Have you ever dreamed about:

• How it would feel to be in the shape you were in when you were a child and could play outside for hours?
• what the smell of sunrise really is?
• how soft the sunset can be on a fall day when you're running through the leaves?

If you're like I used to be, you're probably thinking that this is something for people who aren't like you... for people who are young and fit and don't have all those things pressing in on them like you do.

Or maybe you're thinking that this is a running program just like all the other programs that you've tried. You'll get all excited about it and then, just a couple of days into it, you won't be able to do it and you'll fail, just like all the other times.

Or maybe, you're just so tired of not being able to succeed at an exercise program that you've decided that it just can't be very much fun, even if you DID succeed.

Or is it that you try a program and after just a couple of weeks, everything comes crashing down and you can't find the time and no one really cares if you keep your commitment, anyway.

If those kind of thoughts are running through your head right now, let me share some thoughts with you.

For most people, it's hard to conceive of succeeding at something that they've never been able to do, especially, if you, like me, tried any number of times and failed.

So, rather than even try, it's easier to settle back into your safe place where you can convince yourself that you aren't envious of those who are living an active life, who are going out and running, enjoying the mornings and coming back to their day recharged and refreshed or spending the day anticipating the quiet solitude of their evening run.

It's easier to stay slightly (or more) overweight and very out of shape. It's easier to be vaguely (or very) dissatisfied with yourself for not doing more for your health.

But, I want you to imagine a different future for yourself for just a few minutes.

What would it be like if you could change this around, become a regular exerciser, feel better in your body?
What if you COULD stick to a plan and in just a few short months, run a 5k?

• Maybe you'd take that newfound energy into the rest of your life where you'd wake each day ready to take on the world (after your run, of course!).
• Maybe you could use your experience of goal-attaining and use it to fuel a new passion or complete a project shelved long ago.
• Maybe you would have the courage to say "enough" to all the negative things in your life, and begin to use the confidence you've found to start saying YES to all the abundance that's available to you.
• Maybe your kids would look to you as a role model and get up off the couch, put away the game controller and go outside for a run with you!

...Just think,
If you could run a 5k, what else COULD you do!

You may be thinking "All this from just a running program?
It can't be that powerful!"...

YES, it can be!

How do I know this for sure?

Why am I so passionate about something as seemingly insignificant as running?

Because I've been there. Fat (yes, FAT - not heavy, not overweight, not big-boned), tired, lacking in energy and drive, unable to conceive of how I was going to ever clean up the mess I'd made of my life so far.

You see, my marriage was failing, my job was crazy, my son was grown and gone, my aging mother needed more from her family than she was getting and my mouth was out of control. Feeling the pressure of my life falling to pieces, I turned to food. For the first time ever, I hit the morbidly obese category and I could no longer avoid facing my weight. I was fortunate. In my stumbling attempts to locate some support for my new-found determination to change, I came across a online diet site with a great support system. Not only was there diet advice galore, but online forums existed for every imaginable demographic and lifestyle! I found groups here who could share my struggle for health. ME (not even my heaviest) in 2002 As I began to be a bit healthier, I knew I had to build exercise into my program. I tried walking, but with limited available time, I knew I couldn't get the intensity I needed. When a group member talked about her running program, I knew I had to try it, even though I'd failed many, many, many times before to become a runner. I started on a very hot day in May. I made it, just barely, through the first day. But when I told my group, I received so much support, I had to try the next run. And the next and the next and the next. By the time I got through the 12 week program, I was hooked. And thinner! And determined to finish my diet and go on to bigger and better things. Eventually, I left my travelling job to care for my mother in her last years. I decided to follow my passion and start a business where I could help women like the one I used to be. I became a personal trainer and running coach and developed a program out of all that I had learned as a beginning runner and an encourager of other beginning runners. ME at my goal weight! Answering the challenge to run was what put me on the path to my dreams. I'm living my dreams. Running and working out are a huge part of my daily life, but more important to me is seeing those I work with growing and blossoming from the same soil that has nurtured me.

So, now it's your turn.

It's time for you to step out from the excuses and the doubt and embrace yourself and your inner athlete. It's time for you to take that leap of faith that says "I am worth being a strong, beautiful, healthy, fit woman!"

"Jeanne is absolutely the best. She is a natural leader, has boundless enthusiam and energy, totally understands the fitness needs and challenges of women, is a gifted and intuitive coach, and effectively relates and supports clients in various stages of their fitness journeys, because she has 'been there.'" Debbie Dunphy Boston, MA

"Jeanne is the most awesome personal trainer, I lost sixty pounds with her running program and feel better than I ever have in my life. I continue to train with Jeanne and wouldn't want another trainer." Joy Willis Wetumpka, AL

Debby and Joy didn't think that they could change their lives through something as simple as signing up for a running program. But they did! And the changes are more than just their dress sizes and the occasional medal from running a 5k. They've changed their inner selves as well. They're more confident and vital and they project their accomplishments in everything they do.

What kind of results can you expect from KICKStart?

If you're like most of my beginning runners:

• You'll run a 5k (3.1 miles) - TWICE! - without stopping!
• You'll improve your cardiovascular health and strengthen your bones.
• You'll make friends with other beginning runners around the country and around the world!
• You'll establish an exercise habit and rev up your metabolism.
• You'll be better able to manage stress and sleep better.
• You'll be happier and healthier and more confident in every area of your life!

Yeah, that all sounds terrific, but I don't have any idea where to start. And you don't understand, I have kids, a husband, a job. I don't know how I could fit all THAT into my life!

I hear you, I really do! When I started my exercise program, I was in the middle of a divorce, fixing up a house that I had to get sold in one state and building a new house 1800 miles away. I had just switched jobs and I spent 4 1/2 days a week in a different place from EITHER of those, working 10-12 hour days.

