  • Name: Michelle Brenner mich

  • Age: 45

  • Where are you from? Baden, Ontario

  • Results from the Program: lost 6.6lbs and 9.5”


Tell us about yourself!  I am a Child Care Provider, married for almost 19yrs,I  have two hockey playing boys, 11 and 16yrs old and we have a 4yr old Golden Retriever.  I have always loved fitness but like some, I put myself last to make sure my family was always taken care of.  I started taking less care of myself, gaining weight, feeling like a door mat.  I went through a period of depression almost 9yrs ago and with the right help, thankfully got through it.  I have one sister, and my parents are retired living in Florida.  I have an 10yr old nephew who was a heart transplant recipient at 1month old and is also a cancer survivor, and he has shown me to always find a positive….it could be worse, so I try and be thankful…always.
What made you decide to join the 21 Day Kick starter program with Team Bunny?
I have been following Jill for some time and was fortunate to win the 21day Kickstart Program!!

Was it everything you expected? It was AND more!  I expected to loose weight, expected to loose inches & gain muscle, but the happiness I gained inside….I didn’t expect to feel this great!  I am starting to feel really good inside and am happy to have that matching my outside.

What is your cheat meal? Did not have one and was okay with that as wanted to stay focused on my goal!

Did you have a moment of weakness? If so when and why? Absolutely, I am an emotional eater and had a moment where I was feeling like a doormat again, overwhelmed and I gave in one night, binged and felt awful so punished myself for failing by eating more….and I felt like crap!  BUT Claudia gave me the best piece of advice for when that happens again…and the next time I was prepared and her advice worked…..BEST tip ever and I will carry that note with me for a long time!

What is your favorite body part to workout? Tough one as now I have a couple….legs #1, glutes #2 and now my shoulders as I am trying more exercises and doing different variations rather than the same old exercise all the time.  Plus when you start seeing good changes and muscle definition it makes you work harder J
Why have you chosen to be apart of Team Bunny?

OMGosh I follow many fitness men/women, have read and looked into several fitness groups/programs, and honestly Team Bunny seems the most genuine, real, honest group, and is well respected in the fitness industry.  I know it’s a business but Jill/Claudia made me feel good, important, strong and happy and along the way I learned things about myself, new strengths were discovered and I learned how to deal with some weaknesses….it’s not a quick fix group, but a long term team!
What do you enjoy most about Team Bunny?

That I have been made to feel like I matter…Claudia touching base with me and being readily available if I have question or have a slip up and need to talk it out.  Jill, as busy as she is, takes the time to give her support and gives that personal touch!  Sharing videos and training tips so you know you are doing an exercise right or hey try a new version of an exercise.  Nutrition and supportive tips.
What are your fitness Plans in the future? My next plan is the 12week transformation, after that I am aiming to work towards a show in October.  I will continue to eat healthy, continue my workouts and making time for ME!!! I have a goals list I started in January and I aim to meet each one!!

Anything else you would like to add about the whole experience?

It was an amazing experience and I am so thankful for the tools and support Jill and Claudia gave me.  It was the best thing I could have done for myself and I still get teary when thinking of what I accomplished in 21 days…imagine what I can do next!!!!  I have had several friends inquire about the 21day Kickstart and one has already signed up.  A couple more are interested and I am so glad because I know how amazing they will feel and look and no better team than Team Bunny to do it through!

What is Love? What is not?

I LOVE YOU... Love is a major purpose for living. The connection with love is inherent in all that we do, and without it, we cannot survive as a species. But what is love? How do we know when we are in Love? On this Valentines Day I want you to reflect on your loving relationships. Over the years I have come to understand what love is. How you ask? By figuring out what LOVE ISN'T! Sometimes.. Love is like a trainer... you may get your perfect match right away; or you have to trial other ones. Much like love... you may have to date a few bad ones to find the right one... and you know, they may have been there all along and you just didn't open your eyes to realize! LOVE IS NOT : Manipulation . How many times have you heard: "If you loved me, then you would..." If you love someone, you do it because you want to, instead of someone telling you to. Compromising Who You Are : Love is not apparent if someone asks you to do or say something that isn't in your nature. Som...

SUCCESS Beyond the Stage: Nikki McKnight

Image
You could say that it all started with a trip to Disney World in Florida a few years ago. The photos from that vacation made me face a very harsh reality: in my pursuit of career excellence I had neglected to take care of myself. I was overweight, tired, stressed, and woke every day with a sense of dread.  After entering and winning an online transformation challenge I decided to take it one step further and try competitive bodybuilding. With the love and support of Jill Bunny and my teammates, I tackled the bikini stage and competed in Toronto. It was a great experience and I was looking forward to doing another show when my body rebelled against me. Although I had challenged myself mentally and physically and felt a sense of triumph, I was still living a stressful and unfulfilling lifestyle. My body shut down, I was injured frequently, and I was constantly tired.   Too stressed out to even workout, my personal trainer introduced me to Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) and for the fir...

Monday Morning Detox Juice

Author: Coach Claudia Scali Monday mornings can be hectic and stressful as your try to get up early, rush out the door and fight your way through traffic to get to work on time.  Not to mention, dropping off the dry cleaning, preparing healthy meals for the week, driving your kids to their various activities and the list goes on! There are so many expectations we set for Mondays that they can be extremely overwhelming! We want to start the day early,  eat healthy , go to the gym, prepare a presentation at work, be super mom, and finish a million different tasks! We want it all but how do we achieve it without  burning ourselves out ? You need to take care of YOU first and foremost .  You are hardly accomplishing any task when you are tired, run down, stressed out and totally fried! To be your best, you need to  give your body the nourishment and fuel that it needs .  A good night’s rest is ideal (but not always possible) as well as staying hydrated, so be sure to get in those 8 glasses...
