Testimonial from Muscle Lines client of the year!!!!

February 18, 2010

My name is Desiree when I met Sandra my health & fitness had been long forgotten about & put on the back burner. I had given up on any hope of getting back on track. I had begun to try and except myself the way I was. Five years prior I was 70 pounds lighter & the passing of my Grampa had effected me on many levels.

When I first met with Sandra my expectation was “not to lose weight” as I believed that it wasn’t possible. I was only looking to tone my muscles lol…

I began training the following week in January with light cardio and weight training. Sandra also recommended I start to clean up my lifestyle with a few changes. First change was to take out the white carbohydrates then take my sugar load down eating as natural as possible.

By May I was surprised to see after my reassessment that I had lost 20 pounds and started to feel different. I couldn’t believe what minimal effort’s could do, and began to be curious with the thought of “what if I followed the program to the letter of the law? What would happen then? With a new found belief that Sandra’s programs really work I decide to recommit to surrender to all of the program with out question. I began in June to really focus on my daily & weekly goals that where set out to produce results.

At this time Sandra was getting ready to compete in Ms Physique contest and had encouraged me to come and watch. As I am sitting in the audience watching still very far away from my original health goal, never mind contest stage condition I get this feeling of strong belief, that I could possibly have a total transformation beyond believe if I chose to follow Sandra’s guidance.

So I decided to share this thought with Sandra as crazy as it seemed she seemed to believe and want the best for me. Despite the seemingly unrealistic goal of contest shape I took the idea to Sandra that day. After I shared my vision Sandra look at me and said “Let’s get started”

All the past things I had learned to be true for health and fitness where all about to change and my commitment was to be much more demanding if I was to in fact realize my new found goal. My new stage ready program was going to require every last bit of discipline physically & mentally if I was to achieve this crazy dream. As the month’s went by the impossible started to seem more obtainable. Physically my body was rapidly changing but is was evident that new type of work was needed mentally to prepare for the un veiling of my new body.

The list of things to learn out side of working ou and feeding myself properly felt like a daunting task. We began working on things like what category would be suited. Here is the list

  • suit selection – swim suit
  • costume design – sport’s wear theme
  • evening wear & glamours look
  • hair and make up for all three different looks
  • skin colour
  • posing practice & walking style on stage
  • Then working on finding the confidence to pull this off.

It’s now April and realize that if I hadn’t made this new goal of stage ready I would have reach my health & fitness goal. W I was now living in a much healthier and beautiful body .everything was about to change again. If I wanted to go from average fit girl now

Now that my goal is to get stage ready and look and feel better than average. I now realize that the rest of Sandra’s team is beginning there intense programs for the stage as well and I am right along with them. Everything was well calculated and the intensity now was all out.

The next few months had proven to be difficult as I realize my mind hadn’t caught up to my new body.
So with more mental work Sandra prepares me for my final UN veiling on stage.
She keep me focussed and supported me with confidence that I in fact deserved to be there amongest the rest. What a life changing experience !!!!!!!

Sandra’s coaching is in valuable. She believed in me & encouraged me when the fact’s seemed impossible.
“If Sandra is able to drastically transform someone that was in desperate need like me, just think what she can do for YOU”

Here are some stat’s that I still can’t believe My upper thigh when I started was 28 inches the same size that my waist is now that I am transformed!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Sandra for the life changing experience… and helping me reach all my goals…

Sandra is worth her weight in gold to me

Sandra is worth her weight in gold to me…First she helped me to develop self discipline and consistency in my training. Second she taught me about nutrition, what to eat and why. However, most importantly she gave me the gift of believing that if I followed her guidance my body would reach what my mind could not have imagined.

I am thankful for her passion!

Sandra has been a wonderful help in preparing me for the Figure stage. I hired Sandra to help me build confidence and create a style that I was
comfortable with. We practiced the T walk and posing that is required for figure competitions. With Sandra’s experience she helped me pick out a suit color & design that would work best for my physique. Sandra also helped with make up selection and application for my important day. Sandra has been a HUGE asset to my successes & competition wins.

Thank you Sandra

The most important thing that I want to pass along is Thank-you!

Sandra,

The most important thing that I want to pass along is Thank-you! Without your guidance and support I would not have been able to reach the fitness and health goals that I had set out for myself.

As you know I had gotten far away from my fitness, after being somewhat effortlessly in shape through my teens and early twenties the dreaded metabolism set in and by 30 I suddenly did not recognize my body anymore. That was when I finally made the decision to get back to taking care of myself and I enlisted your help to do so – best move I ever made! You not only helped me lose weight but transformed my shape by guiding me to put muscle in the ‘right’ places but even more importantly you helped me to transform my thinking!! It was in my head where the real problem existed and your guidance through changing my thinking was the most invaluable thing I have ever learned.

There was many times where I wanted to take a short cut or I whined about a certain part of my workout or food routine and I always smile to think of your response which was typically something like ‘you either want to do it or you don’t’ there was never any lecture or reproach just a simple statement of the facts as they were. I soon realized that if I wanted to do it my way I would get the results I had always gotten and so I gave up my stubbornness and did it your way…no surprise here IT WORKED and boy did it work! I was very proud to compete in my first fitness modelling competition (Fame Wold Tour 2008) several months later and was even more proud to look down at my abs in a sort of cloudy bliss :)

I am currently undertaking a different kind of body make-over with my first baby on the way in a few months. With your guidance I have been able to stay very fit and active through out my pregnancy and I am looking forward to hitting it hard after my little ones arrival to challenge the old stereotype that one losses ones figure after having children (you never did). I will provide pictures of the next competition after babies :)

In short Sandra thanks for your support, encouragement and for being an incredible role model to follow I could not have done it with out you!!!
