Mission: In 2004 BuffMother! was founded
to give every mother the power to believe that they can be Buff after having
children!
How BuffMother! Began:
In 4 short years Michelle became the mother to 4 children.
Michelle spent every moment of her days selflessly caring for her family
and finding time for her self was impossible. She was a physical
and mental mess: out of shape, over weight, overwhelmed, overstressed,
tired, and on the verge of depression. She was too busy to eat right
and the thought of exercise was frustrating and seemingly pointless.
It was then that she hit rock bottom. One day Michelle stood toe to toe
looking at her battle scarred body in the mirror: her round face, blood
shot eyes, dull lifeless hair, flabby arms, fat stretched out stomach,
flat butt and shapeless legs were just a shell of the “looker” she was
just 6 years earlier. Who was this person in the mirror? Was
she a mere slave to the needs of her family? How was she going to
get the true Michelle back? It was then that she decided to prove to herself
and everyone else that she could regain control of her body and life.
With the frustration of her recent fitness failures fresh
in her mind, Michelle threw out the popular fitness routines and diets.
She designed a unique program that addressed her body’s loss of shape,
her malnutrition, her hormones and the time constrains now affecting her
as a mother. Michelle also learned to treat her workout as her “sanctuary
time”; she found an escape from the chaos of her life and time to focus
on just herself. After several months of intense workouts and fierce
determination, her plan worked. She became happier, healthier, more
confident, and excited about having the best figure of her life. She was
now living proof that it is possible to have a beautiful figure after having
children!
Invigorated by her new found life, Michelle’s mission
became to share hope with every mother that they too can regain their figures,
enjoy their lives and leave a legacy of fitness to their children. Using
herself as inspiration along with the methods of her unique fitness program,
she founded her company BuffMother! She now impacts mothers
from all 50 states, Canada and 16 countries around the world! Michelle’s
mission is to help every mother by being a role model, teacher, motivator,
advocate and friend.

(at home )*Michelle-can you omit double line space
I make sure to warm up for 10 min. before lifting and
make sure to work on my flexability between sets. Each workout lasts around
an hour and if I need an extra day off I take it. I generally lift 5-6
days a week and make sure to do intervals 3 or 4 times a week. Consistency
in lifting is the key to getting buff!
A Word on Supplements:
In regards to my success in a figure competition world,
that is filled with the use of illegal supplements: I do not use anything
illegal to enhance my physique or increase my performance capabilities,
I am natural! I do take some sports supplements that have been proven safe
and effective for anyone to consume. Some of those include: l-glutamine,
l-lysine, l-tyrosine, creatine, NO2 products, CLA, flax seed oil, St. John's
Wart, caffine, whey protein, sugar free Red Bull, Lubriflex, etc. Exactly
what I take depends on how I feel and what I am trying to accomplish. There
is a lot of money wasted on sports supplements that are ineffective, so
do your research before purchasing anything.
