I politely declined. A year later, in September 2013, I decided to give Burn Boot Camp a try when my pants buttons were threatening to pop off, and I was not willing to buy the next size up. My first days at Burn I was sick to my stomach with nerves, and I knew no one in the room. It was painfully clear how out of shape I was when we went running at the post office. Luckily, I met another new person, Brenda Jackson, and was also encouraged by Daniel Ballard who was an intern at the time.<\/p>\n<p>If I could talk to my former self just starting at Burn I would say:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don\u2019t be intimidated by the other women in the room \u2013 everyone has that \u201cday 1\u201d moment.<\/li>\n<li>Try to get to the gym often \u2013 even when you are sore \u2013 when you get moving it makes the soreness feel better.<\/li>\n<li>Make a friend in class \u2013 the women around you are generally supportive and enjoy working out together \u2013 having a friend gives you accountability and makes it more fun! (I am especially thankful for Amy Bennett and Laurie Hutchinson)<\/li>\n<li>When you think \u201cit has gotten easier\u201d \u2013 watch out \u2013 your trainer will notice and challenge you to pick up heavier weights, move faster, or modify up the exercise. This is all a good thing! (Thank you Devan Kline, Ashley Beasley, and Shannon Lamendola)<\/li>\n<li>Understand that you are never done \u2013 exercise should be a part of your daily routine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/myddxp-zM0s?list=PLiZT94kBUfUCwTruU3-3DyPA1DLN4CwtH\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am still amazed at how Burn has changed my life. I look at athletes differently, since I have a small sense of how hard they work. I was one of those \u201clast one picked for the team\u201d and \u201chated PE\u201d kind of kid, so sweating, running and doing athletic things are all new to me.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the unexpected, lasting effects of Burn are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>I need less sleep and have more energy.<\/li>\n<li>My cholesterol numbers have improved dramatically.<\/li>\n<li>I am strong.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I am so thankful to have a place to exercise that involves different routines and challenges, where the trainers know your name and your strengths. I love having familiar ladies in the room and welcoming newcomers.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned before, you are never done and I have several things I am still working on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li>I continue to try heavier weights and always hope to get a little more endurance and speed.<\/li>\n<li>I still wrestle with the reality that \u201cyou can\u2019t out train a poor diet.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>I may never master double unders with the jump rope, but I will always keep trying.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is my second most important transformation story. My first began when I surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of my Life, and I have nothing but praise about that too.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Cheryl Nelson &#8211; Burn Boot Camp, Huntersville, NC<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheryl was never into &#8220;fitness or athletics,&#8221; but now she understands the strength and endurance that comes along with a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":16707,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[33,685,678,508,609],"class_list":["post-16705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","tag-burn-boot-camp","tag-cheryl-nelson","tag-client-of-the-month","tag-motivation","tag-transformation-story"],"acf":{"hide_blog_author":false,"publication_link":"","print_circulationviewership":"","unique_monthly_visitors_":"","before_image":false,"after_image":false,"location_page":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.9 (Yoast SEO v21.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Client of the Month : Cheryl Nelson - Burn Boot Camp<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cheryl understands the strength and endurance that comes along with a healthy lifestyle.
