How long have you been a member of Fit Chick Express and what brought you here? It will be 5 years next month! I was coming up on a birthday milestone and I was noticing that my body wasn’t “bouncing” back from all of my bad habits like it had done before. I knew that I needed a renewed focus on physical activity and nutrition and I wanted to start the new decade off on the right foot.
What has been your greatest accomplishment since becoming a member of FCE? On multiple occasions, FCE has helped me to meet goals around weight loss and muscle toning but the greatest accomplishment is my physical ability to complete the workouts. Before FCE, I couldn’t run one mile, I was lucky if I could finish 10 pushups and I didn’t even know what burpees were. Everyday I notice my increased strength and the improvement in my endurance!
What keeps you motivated? What obstacles have you had to overcome? My motivation comes from knowing what my lifestyle would be like it I didn’t continue at FCE! I’ve seen results and I know that without FCE, I wouldn’t be as happy or healthy! Sometimes it’s a struggle to make each workout…it’s one more thing that I have to fit into my day. However, forcing myself to get there and give it my all is what has allowed me to see those results that I’m after.
What is your favorite part of FCE? My favorite part is definitely the people! I enjoy the group of ladies that I get to workout with several times a week and it makes it so much better! I love that it’s more than just a workout; it’s fun, friendship and support!
What advice would you offer to newbies? Don’t give up! Force yourself to keep coming back and pushing yourself. The physical and emotional rewards are endless!
In one sentence how would you describe your experience at FCE. My experience at FCE has been more rewarding than I could have imagined!
