The wanna be "Jillian Michaels"

As we talked about in our email, Jaqui the wanna be "Jillian Michaels" has made great strides since she's been a Plumbline chick. When she started, correct us if we're wrong, June 07' she just had twins and wanted to get in shape fast... As most women would feel after having twins. She didn't have a back ground for lifting weights or any specific routine that she did prior to starting. She came in wanting a change and needless to say, she came to the right spot.

At the time, her current trainer worked in Gold's Gym trying to recruit people into the program. She signed up for group training a couple times a week and totally committed her life to eating right and staying up with her workouts. [Pre-Jillian] That summer she also joined in the boot camps which begun doing camps in Waterford (her home town) because of her addiction to program. At the time she wouldn't even attempt to jump on a 20" plyo box. She would result to modifying that exercise because (you come up with your own reason why she didn't. Who knows?).

Back to the group sessions, one of the exercises that we do is a bench press. As you should know, a great way to determine upper body strength. Well, Jaqui started with 45lbs. and maybe only completed 15 reps. Not too bad for someone who had no prior lifting experience. But just this last week, she completed 20reps (EASY!) with 65lbs. and jumped on a 26" high plyo box for her PR (personal record). [Post-Jillian and beyond!]

We are very proud of you Jaqui and appreciate all the hard work that you put into your workouts. Keep conquering all your goals!
