How long have you been a member of Fit Chick Express and what brought you here? I started Fit Chick Express over two years ago. I wanted a workout that I could do 5 days a week that was challenging without being over-the-top exhausting.
What has been your greatest accomplishment since becoming a member of FCE? I actually come to class 5 days a week. That has always been my goal, but with other workouts I honestly wasn’t that motivated and made excuses not to go. I don’t do that with bootcamp and PIYO. (Okay sometimes I do.) I just honestly love coming to class!
What keeps you motivated? What obstacles have you had to overcome? Big motivating factors for me are:1) The workouts are fun! I love the workouts because they are always different. My previous workouts (gym classes, yoga) were too predictable for me and I would get bored. 2) The women. It’s just fun to get together with a group of women who genuinely like each other and want to have fun and get healthy together. 3) It’s only 30 minutes. I can do anything for 30 minutes! 4) I feel and look better now that I’m doing bootcamp and PIYO. I rarely get sick, I’m super strong, and I just put on my first mini-skirt of the season and noticed how long and lean my legs looked! (Thanks PIYO!)
What is your favorite part of FCE? All of the above, but if I had to pick THEE number one thing I love about FCE I would say it’s the workout, namely the Bootcamp/PIYO combo. The workouts are designed to engage different muscles everyday, so I feel functionally stronger than ever. I get cardio, strength, balance and core all in one package at FCE.
What advice would you offer to newbies? One of the greatest things about FCE is that we’re just a bunch of normal women. (Well, okay not really.) What I mean is that we are not “cookie cutter”. We all have different shapes and sizes. There’s no competition or pretentious attitude. We don’t need expensive exercise clothes or gear. If you think you don’t “look right” or that you don’t have the body type for this workout, you’re wrong.
In one sentence how would you describe your experience at FCE. It’s a blast!
