At the beginning of May I had a dress fitting for my upcoming July wedding. During the fitting it became clear that my attempts to lose weight on my own were not very successful and I needed help rapidly! In a panic I searched online for a boot camp program in Austin and stumbled upon the Austin Adventure Boot Camp website. The next 4 week session was starting the following day at 5:15am. After much deliberation over whether or not I'd be able to get up at 4:45 every morning I signed up. It was the best decision I've ever made in regards to losing weight and getting healthier. It became my challenge to prove that I could make it every day. Getting up was difficult in the beginning, but once I was there I felt so good that I'd made it. At least I could look back after the wedding and say that I'd given my all to get in shape. My greatest personal achievement during the class was succeeding in running a mile without stopping (and doing pushups)! Karen is very motivating and entertaining and plans each morning differently so you don't get bored. Austin Adventure Boot Camp is very responsive to the feedback from attendees. I attended every session for six weeks....on the morning of my wedding I put on my dress and discovered it had actually become a little loose!!! What a change from when I started boot camp!! Now that the wedding is over I am back attending boot camp...I must admit that this time around I have slightly less motiviation to get up 5 days a week at 4:45am, but I'm still mananging 3 or 4 and still enjoying it! Who'd have ever thought I'd enjoy a boot camp!?
Pros: Early mornings so there is no excuse not to go, Instructor Karen
Cons: Getting up so early!
