  • She lost 14 pounds and 5 inches in 4 weeks
    By JoAnn Manzella on April 7, 2009 | No Comments  Comments

    Well, we just completed our 4 week “Belly Blasting Bootcamp” and wanted to share with you an incredible story.  Jill, one of our dedicated, hard working and focused members, accomplished amazing results.  Hear what she had to say:  

    “I cannot say enough about the recent Boot Camp Challenge I did with JoAnn and Antoinette. It’s perfect that the name of their company is “Jump Start to Fitness”- because that’s exactly what this was to me! I embraced the entire program wholeheartedly and lost a total of FOURTEEN pounds and 5 inches! This program, which I did in conjunction with a healthy diet and three delicious, all-natural weight management supplements from Pure Inventions (www.pureinventions.com) really turned my life around! 

    Their knowledge and expertise in exercise physiology enabled them to train us individually while teaching the group as a whole. Aside from our varied and never-boring workouts, we were also challenged with worksheets and hand-outs when we went home. One night we were even invited to listen to a certified clinical nutritionist speak at Antoinette’s home. That’s what I loved- it was sort of a “whole body” approach to fitness. The encouragement and support they both offered were incredible. I can definitely say that I had fun, made friends and most importantly, I feel great. I have made what I hope to be lifelong changes in my diet and exercise regime. I would highly recommend this program to anyone at any level looking to make a healthy change in their life.”   -Jill Dalton

  • Benefits of Kettlebell Training
    By Antoinette DePierro on April 3, 2009 | No Comments  Comments

     Are you interested in burning fat, building muscle balance or increasing your strength and stamina!  Then kettlebell training is for you.

     

    Kettlebell training started out as a “manly” activity, but because of the phenomenal results achieved, it didn’t take long for housewives, celebrities, female athletes and grandmas too, to start reaping the benefits.

    For those of you who don’t know what a kettlebell is, let me explain.  Imagine a black small bowling ball with a suitcase handle on it.  It’s a hunk of iron that comes in several sizes and weights, ranging from 8lbs to 97lbs and for those super strong men and women, 105lbs.  The unique value of kettlebell training is derived from ballistic (fast exercise) work.  In addition to giving you incredible muscular endurance when done in high repetitions, any excess fat that you have will melt off rapidly.  If you want to lose weight and tighten up your glutes, quads, abs and arms, begin a kettlebell training ballistic workout, along with some low rep kettlebell strength workouts and you will be ready for your bathing suit and summer fun!

    There are many great benefits of kettlebell training for women.  It helps you tone up and lose fat without over developing muscles.  Building muscle is not easy for men and it is especially not easy for women, so building muscle should be the least of your worries.  It’s kinda like worrying about making too much money.  Remember though, fat loss is 70% diet and 30% training.  A healthy nutritious diet is very important.  Kettlebell training is extremely effective in ramping up your metabolism. 

     Start your kettlebell training now and get the following benefits:

    • Fat Loss  -  Kettlebell’s provide intense fat burning workouts. 
    • Strong Bones and Joints  -  All kettlebell exercises are load bearing and help bones regain and maintain strength.  Kettlebell exercises are gentle on joints as there is no impact.  Many women notice joint health and improved range of motion when doing kettlebell training.
    • Strength without bulk.  Kettlebell training increases strength without bulk.  You can enjoy a strong lean body and look like a fabulous women.  Noticeable improvement in strength and endurance can be achieved in as little as 7 days.
    • Endurance and Stamina.  Kettlebell training will build endurance and stamina without running.  Many women athletes chose kettlebell training as their cross training tool.  It’s easy on their joints and incredibly effective in strengthening your cardiovascular system.  If you don’t have time for a run, grab a kettlebell.
    • Muscle Balance and Function.  Kettlebells force your body to work as one unit.  As a result weak links are revealed and fixed.  Your body regains proper muscle balance and improved functionality.
    • Confidence to handle anything that life throws you.  Kettlebell training is functional!  As a busy mom, trying to balance all that you do, from loading and unloading the trunk, moving furniture to playing with the kids in the park, you will have the muscle balance, strength, stamina and flexibility to do it all.  Enjoy improved quality of life and live your life to the fullest.
