When Anna joined bootcamp, she was very clear on the changes that she wanted to make when it came to her health. With two children to take care of, Anna wanted to have the energy to keep up with them and to get back into great shape.

She explained that going to the gym and doing the same old treadmill routines were just not working for her anymore. She simply wasn’t seeing results.

After just a few weeks in bootcamp, here’s what she had to say:

“Going to bootcamp began to shape so many more muscles than I ever knew existed! The weight loss and physical improvements that occured were changes that I didn’t think could happen. I started to feel stronger, more lively, and more energetic with my children. I was also eating healthier than ever before which gave me an amazing sense of satisfaction and clarity.”

By the end of the 12-week “Your Best Body Challenge,” Anna had lost over 25 lbs. (25.6 to be exact!) and has done a complete 180 in terms of her body shape, energy level, and lifestyle. Instead of meeting up with friends for cocktails, she’s inviting people to go hiking and spend time outdoors being active.

As for her “old” life?

“I will never go back to the poor food choices I was making, the lack of exercise, and my life has truly changed.”

She’s one of the most energetic of our early-morning bootcampers and says that she misses those 6:00 a.m. classes when she can’t go.

“I enjoy just being there, doing such wonderful things for my body and sharing the experiences with people who want the same things and live active and healthy lifestyles. I feel like I am finally seeing the person that I have wanted to be.”

She’s back to being an active mom and dedicated bootcamper. Congratulations to Anna for accomplishing her goals and bringing such a positive energy to our bootcamp community!

Who wins the biggest category of all?

Whoever brings in the most money for this event will be crowned Our Grand Prize Champion will receive 3 full months of our Unlimited Fitness Bootcamp Training Program! Unfortunately…we don’t know who the winner is yet because the money is still rolling in this week!

So, keep the money coming and I’ll keep you posted!

I have to ask, because OMG…my arms (and my shoulders and my abs…) are talking to me today!

Despite having some sore muscles…Pushups for Charity was a huge success!!!

Thank you EVERYONE for coming out and participating in this very fun event and helping to raise money for a very worthy cause.

And also thank you to ALL OF YOUR SPONSORS! Even if they weren’t there cheering on all the pushup participants, they are going to be opening up their checkbooks and pocketbooks this week giving their donation based on your hard work and effort! So thank you!

We have TONS of great footage and pictures coming out to you over the course of this week, so stay tuned!

Also, as the money keeps coming in this week, I’ll keep you posted as to how much we raised.

Our goal is $5,000. I want to see if we can BREAK that goal over the next few days!!!

Enjoy the pics and get ready for some AWESOME PUSHUP STORIES~

With less than two weeks to go before the big event, everyone is getting excited to raise some money for a very worthy cause!

I promise it won't be this hard!

But I must dispel a few myths right now.

There are a few of my very close Bootcampers who are totally dogging out of participating in this event. The reason they are giving?

They’re intimidated!

I can’t believe it!

How Have I done that? How have I created a charity event that feels intimidating?

• Running a marathon for charity seems intimidating to me.

• Riding my bike from San Francisco to L.A. for charity seems intimidating.

• Walking THREE DAYS STRAIGHT for charity seems intimidating.

But 90 seconds of pushups? I’m totally confused.

I actually thought this would be the least intimidating of all! Even if you’re totally out of shape, wrapping your mind around 90 seconds of just about anything seems more doable than a freaking marathon!

So because it seems some people are intimidated, I would like to get clear and share with you EXACTLY what will happen on April 17^th at 9am.

• 9am: Show up, meet and greet, get excited. You’ll receive your pushup card, a pen so you can record your number.

• 9:05am: I’ll start the event with an introduction, and I’ll make sure to mention our proud sponsors.

• 9:15am: Our world class instructors will take you through a nice dynamic warm-up to get your body warm and ready to do some pushups!

• 9:25am: We start doing pushups! You will not be doing pushups by yourself!!! We will all be doing them at the same time! No one will be watching you except to encourage and cheer you on for 90 seconds!!!
  

• 9:35am: You did it! You’ve helped raise money for a very worth while charity. It was easy and fun! I’ll talk a little bit about the charity, mention the sponsors again, and probably have some surprise goodies up my sleeve for everyone that comes!

• 9:45am: We will announce the winners for the event: (some of the categories are: 1. Most pushups 2. Most sponsors 3. Most enthusiastic 4. Best excuse for trying to getting out of doing pushups 5. Most money raised 6. Best face while doing pushups

• 9:55am: Get on with the rest of your day, OR stick around as we announce all the winners and give away even more really cool prizes for the grand finale of our 12-week Best Body Challenge!
