Kayla Mills jump-started her weight-loss journey with a new workout plan. "When I first started working toward a better me, I purchased a month of unlimited HIIT-style [4] bootcamp classes from Groupon," she told POPSUGAR. With the goal of losing weight and keeping it off, she knew the added accountability from the group classes would help her accomplish her goals.
After her first month of classes, Kayla said, "I was seeing a lot of progress. I enjoyed the classes, and I found a new love for challenging myself." She continued with the classes for a few months, and once her stamina and strength improved, she began working out on her own. Thanks to her new lifestyle of healthy eating and working out, Kayla went on to lose 70 pounds [5]!
