The lovely ladies from Booty Camp Fitness recently sent me their new Ultimate Home Edition 11-disc workout plan to try out. I am a big fan of their first workout DVDs, so I was really excited to try their newest series. Sammie Kennedy- the Creator of Booty Camp Fitness- and the other amazing boot-camp instructors have a very friendly and laid-back style, making even the biggest exercise newbie feel confident. When you think of a “boot camp” workout, you often think of instructors screaming at you and lots of intensity. This isn’t Booty Camp’s style at all. It’s all about having fun, empowering women, and making it seem like you are working out with a few of your girlfriends (who just happen to know some killer workout exercises).
The 11-disc series contain the following workouts:
The DVDs come with a workout calendar, jump rope, measuring tape, lifestyle guide, and e-cookbook as well. I’ve been testing out the workouts since the end of December and I’m starting the 2-month plan this week.
The workout that I love to hate? 20-minute Bounce ‘n Burn (jump rope)
Burn isn’t even the word! My legs feel like bricks when I do this workout. The last time I jumped rope was probably in grade school so it wasn’t pretty the first time I did it. After a couple painful sessions, I’ve relearned how to jump rope without whipping myself like silly (tip: wear long pants!). It will probably take me at least a few more sessions until I’m not gasping for air..it’s an intense 20 minutes, even with alternating jumping rope with strength exercises.
So far the videos are going well and I’m loving the variety of the 11 workouts. My muscles hate me though, so I’ve been making sure to stretch a lot, take my rest days when needed, and get lots of protein following tough workouts.
Like with this Triple lentil Recovery Soup!
Packed with over 25 grams of protein per serving, this soup will aid with post-workout recovery and get you back in the game in no time.

Prepare yourself for a high protein and flavourful soup, great for all those sore muscles that we often have at the beginning of the year. A little bit goes a long way with this soup! It’s extremely filling and lovely with a toasted bun or piece of bread.
It’s a bit of an “ugly duckling” soup, but I think we learned not to judge food by its appearance long ago. ;)

would like to run a 5k 1x a month in 2012. 1st to be in feb.
mmm I love a hearty lentil soup. So perfect for the winter to soothe the soul and warm you up!
My goal for 2012 is to move more every day and to focus on going vegan! Love your blog!!
I want to go to Italy and enjoy amazing food and wine. And get into better shape with Booty Camps
I love your blog Angela! You are so positive and inspirational! Thank you for all that you do! Whenever I need a pick me up, I read your blog! : ). For this year, I plan on running a 10k, learning about investments, writing and illustrating a children’s book, volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, and be more empowered!
I would like to start my own blog in early 2012.
Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win that kit.
Jessica :)
I plan to do yoga for the first time. If I don’t kill myself trying, I’d like to incorporate it into my weekly plan.
Since my children are almost adults, I wish to take more time for myself. I already am on my way to become vegetarian (90% of the time, no meat but I still eat fish) and I would like to exercice on a regular basis as a way to help with my stresss problem. I can’t go to a gym because of the cost, so a home workout plan would be great! Thank you.
My goal for 2012 is to lose the 30 pounds I gained when I had multiple unexpected surgeries this year. These DVDs would definitely help with that! I’m also working on eliminating processed foods and learning to cook more whole foods.
My goal for 2012 is to eat better, that is eating everything that my body needs and hopefully these habbits can rub off on my family so that we can all grow healthier. Also, I hope to get out more and make more memories!
I want to run my first half marathon! I’ve been a runner for a while but ten miles is usually my max. I always have a hard time slowly adding distance and usually get injured by going too far too fast. This year, my plan is slow, steady and determined!
Not sure if it’s too late, but it’s still Wednesday so I thought I’d give it a shot. I’m a stay-at-home-mom/pilates-instructor and I love your blog. It’s played a bit part in helping me change some major things in our family’s life over the past year and a half. In 5 weeks I’ll be giving birth to our third baby, and my goals for 2012 include maintaining our healthy lifestyle with this crazy family, and a big one for me……(finally) learning to run, which has always terrified me. The workout vid’s would be an awesome awesome thing for me, to help kickstart my post-baby workouts!!!
Continue to workout hard and think about a figure competition!!
