How long have you been a member of Fit Chick Express and what brought you here? I started in September 2013 and loved the idea of being part of a community with all women.
What has been your greatest accomplishment since becoming a member of FCE? I ran my first 1/2 marathon just before I turned 40 in 2014
What keeps you motivated? What obstacles have you had to overcome? Feeling strong and in the best shape of my life continues to keep me motivated. My family is also a huge part of my drive to take care of myself and be the best role model I can be for them. Everyone is faced with obstacles but by overcoming them makes you stronger. Never ever give up and keep pushing through those times when you are struggling. Exercise is my medicine and sometimes I lose sight of that, but after a hot and sweaty workout I am quickly reminded.
What is your favorite part of FCE? I love the support and sense of community that exists here at FCE. I have been to a lot of gyms and this rare support group doesn’t exist elsewhere. It needs to starts from the top and flows down to the bottom.
What advice would you offer to newbies? Set smaller realistic goals at first and then shoot for the moon!!
In one sentence how would you describe your experience at FCE. My experience has been nothing but positive and inspiring by the amazing women in this community!!
