Best Body Challengers Tell Their Stories

Leave a Comment

I am thrilled with the success that Your Best Body Challengers are having.  We’re barely halfway through the 8 weeks and not only are challengers losing pounds and inches, they’re looking and feeling great, finding energy they didn’t know they had and just finding success everywhere.  Here are their stories:

Ginny,

I just wanted to send you a quick note to let you know how much I’m loving these workouts. It’s not just the Sunday morning workouts, but all the ones you’ve challenged us to do during the rest of the week. I’m down about 8 lbs since I started but more importantly my “saddlebags” are disappearing!  For sure that has always been a problem area of mine and your challenge has taken my workouts to the next level.

I think the one thing that I have learned that has been the most helpful is the rest period. The brief 5 – 30 seconds that we get to recover before moving to the next exercise or next set has really enforced how important breaks are. Sometimes I push myself too hard and I have really enjoyed the classes!

Thank you so much!

Hi Ginny

I thought I’d drop you a note at our half way point check in for our challenge.
I feel great.. I have been very conscious about my nutrition, I make a list at the beginning of the week ‘ a food plan’ and it has really been helping me stay focused on healthy eating during the week.  I choose a protein from your list a carb from your list, and am eating a lot more vegetables.  I’m consistently at 6 meals a day.  I am down 4 lbs.  which of course I’d like to be more, but I’m happy with progress.
In addition to the Saturday boot camp, I have tried one of your sponsors class,  Hot Yoga at Anchorage Yoga.  I have also been adding resistance training 3 x a week, and some cardio 3 x a week mostly on my bike at home.  Swimming 1 time/ week.
I am just coming off a heel injury and have been switching my work out routine to accomodate that ( less pounding), and am hoping to be coming to more of your September boot camps and have told a few friends about the next challenge at work.
Thanks so much for the inspiration.  I feel good progress.. I can see some muscle definition in my arms and legs, feel stronger in my core, and more focused on my goals.

Ginny,
I am so glad I took the plunge and joined your fitness challenge. I am inspired to work out more and eat healthier than I ever have before. It has taken me a long time to feel like I really can control my own body and health. This past Sunday I was able to get in 2 hours of Alaska fit with your program, then in the afternoon I biked 45 min. to a 1.5 hr. yoga class. And I could still walk the next day! Doing the challenge for 8 wks seemed excessive at first, but now I am thinking the opposite.
Thanks for everything,
Cindy (9 lbs. lighter and at least 2 ” off my hips)
