How long have you been a member of Fit Chick Express and what brought you here?
I have been a member of FCE for 2 years next month. I kept hearing about other women that I knew who loved their gym and decided I needed to try it.
What has been your greatest accomplishment since becoming a member of FCE?
My greatest accomplishment since I joined FCE is that my arms and core are stronger than they have ever been. I love wearing sleeveless shirts now.
What keeps you motivated? What obstacles have you had to overcome?
I stay motivated to get out of bed early every morning because I feel so much better when I start my day with exercise and the fun and laughter of boot camp. My biggest obstacle is trying not to justify eating more or junk food just because I exercised this morning. I am still working on this.
What is your favorite part of FCE?
My favorite part of FCE is when Angie follows me around telling me to “go faster” and “keep your butt down.” Seriously though, it is an incredible group of supportive women that I feel honored to be a part of. This quote from Ryunosuke Satora sums up how I feel about being a part of this community. It states, “Individually we are one drop, together we are an ocean.”
What advice would you offer to newbies?
My best advice to newbies would be to stick with it. The exercises get easier and it becomes more fun as you spend less time worrying about how to do the exercises and more time just enjoying the experience.
In one sentence how would you describe your experience at FCE.
I am so happy I joined FCE- it has made me stronger physically and mentally and I am ready to conquer anything in my path.
