When I first signed up to do Bootcamp I had already lost 60 lbs. on my own. I was stuck though. Stuck in the same way of eating and stuck in the same way of working out. With Clem’s help, I was able to break through barriers I didn’t know I had. For example, I never thought that I could run. I could barely make it around 1 lap at a high school track. But, Clem’s constant encouragement, practical advise and, endless positive energy allowed me to see that I can do anything that I set my mind to. I now run 5K’s and (get this) think they’re FUN! With Clem and Adventure Bootcamp you don’t just get a work out. You get an experience that will change your life, if you let it. While I have more work to do to achieve my goals, thanks to the Bootcamp experience, I have the ability to see myself achieve those goals and that’s the first step.

A very special gift from this boot camp experience was a comment my husband made about 20 minutes after the Kent Cornucopia 5K Fun Run/Walk;
"Honey, you have a glow about you and I don't mean from the sweat from the race. Your skin has a really great color and your eyes look brighter. You are really looking good these days."
And guess what? I believed him!
Inspiration is intoxicating...my husband walked over 3 miles with me this morning and he loves the menu planning idea! I thank you for your words of encouragement and your desire to help others to "believe" they can create and design their own attitudes!
Thanks ladies!

It has been so much fun working out with you. You've motivated me to stick to my goals and not be so critical about the numbers on the scale and my appearance.You make bootcamp a lot of fun!!! You've challenged me and pushed me to always improve. That's exactly what I wanted. The past four weeks have been a fun, motivating, and inspirational time.

About 15 months ago I received an interesting invitation in the mail. I was invited to join an all female outdoors Boot Camp. The picture on the front of the post card depicted several young ladies in an exercise pose. The back of the card was a brief description of what to expect and a phone number to call for more information. I had exercised all my adult life but recently was experiencing a plateau of sorts. My workout was becoming repetitive and I had a few nasty pounds that wouldn't budge. This invitation seemed like a gift of fate. But, the ladies on the card looked young and fit. I wondered if I would feel out of place. I decided to call anyway and spoke to Clem. She was very interested in my concerns and my needs. We made an appointment to meet in person. At that visit I realized that Clem, though appreciative of my insecurities, would not allow them to get in the way of progress. She agreed that every Boot Camp member needs to work at her own pace but the goal is to increase the challenge. However, after registering for a 4 week class, I made it very clear that I don't run but would walk or power walk. I hadn't run for many years and didn't trust my knees.
A lot has happened between that first meeting and today. But suffice it to say that one Boot Camp turned into eight. I learned that the ladies who joined, month after month, were of different ages and different levels of strength and endurance. And very individual personal goals. Yet everyone worked as a Team to encourage and support each other. And not in achieving physical strength, but in the power of confidence and positive thought. I learned how to make a few changes in my meal plan that boosted my metabolism and assisted with shedding those stubborn pounds. Power walking was boring me so I started to run and discovered my knees were just fine! I took my running and Camp work out routine home and exercised on non-Camp days and the weekends. I learned I could do whatever I wanted to physically. All one requires is desire and a positive attitude. And that is exactly Clem's agenda.
Fifteen months ago I believed I had reached my peak performance for my age. Today I am 25 pounds lighter. I am running 30 miles weekly and am registered for my first half marathon. I am stronger and faster.
My name is Sandy Madden and I am 56 years young.
