Wow! I am humbled by all your comments and well thought out responses to the question “why do you deserve to win the Got Core DVD set.” I spent well over 90 minutes reading and rereading the comments. This is a very tough task to pick just 3! They all deserve to win, but I have found the ones that I really connected with and thought would all be good candidates. Thanks SO much for each and everyone of you who participated in this. It means a lot to me!
Those of you who won, I would like to hear from you in a couple months and let me know how the program is going. You will receive an email from me to set up our 15 minute phone consult. I look forward to talking with you!
For those of you who didn’t get chosen this Monday Dec 14th at 7 AM CST you will receive an email (assuming you get my free newsletter) giving you the link and website to get your hands on a copy or copies (they make great stocking stuffers) of the Got Core DVDs (2 DVDs). The bad news is that there are only 900 copies available and will be on a first come first serve basis.
The Winners…
Mother of seven children – need I say more?
Somewhere along the line, I think I lost my core.
I happily took on the task of teaching my kids to soar.
But every now and again, I wonder what its all for,
as I look in the closet at the beautiful things I once wore.
And hear the kids say the stories of my former svelte self are nothing but fairy tale and lore.
I could go on, but I don’t want to be a bore.
and if I don’t get busy working out soon, I’ll never get through the door.
So, watch out kids, its time for mommy to roar — as I take on the challenge of toning my core!
Dustin: Wow very creative rhyme and 7 kids is pretty impressive, can’t wait to see you roar!

Dustin,
I am a 42 year old home schooling Mom of eleven. I have given birth to my children over 22 years of marriage. My oldest is 20 and my youngest just turned 2. With every baby I have streched my tummy and added a few pounds. I weighed 100 on our wedding day and now weigh between 135-140.
My honey and I have been doing your first DVD every other day for two weeks. I am commited, but wonder if there is any hope for my well-worn body.
Thanks!
Elizabeth
Dustin: Umm 11 kids… crazy! Congrats and now after 22 years it is your time! I look forward to hearing how you are your husband do on the program.

Dustin,
I have your Fit Mom’s For Life DVD ordered. It hasn’t come yet, but I am very excited to get started.
I am a busy mom of 7. I have a 13 year old daughter, twins that turn 12 tomorrow, triplets that will be 8 in January, and a 4 year old son. Three of these deliveries were by c-section and my OB doctor told me my muscles are shot. I will not accept that. I know I can rebuild and shape my body with some hard work and your guidance.
Immediately after the birth of our last child, I joined weight watchers. I lost 40 lbs and kept that off until I started running long distance. I have run several 5ks, 10ks and most recently a half marathon and during that training, saw about 10 lbs come back on.
About a year ago, I quit weight watchers and went to a whole food, organic diet, which our whole family follows. After feeling totally depleted from that half marathon, I discovered your burst training video. I have been doing burst training, along with some strength training for about a month and have lost 5 lbs and feel great!
My husband and I are both committed to health and fitness and modeling this behavior at home so that our children grow up being healthy and fit adults. I know that your core video would be a perfect fit in our home and that my husband and children would use it as well.
Please consider our family as recipients for your new DVD. This DVD will NOT sit on the shelf in our house. We will use it and it will benefit 9 people!
Thank you for your dedication to moms!
Dustin: I thought you were deserving because of having 7 kids and triplets (multiple babies stretches core muscles much worse than singles), as well as having a couple Csection. But most of all you promise it won’t sit on the shelves and will be used by 9 people. So I hold you accountable towards that! Would love to see a video with all you doing it together 
I am also glad you had the experience of gain weight during the marathon training so that you know that isn’t the best form of training for weight loss!
Bonus
There was just one more that I had to give out. This is the only person of the 4 who I have met before…
@ 1:50 pm
Dustin.. I am one of the three you must pick.
You already know my story. I haven’t worked out in YEARS and because of you and some of your clients I now get my butt to your MamaTone class twice a week. The biggest reason for doing this is to get in shape for my 4-year-old who has seizures multiple times a day and I need the energy and body strength to be able to carry him up and down stairs, in and out of bed, etc. He’s not getting smaller so I have to get a lot stronger.
