Mom Cries With Laughter

My neck feels better. My back feels better. I sleep better. My clothes fit better. The best improvement for me is my increased energy level. Before the {Combat Endurance Training}, I was exhausted at the end of each day. I had little tolerance for the silliness of my adolescent children. Now, we laugh so hard that we cry sometimes. It feels so good to laugh that hard again?

As a wife and mother, I find it hard to do things for myself instead of doing things for others. I have realized that the time I spend taking care of myself is actually a benefit to my family as well. My family realizes it too. My 12 year old daughter told me that I am more fun to be around since I started.

Skeptic "Aging Athlete"
Turned True Believer

I must admit being somewhat skeptical when I first came to class, but that was quickly removed as soon as we started. IÕm suffering from the dreaded aging athlete syndrome, and needed something more than the once a week golf and softball activities. I have gotten much stronger in my upper body and feel much more flexible, both traits that I feel are important as one gets older. I must admit to being very sore after the first week, but after that, I have recovered much more quicklyÉThe fact that this is something that my wife and I can do together is great also.

Patella Femoral Syndrome Limited Melissa's ability to exercise for 3 LONG YEARS
GONE! in 5 one hour sessions of
Combat Endurance Training

Fred, I wanted to say Thank you...I have made vast improvements in just strength alone. But I'm also feeling healthier. I have worked out pretty faithfully for months without showing any real improvement, but after 5 [sessions] with you, I made leaps ahead of where I was! I was able to raise all my machines in my workout up 10-15 lbs, and I'm able to maintain my aerobic workout longer. I have patella femoral syndrome, and previously dislocated both shoulders. I haven't been able to jump, run, or do much of anything in the way of lifting for over 3 years. Although I still can't jump without pain, I can now jog short distances, due to the strengthening of the IT Band and Hip flexors through your workout. Also, I was unable to do even a single pushup last year. As of the beginning of class, I had made it to 10. Now, I can do up to 75 in a class! Talk about improvement! So again, thank you for driving me like a dog!

Doria Knocked Off
3:41 minutes
on her 2nd Half-Marathon

Combat Endurance Training has strengthened every part of my body that I hoped it would. I enjoy running. After three weeks of Combat Training I completed my second Half Marathon. I improved my time by 17 SECONDS PER MILE on a course that was considerably more difficult than the first Half Marathon that I had run. I could feel my hip flexors for the first time since I began running 2 years ago. My abdominal and back muscles felt strong. I do more lifting in my work than average and can feel that my arms are much more firm and strong as well. I definitely recommend Combat Endurance Training for anybody no matter what their level of fitness.

NO MORE
Lying on the bed
to fit into my Jeans

I really appreciate the chance you gave me to participate in Combat Endurance Training, especially since I am well past the age that you listed in the paper. It made me realize how much I need something like this. When I requested to be in this group, I hoped to become healthier, live longer, lose weight and gain strength. I know I have gained strength because each time we have a session I can do a bit more. The scale doesn't show I have lost weight, but I don't have to lay on my bed to zip up my freshly washed jeans anymore. Yeah!

Before your class I had started walking on a daily basis with a friend. I didn't use to look forward to those walks, but now I do. It helps to have someone to exercise with too. It motivates me more.
