How long have you been a member of Fit Chick Express and what brought you here? I just celebrated my 4-year anniversary with FCE! Kim Taylor had been talking about Fit Chick and inviting me over and over and over. I finally succumbed. 🙂 I’ve always been a team sports athlete, and after 4 knee surgeries, it was time to hang up the cleats and find something new to get me back into shape.
What has been your greatest accomplishment since becoming a member of FCE? My greatest accomplishment is that I’ve stuck with this for 4 years! I’ve never ever been this committed to an exercise program. I try to come 5 days a week at 6 a.m. Oh and arm muscles. 🙂
What keeps you motivated? What obstacles have you had to overcome? I’ve NEVER been a morning person and I finally realized that the the only real time I have for myself is early in the a.m. If I don’t exercise first thing in the morning, it won’t happen. Waking up at 5:25 a.m. every day was SUPER hard at first, but now I’m used to it. I am motivated by my friends who come with me every morning in the “clown car.” When you’ve committed to carpool, it isn’t so easy to cancel!
What is your favorite part of FCE? I enjoy all of the wonderful women who come to class and make me laugh each day. What a great community! I love that every workout is different. Angie always mixes it up with a nice, challenging balance of strength and cardio over the week. Having dealt with a few injuries recently, it is nice to have suggested alternatives if you can’t do something. I also secretly enjoy the “extras” after class.
What advice would you offer to newbies? Stick with it! You will see results.
In one sentence how would you describe your experience at FCE? Fit Chick has added a special community of caring, funny, helpful and fit women to my life and I am thankful to start each day with them.
