Kayla’s Journey

When I began my training with Jennifer in January of 2010 (back in her LA Fitness days), she turned just about everything I thought I knew about fitness on its head. She coaxed me out of the bright lights, away from the fancy (aka highly inoperable) cardio machines, and threw me into what most women would consider the “man-cave” of the gym (which is otherwise known as the free-weight room). In a matter of weeks, I was the queen of that man-cave, lifting as heavy and hard as the guys, although sometimes I felt more like the maid (the concept of returning items to their proper places apparently evaded them). I soon became stronger and more empowered than ever before, as I noticed transformative changes both inside and out.

 

A few months into my training with Jen, however, my husband returned from his deployment, and (sticking to the military stereotype of course) we soon discovered that we were pregnant. While I was immediately overcome with joy at the thought of a brand new life growing inside me, I also became instantly concerned about how to stay as fit and healthy as possible throughout the coming months (…and beyond! Yes, I was already dreading the weight I was inevitably going to gain, and have to lose afterward!)  Throughout my pregnancy, I continued strength training at TAISO at least three days a week, pushing myself during my workouts, while also recognizing my own personal limits- which meant modifying movements and taking breaks whenever I felt like I needed to. Jen and Butch helped make this possible by providing alternate exercises as they became necessary.

Jeans Challenge Finale

Congratulations to all the participants in the Jeans Challenge.  All most all the participants dropped one Jeans size and several dropped two!  It has been a great time of sharing and mutual support, and focusing on our habits instead of the numbers has been a rewarding way to focus on what is important. We look forward to the next Jeans Challenge in February or March of 2012.

Saturday we had a great potluck and awarded prizes to the winners. The recipes were that were shared were great and showed how healthy food can taste good too.

 

Becky had perfect scores on both attendance and food journalling, and great scores on her individual habits and home work assignments.  She won a $150 gift card to Nordstroms for some new jeans.

Diana and Kristen were just a few points apart and each received a gift card for a one-hour massage from Bruce Corns (who has great hands according to another lady in attendance!).

And Carolyn won a Murad Skin Care line!

Jennifer received flowers from Diana!  We are looking forward to the next time already!

Thermometer Jeans Challenge

Starting September 6th Taiso Fitness and Nutrition will begin a Thermometer Jeans Challenge.

But what is a Thermometer Jeans Challenge? Glad you asked! It is an opportunity to stop measuring your success by a number on the scale! Here’s how it works:

Brings in a pair of jeans you would like to fit into.
We’ll take a picture of you trying to get ‘em on over a pair of spandex shorts or pants.
We will keep your jeans at the gym and you can try ‘em on throughout the challenge.
You will have 8 weeks to get into your jeans…and
At the end of the challenge you’re a winner if you can say:
“I CAN FIT INTO MY SKINNY JEANS!”
Getting into your jeans is really just a bonus. The real focus of the program is for you to develop healthy habits. And to help you do that we measure your success by how well you adhere to your specific lifestyle habits.
We help each participant select habits that will have the greatest impact on your success. Then each week we award points based on how well you met your personal habit goals.
The contest concludes with a healthy potluck and tiered prize drawings. The more points you have the better prizes you are eligible for including a $150 dollar gift card to Nordstroms for a new pair of (skinny) jeans.
