California Mom Gains Energy, Sheds Weight with Baby Boot Camp
A faithful Baby Boot Camp student since June 2007, Jillian S. originally started attending because she wanted to lose weight before her cousin’s wedding just two months away. She also wanted to be svelte for maid-of-honor duties in her best friend’s wedding that was to come soon after. Her son, Edwin, was born in April ’07 and the two go to classes in Sunnyvale, CA. With regular Baby Boot Camp attendance, she attained her weight-loss goal, plus some.
“I never expected that five and a half months after having a baby I could wear pants that I didn't even fit into right before I got pregnant,” says Jillian. “It's so much fun to go shopping in your own closet … cheap too! Everyone kept telling me I was going to be so tired with a baby in the house, but I have so much energy. I can finally take advantage of that energy boost exercise is supposed to give you.”
The piano teacher and first-time mom continue to take classes so she can keep getting stronger and build jogging stamina, set a good example for her son and be fit for a second pregnancy. “Getting stronger and feeling good is sort of addicting. I hate missing class, which is why I only miss occasionally!” quips Jillian. She and Edwin also enjoy the company of other moms and babies.
“Because of the atmosphere and class structure, Baby Boot Camp is a fun, pain-free way to workout,” says this outstanding mom.