The truth is, just like everything else worthwhile in your life, there's no perfect time to start exercising. If it's not one thing, it's another. I get it. But, if you don't take care of yourself, where will you be in 5 years? or 10?

And, I've designed KICKStart with something extra for people just like me, and probably, just like YOU.

You see, when I started my own running career, I found the thing that helped me stick to it, more than anything else, was that my group was waiting for me to report in for EVERY run. I had to do it, or explain to them why I backed out.

And, actually, it helped that they were online friends - people distant to me, but who cared about my welfare and progress. If they were husband, son, sister or mother, I would have resented their "checking up" on me. I would have defied them just because.

Through RunMinder, KICKStart provides you with the accountability you need, EVERY RUN, EVERY TIME. We'll send you a reminder just minutes before you're due out the door, with extra motivation for your run. Then, when you're finished, let us know. If we don't hear from you, we'll follow up and make sure that you're finding the time to stick to your commitment. You choose the times; we'll help you keep your resolve!

So how well does this work?

These results are typical of the people I work with and who commit to my programs. I help people reach their dreams by helping them to have a body they love and the ability to do more with it than they ever thought possible.

"Whether you work face to face with Jeanne, or receive her coaching and advice via email, you will experience individualized attention and encouragement. She helped me prove to myself that I could, in fact, run for longer than five minutes! She builds esteem and spirits as well as bodies." Liz Irwin Toledo, Ohio

What this program is not:

But this is what KICKStart is all about:

This is simply the best all-round running program for novices on the market today. There are "faster" (SAY they can get you to a 5k in less time) programs out there and there are some that give you some of the same instructional components I'll be giving you. But there aren't any that will give you the same level of instruction and support and accountability as KICKStart.

Here's what you get...

	Each run is provided for you, both as an audio program and in writing. You won't have to watch your watch as you run; just download the program to your iPod, mp3 player or smartphone and I'll talk you through the whole workout, from warm-up to cool down, including stretching. If you prefer to time yourself, use the written program instead. When it comes to your race, I'll provide you a pre-race warm-up and stretch. You'll be running for your FIRST PERSONAL BEST!
	Accountability for EVERY run is built in. We'll remind you that you have a run scheduled and expect to hear from you when your run is done. If you haven't let us know you're done, we'll follow up to see if there was a problem or if you simply forgot to check in.
	Get ready to start It's all in the preparation. Well, not really, but our program gets you started right by making sure you're ready. As soon as you sign up, we send you videos and notes to help you through everything you need to know for your first run. We'll go over buying shoes, stretching and how to fit the program into your already busy life. Then, we'll lead you into a walking program that will get your body moving and will make sure that you are capable of doing the first week's runs. Other programs skip these crucial steps, but at Ignite!, we try to make sure that your first running steps are the right ones!
	A whole class full of other runners You'd think you wouldn't find much support in an online class, but we know that the support of other beginners is a key to your success. So, we've created The FirePit, an online forum where you can communicate with your classmates. Your class will have its own online forum. Go online and talk with others who are going through the same program at the same time. Your experiences may benefit them, while they may be able to help or reassure you about something you are going through.
	Everything you need to know to be a runner NOW! Even though running is a pretty simple activity, it's remarkable how much actually goes into it. Each week, you'll have the opportunity to attend a live webinar where I'll go over all the things I've learned while becoming a runner and a running coach. I've distilled this information from dozens of coaches, from certification classes and the best from magazines and books to prepare this program with as much running and exercise knowledge as I can give you. We'll go over everything from how to tie your shoelaces to what to do at a waterstop in a race. And it goes beyond just running skills. We'll cover nutrition, cross-training, goal setting and more. Everything you need to know to make running and regular exercise a part of your life.
	Access to your personal running coach Each week, the webinar will conclude with a question and answer session. You can even "pre-submit" questions to be sure it will be covered. If you need a more immediate response, there will be a "coach's answers" section in your online chat area, where you can post a question and get an answer within 24 hours.
	Your personal runner's journal Each week, we'll supply a journal page for the weekly runs. Besides having a description of your run for the day, these pages should be used to record your progress. You'll have room to record date, time, whether you had running companions, and any other details you'd like to remember.
	Motivation and encouragement We've built them into the program from the very start. From the journaling pages that contain your workouts, to the webinars, to the audio files, to the online chat, we'll keep you excited about your program and provide reassurance through your doubts. We'll help you find and register for your first 5k and, after you're done, we'll hold a party in honor of you and your online friends at our last class webinar!
As a special bonus, you'll receive a two-month membership in Run Ignited!, our online running coaching program. This program will pick up with your post race recovery week and take you through the end of the month following your race. You'll be coached in setting a new fitness goal and from there, your coach will plan weekly workouts to begin working towards your new goal. I want to see you succeed as a runner, not just for a single race, but as a lifelong exercise habit. Many runners fail to continue immediately following their first race. I don't want to see you join their number. By setting a goal and beginning to train for it immediately, you'll be on your way to whatever you set your vision on next. $150.00 Value

There are faster programs on the market and some are even available for free. Why choose Ignite’s 12 week program? Simply put, for many people, the increase in pace and the lack of specific running instruction ensures that your attempt to follow their program will lead to one more failure. Ignite! is committed to leading YOU to success.

In fact, I'm so confident that you'll be happy with this program that I'm offering you FOUR WEEKS of this program to try it risk-free. If you're not satisfied with RunningStart after 4 weeks, you can withdraw with a FULL REFUND, no questions asked.

I know you're ready for this!

Let's get started!

P.S. Just think... By taking this one step, in 12 weeks you could run a 5k.

And if you could run a 5k, what couldn't you do?