I want to make this the best year possible. I turn 30 this year and am trying not to have a mid life crisis of sorts!! This is the year to not only think positive thoughts… but to also ACT on them. I just want to finally make myself a priority. I want to study, play, work, exercise, eat, laugh, travel… I want to live :)
I plan to finish school and get my graduate degree this year.
One of my goals is to de-clutter…just need time and the strength to part with non-essential things!
2012 brings in hopes of opening up my own dance school where kids age 3 to 99 can come to bust a groove!
I want to be able to do 10 pullups in a row by the end of the year!
I am working on learning Spanish :)
My goal (which is a repeat of the last … 20 years, probably) is to get in shape. I’d like to be in good enough shape when the weather gets to nice to ride my bike to the grocery or even to work! So this would be perfect for me :)
I would LOVE to hike Macchu Picchu and get into PA school in 2012….and i am going to do it!!
Maintain weight at or below 135 pounds
I would like to do more than 1 half marathon this year.
I would like to get back into exercisse classes, Spin, TRX and Flex….
I would like to make more fresh salads.
2011 was a tumultuous year for me so my goal for 2012 is to make it great. The stress of my divorce and caring for 2 children lead to health problems and weight gain and I need to get back on track. Eat healthy foods and exercising regularly will make a huge difference in my physical and mental health.
Love your site! Thanks!
Rebecca
This year I decided not to set any new year’s resolutions, but I am working on reducing my stress levels by making time for the things I really love to do.
How cool that the DVD’s come with basically a Fitness Makeover set!
This year I would like to gain as much knowledge as I can about health and well being from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition and be able to help women change their lives by making easy health choices that help them achieve their weight loss goals!
I want to start being a risk taker when it comes to cooking. Healthy doesn’t have to be boring!!
My goal is to get my family and I on the right track to a healthier life. Starting with walks at night with the husband, the kids and the dog
I have many goals for 2012; one of them is to put my health first-for awhile my bf and I went for easy meals, like boxed rices, frozen pizzas, etc, even though I know how much better real food is for you. So we’ve made the realization to focus more on wholesome eating; and, since I’m starting back college in just a week, my priority is to stick with it, accepting challenges and obstacles instead of getting frustrated and quitting – I want a degree and to be successful!!
this year is about restarting after a long break from this summer due to a bad ankle
I want to focus on finding balance in my life. I want to work towards finding the right mix of work and fun, and try to give myself credit for what I do well rather than seeing only my flaws.
In 2012 I want to complete my couch to 5k training (CHECK!), complete my bridge to 10k training (in progress), and train for a half marathon!
I ran my first 5k this past year. In 2012 hope to work up to 5 miles perhaps.
I would like to run my first 5k and first 10k!
My goal for 2012 is to look and feel the best I can for my wedding in July! And then to continue the lifestyle for years to come!
I need this so much, that extra help to keep me working out so I can get in the best shape I can
Happy new year! My goal for 2012 is to find and keep with an indoor winter fitness program. I usually run outside but it’s tough going in the snow and ice of Montreal!
I’d like to run my first half marathon.
I’d love to get all A’s and B’s in my graduate courses and lose my first 10% where weight loss is concerned. I also plan on getting out more and exercising and just simply living life to the fullest. And oh yeah, I’d love to try a few of your recipes this year too so I can stop just drooling at the photos online lol.
Run with regularity!
2012 I am set on running my first 5k and traveling to Italy to see family for the first time!
My husband made this soup last night and we just had it for lunch. Soooo good! Not pretty, but definitely delicious! He doubled the recipe so we’d have some to freeze. Perfect for these cold-ish winter days.
My main goal for 2012 is to go gluten free, but I also need to start running again, for both my mental and physical health!
i would like to visit my brother’s new born in February, 2012 in Ireland, friend’s newborn in July, 2012 in Amsterdam, have a great international student’s reunion in Sweden in September and celebrate dad’s 60’s bday in October in Lithuania :)
I would like to run a 10k!
My goals for 2012 is complete my first marathon, eat more protein, maintain my current weight, and spend more time with friends!
I’m 52 and would like to get in better shape and try some of these Oh She Glows recipes…they look so yummy!!!
