mojo stories…Michelle H.

I finally found something that I wanted to stick with.

I was a competitive swimmer from ages 8-18 and played year round water polo all four years in high school. In college, I would go to the gym and use the elliptical machine sporadically. Post college, I could not find a workout program that I could stick to. I would go to the gym for about three weeks then take nine months off without fail every single year. I got very comfortable on my couch. About six months before my wedding, a close family friend bought me the Mama Bootcamp Living Social deal. She told me, “Lorri Ann has changed my life. You have to try Mama Bootcamp.” From my first class I was hooked. I had finally found something that I wanted to stick with.

I think it was a combination of the challenge, the motivation of all of the coaches and seeing other women of all different shapes, sizes and abilities succeed. Within my first six weeks I had lost 7.3% body fat and 26.25 inches. By the time my wedding came, I had to get my wedding dress taken in over an entire dress size, which was the best feeling in the world- the seamstress even said: “Why on earth did you buy this size? This is not your size!” I said: “I was when I first bought it!” That was the best feeling. Mama Bootcamp has literally changed my life in so many ways. I have learned to make myself a priority by scheduling in my Bootcamp classes each week...I look forward to them at the end of a long work day. I have completely changed my food habits by adapting clean and healthy eating that Mama Bootcamp teaches us. I find myself getting sick less often and having more energy to get through my daily routine. My favorite days of the week are the days that I get to coach. One of the days I coach is on Monday evenings and without fail, I have several mamas who before class starts will say, “I really had to talk myself into coming tonight” and after every class they say “I am so glad I was here! I feel so much better.” I love being a part of the Mama Bootcamp team and getting to spread the Mojo and positive juju all across the Mojo land!
