WOW!!!! Thank you so very much to everyone who put together this contest, you are all amazing for giving me this opportunity! I’m so proud of loosing so much.  I feel more confident then ever before and believe I now have the tools to continue this on my own.

This past month and a half has been one of the most stressful times I’ve ever encountered, school work, finances and a death in the family have taken their toll however, I’ve managed my stress by going to the gym, and not sitting on the couch feeling sorry for myself

Thanks for this amazing experience, it has changed my life in so many ways, I’ve begun eating proper portions and getting a more restful sleep because of a better diet and exercise routine. Working with out with Jodi has taught me to prepare in advance, you know, snack bags of fruit or veggies. 

I’m now totally into living a healthier lifestyle!  I’ve actually purchased a bike and trailer for my girls to ride along and that, coupled with my sister’s MP3 player, and we’re hitting the road instead of driving or taking a bus. 

I am truly grateful to everyone who has given me this opportunity to become more healthy and active.  From the bottom of my heart and on behalf of my family, thank you.  You’ve helped save my life!  God Bless.

With the nice weather and entering the final month of the contest, we are focusing on workouts that the team can do if they are short on time and can’t make it into the gym. The best workout that can be done anywhere and burns alot of calories is outdoor jogging. Once a week the girls are taking it outside. We start with a walk/run routine. This is the best way for beginners to start running without the pain. It gives your muscle recovery time before the next interval starts.

Their bodies are still continuing to change. As a team they are down another 6.5″, totaling 27.5″ and 25lbs off the scale.

Keep working hard team, I know you can do this!!!

So Shapes Pembina has the much talked about TRX which is trainer Jodi’s favorite thing in the world, seriously, she started talking about this weeks ago and how it was going to be awesome. Well, we’ve all tried it and yes awesome, as an all body workout but at the same time, mother, is that [...]

The team gets a taste of the TRX training system. Using body resistance for each exercise, the girls get a different feel then they did doing the circuit training. The TRX uses every stabilization muscle in the body helping to increase the heart rate and uses the core for every exercise they did. This is one of the best [...]

 I recieved this email from Gina, and I think she speaks for a lot of us and our old habits…
We are all doing amazing…it’s definitely not been easy, for me especially but if it wasn’t for shapes and WBL, I would probably still be sitting at home wishing and complaining about my weight!! This week [...]
