BEFORE - The fierce Josie with her wee chicklets<\/p><\/div>\n

Introducing the new healthier, fiercer, fitter Mama Chick Josie after an amazing losing 41 lbs and 24 inches\u2013 you are a true inspiration chick!<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Weightloss<\/a>

AFTER - The even more fabulous Josie on her way to a goal of 30 push ups!<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 What made you decide to join FIT CHICKS and start a fitness program?<\/h3>\n

After having my third baby, I definitely needed a transformation!\u00a0 I had gained 40++ pounds and was not feeling\u00a0 great.\u00a0 Seeing myself in pictures was the worst.<\/p>\n

I knew I needed to do something for my body and my mind.\u00a0 I find the gym super boring so I knew I wouldn’t stick with\u00a0 it.\u00a0 I decided to join a bootcamp and found FIT CHICKS online.\u00a0 I decided to give it a try and I’m so happy I did.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 What \/ who has helped you in reaching your fitness and weight loss goals?<\/h3>\n

Anna at my Don Mills Bootcamp<\/a> is a fantastic Chick Sergeant – she has great energy and is very motivating!\u00a0 Each class is different and offers variety which keeps me motivated. I look forward to each class..which I never thought could happen!<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0 What is your fave FIT CHICKS workout? Which exercises do you love to hate?<\/h3>\n

Tabatas!<\/a> The intensity of it is great.\u00a0 When I think I cant keep going I just keep telling myself its only 20 seconds!!!<\/p>\n

My most love to hate exercise is push ups. When I started my first bootcamp I could barely\u00a0 do 1 pushup on my toes. Now I’m up to 15, working my way to my next goal of 30!<\/p>\n

Also the Plank! Who knew that an exercise that requires no movement is so challenging.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0 What have your results been like since joining bootcamp and starting to live la vida FIT CHICK?<\/h3>\n

Since my first bootcamp in May 2010 I have lost 41 lbs and\u00a0 24 inchesoff my body.<\/p>\n

I feel stronger and healthier and I have more endurance and\u00a0 energy.\u00a0 I feel so much better about my body and I am happier\u00a0 overall.\u00a0 It’s amazing what exercise can do for you inside and out!<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0 Any parting words to chicks who are nervous to start something new or try a bootcamp?<\/h3>\n

Fit Chicks is a fun and motivating environment!\u00a0 Its a great way to relieve stress and make time for yourself. The workouts are challenging but you feel such a sense of accomplishment when you are done. I love it!<\/p>\n

Josie, we are so proud of you and how you have drastically changed your health<\/strong>\u2026it is so inspiring to all mama chicks who are starting (or already started!) living la vida FIT CHICK that they can do it too (and teach their families healthy habits!) Thanks for allowing us to help along your journey and keep up the fabulous work!<\/p>\n
