Success Story: Rosie Frampton

Rosie is one of my most dedicated boot campers that has been with me since the beginning. She is always consistent, hard-working and able to make everyone laugh even while doing burpees. I asked her to write a testimonial about her experience with Fit and Fierce Boot Camp. Here is what she had to say, in true Rosie fashion:

Kaci requested that I write a testimonial to post on her blog…so here it goes.  My name is Rosie Frampton.  I’ve been an athlete for as long as I can remember.  I love to run, golf, bike, swim and workout.  I have known Kaci for quite some time.  I received an email from Kaci’s mom, Karen Mabe, about Kaci making a career change and starting up a boot camp through CrossFit Turlock.  I was hesitant to join, especially the 5:30 a.m. part and meeting two days a week outside in unpredictable weather.  I’ve always considered myself as being fit.  During the past couple of years, I’ve ran in several half marathons.  I thought I was in the best shape of my life…until Fit and Fierce Boot Camp with Kaci Mabe. 

Here are pictures before boot camp and now – same clothes.

I can’t believe the rolls bulging through my shirt…talk about a “muffin top”.  Looking at these pictures, it has made me realize that I’ve not only been stuffing my face with everything and anything, but I was stuffing myself in my clothes.  I’m so embarrassed.  Since August 2011, I’ve lost 15 pounds, 11 inches, and dropped my body fat index by 7%.  I feel strong LIKE HEIFER (inside joke to fellow boot campers) and my clothes fall off me. 

I’m not going to lie to you, it’s not easy.  Getting up three mornings at 4:45 a.m. to work out at 5:30 a.m. is tough.  It’s not only a commitment you have to make for yourself, but your whole family has to make it with you.  The sacrifice and the results are well worth it.

I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Kaci and the gals in our boot camp class.  I think we all help and encourage each other to push further than we could ever imagine.  Kaci rocks and kicks our butts.  Hooked on boot camp worked for me!  Come and join us!

Look at that tiny waist and those
SEXY ARMS!

What Rosie did not mention is that she has improved her mile time by almost 2 minutes, she can now do REAL push-ups, can almost back squat her body weight and can push a little under 100 pounds over her head. Not only is she lean now, but she is STRONG as well. Rosie always keeps everyone motivated by shouting, "Sexy arms ladies, sexy arms!" She is proof that hard work, dedication and a positive attitude can get you to your goals. Thank you, Rosie for making 5:30 a.m. and unpredictable weather worth bearing and even fun!
