Rachel Nichols’ Event Day Workout

This past weekend I went to see the new Star Trek movie. Even though I’m not a hard core Trekkie, I still very much enjoyed the movie. My client, Rachel Nichols, plays Gaila The “Green Girl”, and has a very notable scene with Captain James T. Kirk. We had lots of fun preparing for this nearly naked scene, and this was when the seed for the “I Want My Bikini Body!” program was sown.

    She looks better as a brunette. Wow!

    Valerie, Rachel said before that training with you for an action hero movie she gained like 15lbs of muscle or something. How long did it take her to gain that? I have heard that even for men they can’t gain more then 1-2lbs of actual muscle per month. Thanks.

    How is the I Want My Bikini Body program different than the RCR program. I have the RCR program, so was just curious.
    Thanks!
