My name is Jill Miles.  I am 32, a wife, a mother, and a full time student. When I was pregnant with my now 7 year-old daughter I gained a whopping 50 pounds with the pregnancy.  I had gone from being a little underweight to being quite overweight.  On my 5’3” frame, 158 pounds is quite a bit!  I lost a little of the baby weight after giving birth, but the rest of it held on.  The following year, I underwent a very stressful period…this is when I discovered Tae Bo®. 

I picked up a video I saw at the store and I never went back.  I had tried a few other things but never really liked the other videos that were out there.  What stuck out in my mind was how Billy would interact with me while I was working out.  I really noticed when Billy would speak into the television to me.  He knew when I was tired and when I needed motivation…he knew how to push me beyond my limits.  Over the next year, while my Tae Bo® workouts were helping me handle the stress in my life, I also lost weight and toned up.  Not only that, but I gained strength in my body and mind that I never knew was possible.

In January 2005, I joined the Tae Bo® web club and have gained much insight and have developed some wonderful friendships with other Tae Bo® lovers there.  I am now about 38 pounds less than I was after having my daughter and have more strength, endurance, and confidence than I have ever had before.  Doing Tae Bo® has helped me manage the stress of being a full time student along with caring for my family.  I have learned to step out of my comfort zone and step out in faith, to pursue dreams I never thought possible.  Just recently, in July of this year, I went to California to certification camp and I am now a certified Tae Bo® instructor! 
I have gone from skinny but weak to overweight to strong and healthy.  I am in my 30s now and I feel better now than ever before and I continue to use my workouts as a tool for stress management and overall wellbeing.
