HEALTH & FITNESS with Les Mills Looking better, feeling fantastic! Two Les Mills Look Better Naked participants share their experiences with Channel Magazine readers.

I decided to join Look Better Naked (LBN) as a friend recommended it to me after she enjoyed seeing the results herself. I wasn’t a member of Les Mills but I could still join up to LBN for a bit extra cash than a member. I didn’t mind this as it gave me the opportunity to see how well I would do and also, during the six week program of LBN, we were able to use the gym like a member. This worked perfect for me as I used the gym to shower and get ready for work instead of going home after the 6am workout. I couldn’t afford to spend money on myself, but I decided to go for it, treat myself and do something for me. My trainer was Chrissie, who was great as I needed a strong trainer pushing me. I loved the small group of ladies because we had the same agenda and fitness; in other words, ‘in the same boat’ normal everyday women. Training three times a week gave me the weekends free. After a while you start to feel good which makes it easier to continue. It is amazing how much effort we put into everyone else, but this is something for yourself. LBN starts you on your weight loss journey, I loved it and it motivated me to keep it up. I now do boxing and have lost 19kilos since first starting LBN last year.

Michelle After seeing the amazing results that fellow workmates at Benefitz were achieving at Les Mills Bootcamps, and the fun that they were also having, I decided that I needed to get active and fitter too. However, being a woman in her mid forties I had real reservations about Bootcamp being too hard, and decided that the Les Mills six week Look Better Naked programme was more suited to me. I liked the fact that it was with six other woman, all with the same goals in mind - get fitter, eat better, loose a bit of weight, tone up, and have fun. I also liked the fact that it wasn’t done at the gym, but at a venue nearby, so there was only the group you are working with around you. Although I have always walked, I had never really done any cardio workouts, so this was a big challenge for me. I very quickly came to look forward to the three early morning sessions each week, and always felt amazing afterwards. And yes, I was definitely challenged – it was hardwork but I loved the team spirit that built up amongst the group. It was really rewarding seeing the results of six weeks of hard work. My clothes fitted better, my body felt more toned, my diet has improved, but best of all I felt great. In fact so great I did another Look Better Naked almost straight after the first one, and then believe it or not I did actually go on and do a Les Mills Bootcamp and it was hard, but I did it! Look Better Naked definitely set me back on track in terms of fitness. I would recommend it to all woman who want to get a bit fitter, who want their clothes to fit better, and who want to eat better no matter their age or level of fitness.
