Debbie and I have been married for over 27 years. We pretty much do everything together. We gain weight together, we lose weight together, and we gain the weight back together. Our lives have been a yoyo. Both of us had reached our highest weight, Craig approaching 300 pounds and Debbie getting up there (a woman never tells her weight). Our lives were spinning out of control and we had pretty much given up. We knew we needed to implement a diet program and start some form of exercise, but we just were not very motivated to stay with any one thing. Then it happened! I was online looking at a retirement and planning website when I came across a life expectancy calculator. I answered the questions and was shocked with the results. Debbie finally said that we needed an intervention. She wanted me to look up Extreme Boot Camp™. The word “Extreme” was a little frightening, but being a good husband I typed it in and we checked it out. We were reading thru the testimonials and started to get excited. We then started looking at the trainers and I could not believe it, one of the personal trainers was one of my grammar school friends. He was my age and looked great. We went down and signed-up for the next session.
Our 21-year-old daughter, Melissa, decided to join the program with us. She had been a club swimmer for years and after graduating from high school, she stopped working out but continued to eat and ended up gaining weight. She joined a gym, but like so many others she ended up paying for a membership that she did not use.
What we like about Extreme Boot Camp™ vs. the gym is that there is accountability. The instructors take attendance, review your food journals, challenge you to give it your all, and introduce exercises that we would never have thought of.
The Chapman family has completed two 6-week sessions so far. We are extremely excited about the results. Debbie and I have lost a combined total of 38 pounds and 36 inches (that is one yard by the way). Melissa has lost seven inches off of her hips alone. I went back to the life expectancy calculator and changed three of my original answers. I put in my goal weight, the number of times I am exercising, and changed the type of foods I am eating to low fat. The results were amazing; I increased my remaining life expectancy by 50%. I truly believe that a combination of exercise and proper diet cannot only prolong our lives but give us a better quality of life as well. We can honestly say this is one to the best decisions we have ever made.
Between the extreme boot camp classes our daughter takes and the beginner’s class that Debbie and I attend, Extreme Boot Camp™ has something to offer to all ages no matter what shape you are in.
