Hi everyone! This week, we have a post from Jen Campbell at PURE Spa Ocean Terminal – one of our spa therapists who’s taking part in the Beach Body Beautiful campaign..
Jen’s Story
At 21 years old I thought it was long overdue for me to join my very first gym. With many of the Pure Spa and Beauty girls being members of Pure Gym, it was an easy decision to make. Having got into the habit of being unhealthy and rarely exercising, my first few visits were tough but I soon got into a routine and I now go 3-4 times a week along with personal training sessions with Stevie. Having a buddy to go with makes everything easier too!
After 3 months of noticing a difference it all seemed to stop. I began to realise that even though I was exercising a love for crisps may be to blame. With the countdown to my holiday quickly approaching I decided to begin a healthy eating regime.
For the past month I have been eating lots of fruit and veg (with the odd bag of crisps too!) to make me feel trimmer. While still going to the gym regularly I have noticed a big difference and only wish I had realised sooner that a healthy diet coupled with exercise produces much greater results. Not only do I feel slimmer, I have a lot more energy, no longer feel bloated and my skin is clearer and glowing like never before!
With one week to go before my holiday I have stepped up my exercise and diet a notch by having 2 pt sessions with Stevie instead of 1 and I have cut out all carbs for the week. Now I know I can treat myself on holiday guilt free!
Thank you to all the Pure Spa and Beauty girls for your motivation and also to Stevie at Pure Gym 🙂
