R.E.A.C.T. Camp at McCarren Park

Welcome to the R.E.A.C.T. Camp Blog!

If you’ve clicked on this link, you’re probably looking for fitness tips, reviews, workouts, tasty yet healthy recipes, and more info about R.E.A.C.T. Camps’ awesome classes. Well you’re in the right place.

But, before we get into any of that.

Just a quick little intro.

My name is Jessica Lum, I don’t have an exact title of my position. But I guess you can say I’m the editor, blogger, assistant, exercise model (I get to try all the awesome new exercises that are created), and many other things. I wear many hats, er sneakers?

BTW, I also have my very own food blog where you can also find healthy recipes at Little Girl Big Appetite. Feel free to visit me there!

My passion for fitness really began to take its form about 3 years ago. Prior to that I had no clue what I was doing in the gym. I’ll admit to picking up the light pink weights and doing cardio for hours. I stayed slim, but never quite got the results that I wanted. That toned, fit,strong and sexy figure that I always saw in those Shape magazines.

Until I met Mr. Emran Riaz. Slowly but surely he taught me the proper techniques in weight lifting, the fundamentals and benefits of plyometrics and overall a better understanding of how the body feels and works with various techniques of cross training. There were times I wanted to throw a weight at him, but I wouldn’t be where I am today and feeling totally awesome about the strength I’ve gained.

It’s definitely not something that happens in a few weeks or a few months. It certainly takes time to make the positive changes in your life. If you’re already reading this, then you’re already one step closer

How was everyones’ weekend? Mine was awesome because we lucked out and Saturday was absolutely gorgeous for our Free Beginners’ Training Session at McCarren Park! We had a great turn out and everyone definitely got a good sweat and workout!
