Tracey, 41 years old, 9 months pregnant with Rian
After
Tracey 2 and 1/2 months after starting Bootcamp, down 30 pounds!
How did I lose 30 pounds in 10 weeks? Bootcamp. Last Sunday I filmed my 20th fitness DVD and by far my best! TOTAL BODY BOOTCAMP - We filmed 6 Bootcamp workouts yesterday, 3 Metabolic Conditioning and 3 Strength.
This workout is like NO other workout you've seen; not even the really popular ones you see on TV. The Bootcamp I go to is SERIOUS. They take no prisoners, and you have to be invited into it. If they don't think you can do it, they don't want you.
After the birth of my son, I was 41 years old and struggling to lose the extra 30 pounds I still had after his birth. For 4 months nothing I tried worked. I didn't lose a pound. On January 4th, 2011, I joined Farmington Valley Fitness Bootcamp and after 5 minutes of getting my butt kicked, I knew this was the answer to my weight loss prayers!
Day after day I went to my Bootcamp class and put every ounce of energy I had into my workouts. "You get out of it what you put into it" "go hard or go home" "there is no tired" "you can be tired when you are done" - these and many other sayings were DRILLED into my head 6 days a week. After just 2 weeks of workouts, people started commenting on my weight loss, people I didn't even know. After a month not a class would go by that someone didn't say something to me about my progress. It brought me to tears. I had struggled for months to lose the weight and nothing worked and now all of my hard work was paying off. It felt great! Many people asked me if I was the same person who just had the baby - they didn't believe it!
Needless to say, I lost 30 pounds in less than 3 months. And for those people who say baby weight doesn't count, I BEG to differ, especially when you are over 40 and just had two babies back to back; it does a number on your body. I fell in love with the workouts and knew I had to share them with everyone who seriously wants to get fit for real. For 3 months I wrote down everything I ate and every workout I did and created my new Total Body Bootcamp. I even have 2 of my Bootcamp coaches in the DVD with me. One of them, Dustin Linden, is coaching 3 of the workouts - if you guys like Josef, wait until you meet Dustin! You're going to like him just as much. Dustin is also an MMA Fighter and just the most gifted motivational coach I've ever met. On days where I physically could not do one more rep Dustin made me do it and made me stronger and leaner and more fit than ever. Every person in these workouts with me is from my Bootcamp classes. They are REAL people. I wanted to make a series of workouts that are unlike anything you've ever seen.
Stay tuned for clips of the workouts and for presale information...
Good for you, Tracey!! I'm 33 weeks with Baby #2 (and I never lost all the weight from #1 before getting pregnant again) and your step workouts have been keeping me IN SHAPE--I didn't have them the first time around and I've only put on a fraction of the weight I did the first time. In fact, I weigh less now than I did at this point in my first pregnancy and step workouts have been the difference.
ReplyDeleteSo far I've only tried your step DVDs, but I LOVE them and I've been thinking I'd like to do more of a Bootcamp-style workout a couple of times a week to whip me back into shape after this baby is born. You have read my mind!
(I'm seriously not exaggerating about your DVDs, last week I posted on my own blog about how she copies me if she sees the step left out. Here she is rocking out to Step Sweatfest!)
Too cute, Ashley!
ReplyDeleteAshley! That is the cutest thing I've ever seen! Your daughter is a DOLL! She reminds me of my Scarlett. Every time I go into my basement to workout out she comes down with me and says "Mommy Kicks" and tries to copy what I'm doing, it's so cute!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your pregnancy and believe me when you are ready Total Body Bootcamp will be waiting and it will EXACTLY what you need, I guarantee it! ;-p
