It's kind of a muted applause."
What stuck out for McDowell was the par-3 14th hole at Valhalla, which had a huge hill on both sides creating an amphitheater filled with fans, mostly dressed in some variety of red, white and blue. Whenever the home team won the hole, the cheers resounded across the course.
McDowell wonders if the par-3 17th will be similar.
"Our goal this week will be trying to get as many of that muted applause as we can, holing our own putts," he said. "There's something interesting about missing a putt and having the cheers go up. That's something we are not used to as golfers. But I think it's something you've got to accept this week, and I'm looking forward to it.
"The days of hostility, I think, are gone," he said. "We'll see. ... Should be a lot of fun."
Vahalla first showed off a high-charged gallery in the 2000 PGA Championship, the memorable duel between Tiger Woods and Bob May that Woods won in a playoff for his third straight major. The Ryder Cup brought the same kind of energy.
But this is Chicago, one of the best sporting cities in the world, and certainly on a grander scale than Louisville.
"I have a feeling that Chicago might be even more boisterous," Justin Rose said.
Rose also was a Ryder Cup rookie in America, playing on that European team four years ago and succeeding, at least as an individual. He went 3-1 that week, beating Phil Mickelson in a singles match to keep alive hopes.
Ultimately, the United States delivered a win for the home crowd. And while Europe has dominated the Ryder Cup by winning six of the last eight times, the Americans have lost only twice at home since then — at Oak Hill in 1995 and Oakland Hills in 2004.
"Having played more and more golf over here, I feel more ready for this Ryder Cup than I did the last Ryder Cup," Rose said.
The last time Chicago saw golf at the highest level was last year in the BMW Championship at Cog Hill, which Rose won by two shots. So he has that going for him.
"But I don't think you can sort of ever know exactly what to expect with a Ryder Cup environment," Rose said. "It happens so rarely that we get to play in this environment that you just have to roll with it, I guess, and feed off it and be resilient out there, as well, because there's going to be a lot of things that happen on the golf course that ... just aren't normal to you."
It's not unusual for the Ryder Cup, though.
This is what the Americans went through in Wales, Ireland, England and Spain. Now it's Europe's turn to either tune out the gallery or find a way to silence it.
"It will be obviously in our favor, just like it is when we go over to Europe," Tiger Woods said. "But hey, it's part of the deal."