In addition to that, I have what I like to call “a donut of fat” on my stomach that both my 4-year-old and 13-month-old like to pinch.. and let me tell you, it’s getting old and annoying. The “donut of fat” must go.
Your Core DVD workout will help with my mission.
Please be my enabler with this!
Charlotte
Dustin: I picked Charlotte, because this is very serious that she becomes very strong total body and especially core. As her 4 year old son becomes older more and more will be required of her, and she could rupture her back and not be able to take care of her son, so for that I think she deserves it! Charlotte, do the workouts 2-3 times a week in addition to MamaTone.
Congrats everyone who won – Terrific stories – Enjoy the workout. I can not wait for Monday so I can get one myself. Great job Dustin – your parade of followers will only keep getting longer with this new DVD
Have a great weekend.
Dawn
So many deserving women out there…I would hate to be the one to have to choose!
BTW, Dustin, if you’re reading this: Ryan did a great job covering for you at Bootcamp this morning. He is unbelievable. I just kept thinking to myself “wow. this guy is like DUSTIN ON CRACK!” kudos to your team!
Vanessa,
Yeah ryan is pretty amazing!
Glad you like him.
Dustin
I’m so glad Charlotte got a bonus win! I read her story and almost cried because I too have lived that life until my daughter had her brain surgery and stopped the multiple seizures daily. I was REALLY hoping you would pick her.
Congratulations to all the other winners.
Thanks Dustin for doing so much for us Moms!
Haha, Vanessa, you are funny-Dustin on crack!! Wonderful, to have trainers coming up the ranks with the caliber of Ryan-he is a great guy besides and Dustin loves bragging on him to us. It’s like we as parents love it when our kids take our training and teaching and surpass us and exceed our achievements-makes us so proud and thankful! Well, hey, just like we feel about Dustin
!
.
You gals that won the DVDs are so VERY deserving, each one of you have incredible stories……but yeah, Dustin probably felt like giving everyone who wrote a free DVD!
P.S. Am itching to share a really healthy hot chocolate recipe that I have experimented with, using coconut milk
way to go ladies! gosh I thought I was busy with 6 kids!! congrats to all the winners! enjoy the DVD
Kudos to all those women! Best of luck with the video and the transformation is going to be so much fun to watch!
Congrats to all the winners! You are all amazing women!!!!
I’m speechless and embarrassed because I’m sitting here crying. Thank you so much for selecting me.. I am oh so greatful! Thanks for recognizing and understanding my situation. I feel like I won the lottery
And if at all possible, I would like to be able to get in touch with SHAUNA S. I think we have a lot to talk about! Is this possible??
Thanks so much!!
Charlotte
Dustin,
Great job at picking such deserving moms. I read all the entries posted and you really had a difficult task.
Keep up the great job of enabling moms(young & old) to be the best they can be!
Linda
Charlotte…email me at shaunasalmon(at)gmail.com
Great job on picking the winners. I love the entry with the rhymes.. that was unique. while reading the entries I thought for sure Kim would be one you would choose. Congrats to all. I tried out the core video today. It is challenging and will be a good addition to my other Fit Moms DVDs. Good luck to all and much success with the DVDs.
It’s seems like you only considered women with children and that is unfair. Just becuz someone doesn’t have kids shouldn’t disqualify them from being considered to win the DVD, or was having kids one of the qualifications for winning a DVD? I don’t remember reading anything that said that. People that don’t have kids need to strenghten their core, too!! Very unfair!!!
Kris,
Having kids was not a requirement, and wasn’t necessarily what I looked for, but someone who has given birth to 11 kids, physiologically should have a far worse core than someone who hasn’t had kids. Plus the financial strain and time restraints a family of that size would give made them a very worthy candidate, just like all the others as well!
Dustin
Kris,
I am floored by your response. I can’t believe anyone would get mad about Dustin’s good-hearted donation of not 3, but 4 DVD’s. I can guarantee Dustin read through each response and took each one into serious consideration. He gave these DVDs out of the goodness of his heart and his love of helping people…and for someone to question this, it’s unthinkable. I’m disappointed in your response.
Congrats to all of the winners! Whether you won or purchased the DVD’s – we all will benefit from improving and strengthening our core. I wish good luck to everyone on reaching their goals. Can’t wait to receive the DVD’s.
