I received one complimentary one-month Camp Gladiator for the purposes of this review. However, all the views and comments expressed are my own.
About a month ago I accepted the mama challenge to participate in one month of Camp Gladiator. I didn't know what to expect and to tell you the truth I was scared I couldn't hang with the group - especially since I'm not the most coordinated individual to begin with plus my "extra luggage" probably didn't help the cause either. However, my true desire to be a healthier person for me and a healthier example for my kids was enough reason three days a week to set my alarm clock for 4:40 am and make it to the 5:15 class.
But thankfully from good music (a fundamental must for me), interesting routines, and a great attitude from my trainer, it gave me the incentive to see it through. I was pretty skeptic that much could happen in the 12 camp sessions I attended during the 30 days, but at least it could get me into a very much needed routine of getting up early and working out (which is the only time I have available to exercise even though there are CG times available all day and all over DFW.) So every day I got up, sweat my ass off and got stronger.
The recommended CG plan includes meal recommendations as well as additional cardio days for campers to complete on their own time for achieveing maximum results. While I tried to maintain a moderately healthy diet plan, it wasn't as stringent as it could be. Additionally, my only additional cardio was my awesome Friday Spin Cycle class at my local YMCA. Needless, to say, I wasn't doing myself any favors. But at least I was getting up and going.
So after one month it was time to compare my first day's measurements with my Day 30 measurements. I'll admit, I was nervous, but there was nothing I could change at this point except to continue to do what I was doing or do even more. No matter what. So the big reveal begins:
Arms: Lost .5 inch
Chest: Lost 2 inches Waist: Lost 1 inch Hips: Lost .25 inches Thighs: Lost 1 inch I was pretty excited, but can you imagine what could happen if I stepped it up a little for another month?Luckily for you this month Camp Gladiator is celebrating its 5th year of changing lives and 500 camp. So to share in the fun, they are offering MAMA CHALLENGE READERS their normal $95 camp for only $50. That's a pretty good deal when you compare it to any other fitness plan you can sign up for (believe me, I know because I have done many of them.) Just make sure you write down: Autumn Reo in your referral!
I'm signed up for my second camp and I'd love for you to join me. Especially since I just decided to add another two extra days onto my schedule for five full days of Camp Gladiator. And I can't wait to share those results with you then too! If it is your first camp, make sure you read up on 10 great tips for making the most of your first Camp Gladiator!
