Hey Chicks, we are very excited to announce of September Chick of the Month, Linnea Nord! Linnea has made a fabulous transformation since joining G.I. Jane Bootcamp. Check out our interview:

FC – How long have you been sweating up a storm at G.I. Jane Bootcamp?

LN – Since February 2009

FC –  What have your results been like?

LN – I’m very pleased with my results!  I’ve lost 3.5 inches off my waist, 2.5 inches off my chest, 2 inches off my arms, more than 2 inches off my hips, 4 inches off my “posterior”, and 2.25 inches off my thighs. On top of the inches lost, I’ve lost 19 pounds! I went from a size 16 to a size 10.

FC – What were your top 3 goals when signing up for GI Jane Bootcamp?

LN – My goals were to lose weight, gain strength and have more energy for my two young boys (aged 3.5 and 15 months). I can happily say that I’ve achieved all three, but want to continue with the program to keep my stamina up.  I have so much more energy now than I did just a few short months ago. Walking up flights of stairs and lifting heavy bags are no longer
an effort.

FC –  What is your favourite exercise?

LN – I like the weight lifting and leg squat exercises.  I can really see the muscle definition in my arms and my legs are a lot stronger too.  Aside from lifting my children, I don’t do any weight lifting outside of class, so I’m amazed with my results!

FC –  The idea of bootcamp can intimidating! Did you feel comfortable when you got there?

LN – Yes, very much so!  I am 43 going on 44 and I was a little apprehensive when I first joined.  I was worried that everyone would be at least 20 years younger than me and I would feel horribly out of place. Not only were there a broad range of ages and sizes in the class, my instructor Amanda was extremely encouraging and welcoming. I never felt too old or out of shape to be in the class. Everyone was encouraged to work at their own level. We were shown the different levels for each exercise so that we could work at our own pace.

FC –  What is your definition of a FIT CHICK?

LN – My definition of a FIT CHICK is someone who is healthy, happy and strong!

We are SO proud of you, Linnea! Keep up the great work!
