Cathleen's Story
I thought getting into shape would be easy, that’s what I told myself. How could working out be hard? I prepared my own fitness routine which included going to the gym, getting a personal trainer and working out all of the time. I thought that the more time at the gym, the more weight I would lose, the more in shape I would be. The thing is it didn’t seem to work and then I began to feel a lack of motivation and desire to work out.
First, I didn’t understand nutrition so I was not eating right. Second, with the way I was working out I did not see any results. As a consequence, my weight went up and down throughout the years. I was lost and upset at myself but I still wanted to get into shape. I watched bootcamp shows on tv and decided I would give it a try. I saw the advertisements in the neighborhood and thought “yes I will do it”. I signed up online and began my new journey.
Belinda made it easy to fit right into the program. She taught to each level of fitness which made it easy to start and build up as I went along. I learned so many new things about myself and what I was doing wrong in the past. One of the major aspects I learned was how to change my eating habits with the 80/20 rule. That is, losing weight is 80% diet and 20% cardio. Also, to be fit I needed to incorporate strength training into my routine.
It has now been eight months and I’ve lost weight and toned muscle I didn’t know that I had. Starting bootcamp motivated me to add new experiences and challenges in my life. I started running, which is something I never thought I would or could do. I can’t believe the shape I am in and how much it has changed my life. I can’t even imagine not having this lifestyle; staying healthy and fit.
Thank you, Belinda.
