Here I am, two months into personal training and the results were not what I had been hoping for.  I've been feeling stronger and clothes have been fitting better, but the body-fat changes I was hoping for weren't happening.  In fact, I've been losing the muscle mass I've been working so hard to get.  Why suffer through Chris' fun but brutal workouts only to lose muscle? I think I had fallen … [Read more...]

I am feeling great! I have more energy and am eating the right foods. I know I wouldn't workout on my own so I am really grateful for boot camp and the friends that I have made.  I like being with a group of people that want to get their energy and life back. I am doing push-ups which I never thought I would do. I am working to do push-ups on my toes instead of my knees...and the same goes … [Read more...]

Ten weeks of training and I’m really noticing results…  I feel so much stronger in my work outs and definitely toning up!  Yay:) I find the hardest part of the work out is getting there, but once I’m going it feels great and I’m done before I know it. It’s starting to feel a part of my weekly routine and I don’t like missing any work outs. Chris’ expertise in guiding my … [Read more...]

What a week!  My husband and kids just returned from visiting family on the east coast for a month, my school work piled up and, of course, my regular work here at AlaskaFit.  But I did find a way to keep up with my Boot Camp workouts...it's a good thing they're at 3 different times during the day...it let's me work it in when I can. I just got some new Energy Chews from Shaklee and wow! what … [Read more...]

Wow... today's work out was hard.  I went on a business trip and missed my sessions last week.  I packed my suitcase with running shoes and work out clothes feeling sure there would be time for a couple walks or 30 minutes of interval exercises in my room but none of that happened. So I woke up this morning knowing that I had a session with Chris and I just wanted to cancel.  I was behind at … [Read more...]

I am still loving the workouts.  Even I'm surprised at that.  I am not giving up and I can feel myself getting stronger!  I'm getting compliments from friends and yes, I love it. I still don't like burpies but am getting better at them, especially when Chris or Mike show me how to do them right.  The truth is, I wouldn't be exercising if someone wasn't there to correct me and keep me … [Read more...]

My workouts are going so great!  After only six weeks and I tell the difference in my body's strength and cardio endurance. I was able to do a 2.5 mile run, first time in 10 years! And, I can outlast both my boys doing planks! It can be so hard to get to the workouts at Powerhouse with Chris. I can think of so many other things I should be doing at that time not to mention feeling tired and … [Read more...]

Boot Camp is GREAT! I am seeing results, my fellow boot campers are seeing results and I feel wonderful. I am eating right and learning a lot about nutrition as I start to make healthier choices.  I'm learning a lot about my bad choices, too.  Here's something really cool...because of my healthy eating, my hair and nails are thick and growing fast! Every morning, I am drinking my Shaklee … [Read more...]
