Getting back in shape
Some women regain their slim figures very soon after giving birth. Others get back in shape months later. I don't fall into either category. My older kid is 9 and my younger one 7 years old already and I'm embarassingly overweight.
I've tried ediets, running, treadmills and all sorts of diets. At one point, I actually lost 20 pounds, but regained it all back in 3 months due to bingeing in the office, miserable with my job at that time.
Last week, I finally took action. I started working out with Billy's BootCamp Elite. It is the new weight loss, getting in shape program by Billy Blanks. The guy who created Taebo.
For the first week, you do Mission One Getting Started workout. It is a 30 minute workout that tones the entire body. After day 1, my husband noticed the difference. After day 4, he mentioned that my tummy doesn't hang out as badly as before. After giving birth to my 8 or 9 pound baby, my tummy looked like a huge empty bag that hung there from what is supposed to be a waist. Sounds gross? Looks gross anyway.

Billy’s BootCamp! Blast into shape in 7 Days!
That claim is true. If you follow the workout and eat sensibly (there is a 1,400 calorie a day diet you are to follow for the first 7 days) you will see results.
Mission one tones the entire body and left my sides aching the next day. Mission two, maximum power, works really hard on your arms, legs and butt. For moms with spreading butts, this is a boon. As for the arms, the workout targets the flabby bits under your arms that jiggle when you move. I did that workout today. It is 45 minute workout that is tougher than the first, but still a lot of fun.
I look forward to Mission three, rock solid abs which I'll start next week. I want to whip that humongous belly in shape.
The workouts are really fun. So full of energy, thanks to Billy, Shelly and the entire team that demonstrates the workout on the video. Quite addictive too.
These days, I like starting the day with a Billy Blanks workout. I feel great after every workout. It puts me in a good mood and boosts my energy for the rest of the day.
If you are a mom with a baby or kids, I strongly recommend you try it in the morning to help you get in great shape and give you the energy you need to take great care of your baby.
