How do you feel now in relation to when you started the program?

 

When I started the program I was bloated, lethargic and totally unmotivated – possibly all due to having two children in as many years! I felt like I was in a real funk.

 

Since completing the ‘5 Week KickStart’ I now jump out of bed in the mornings ready to start the day, even the 2am feeds are no problem!

 

My self esteem has risen a huge amount, now I can fit into my old clothes again, some of them I haven’t worn for nearly three years, it’s like having a new wardrobe. On the whole I am starting to reflect the way I feel – a young (well at heart at least) happy mother of two beautiful girls, who can get off the couch without assistance to play with the kids without wanting to sit and watch.

 

How was your personal training experience with Rob Libeau in the Camira Personal Training Centre?

 

The privacy of the centre was fantastic, I am not quite ready for the entire world to see my jiggly bits – so until they are a little firmer I really like the fact that I can concentrate on Rob’s training session without being self aware.

 

I have trained with several trainers both domestically and internationally, and I have to say I am really impressed with the personalized service that Rob provided. It surpasses the ‘service’ you get at a regular gym by a mile! I have never been offered a towel by a gym instructor let alone had assisted stretching which I believe to be the key of why I have less muscle soreness than what I have experienced in the past.

 

Remember the 80’s mantra…‘no pain no gain?” Rob showed me how you can achieve gain without pain! Rob has the knack of pushing me to the point of the best workouts that I have had in my life for maximum results, even when I am having a slack day he manages to persuade me to dig deep and find the motivation that was lacking.

 

How was your Infrared Body Wrap experience? Did you find it beneficial? Apart from the losing 8.3 Kgs and 69 centimetres, do you believe it helped your recovery after the birth of your two children in relatively quick succession?

 

I recall after my first wrap thinking that I have never been so bloody hot in my life!  But almost immediately I felt like I had just completed the most intense and enduring workout ever. This feeling lasted for days, which was great as it just spurred me along to want to maximise the effect of the training and healthy eating as well.

 

The benefits of the Infrared Body Wraps was obvious to me from the very first session, I noticed an impact on my ‘tuckshop’ arms, and my skin tone and elasticity - not to mention my orange peel thighs and buns! To my delight the wraps have continued to help with all the above further. I believe that it had a huge impact on paving my road to recovery and weight loss.

 

I am one of those fortunate individuals to have a GP who is young, progressive and open minded to the benefits of using Allied and Complementary health in conjunction with conventional medicine.  But even she was impressed with the healing of my C-section scar when I attended the six week check up. In fact she put my recovery, physically and emotionally weeks ahead of where it was expected, particularly considering it was my second C-Section in two years.

 

Do you believe the massage assisted in your recovery from the birth and the training program with Rob?

 

Being only 152cm tall I have worn high heels practically from birth, coupled with the strain of the 2 pregnancies on top of each other - particularly the second the back pain I suffered from my youngest daughter has me in tears many times by the end of the day.

 

I found that the massages by John were invaluable in my recovery from the entire pregnancy ordeal as it enabled me to move when some days it hurt to simply walk!  When I first started to train with Rob, it was as big as a shock to my body as it was having the girls. This was due to having a very, very, very sedentary life style for the previous two years. The massage helped with the recovery time which meant that I was able to hit the weights quicker and continue to shed the pounds.

 

Would you recommend the KickStart Body Management Program to others?

 

Would I do it again and recommend the KickStart to others? The short answer is YES!!!!! It has changed my entire life, it has given back my motivation to be fit and healthy, has assisted my mobility, and opened my eyes to the path of healthy happiness. In fact I am so impressed with the program and service of both ‘Robert Libeau Personal Training Services’ and ‘Indulge Your Body’ that I have decided to continue with the ‘KickOn’ program so I can continue to get the optimal results from the wraps, massage and Rob’s personal training sessions.
