Jan has lost 28 pounds and two dress sizes and she's still shedding weight!
Jan says, "The Perfect Workout trainers get so much out of me. This is the best thing I've ever done for my body."
When you're in France, you have to say yes to croissants, right? When
Jan Montgomery traveled to Paris two years ago, she didn't. She was
struggling with her weight and didn't want to make it worse. "I tried
everything, including video workouts, small hand weights with high reps,
and walking up and down hills. Nothing seemed to work," she says. "I
was desperately looking for something that would work for me." When she
got up to 168 pounds last year, she decided to get rid of "the
unacceptable pudge" once and for all. On a recommendation from friends
who were already clients at The Perfect Workout, Jan went all in at
once, signing up for 50 sessions right away with personal trainer Del Mar.
Jan started losing weight slowly and getting stronger at the same time.
The slow motion strength training had the combined effect of raising her
metabolism, burning fat, and adding muscle tone, more than any exercise
she had done before. "None of it was quick, but all of it was steady. I
realized, this is what works for me." Incorporating a low-carb diet as
well, Jan went from a tight size 14 to a comfortable size 10. She's well
on her way to her goal weight of 125 pounds, and can't believe some of
the things she can do now, like leg press 300 pounds. Her knees don't
hurt going up stairs anymore either. "I didn't think I'd be happy with a personal trainer, but this is so encouraging. They get so much out of me. This is the best thing I've ever done for my body."
The other thing Jan loves about Del Mar personal trainer is how quick it is.
The whole workout, including time driving to and from the Del Mar
studio, only takes an hour. That gives her a lot more time to do the
things she loves. An avid gardener, Jan has 18 rose bushes, Delphiniums,
and a Torrey Pine tree in her yard. She loves reading, playing bridge,
and her latest passion, the Chinese game Mah Jongg. Jan and her husband
have been married for 47 years and have twin sons, both in California.
Now that she's found something she can stick with, Jan has no plans to
stop. She wants to continue losing weight and says "getting stronger
can't hurt." She found that out when she returned to Paris in May.
"Because of my new stronger muscles, I was zipping up and down stairs
and leaving all my friends in the dust." She didn't say, but we're
guessing she also had a well-deserved croissant or two this time.
