My Photos | HHowell Hi, I just wanted to take a minute telling you my story. I've always been an active person. But I got married, and before I knew it, I had gained 30 pds! I was teaching classes at the local gym about 5x a week, and still not able to maintain a healthy weight. Embarassed by the fact that I'm supposed to be a fitness role model, I just continued to escalate into the unhealthy eating habits. Then, I Hi, I just wanted to take a minute telling you my story. I've always been an active person. But I got married, and before I knew it, I had gained 30 pds! I was teaching classes at the local gym about 5x a week, and still not able to maintain a healthy weight. Embarassed by the fact that I'm supposed to be a fitness role model, I just continued to escalate into the unhealthy eating habits. Then, I started to educate myself. I became a certified instructor for Turbokick, the gym version of TurboJam, and started to see some results. Not until I decided to go take it more seriously and watch my eating and work out on my own instead of just in class, did I start to see the results I wanted. I'd lost 25 lbs, and then got pregnant. But the good news, after my 2nd baby now, I can honestly say that I'm thinner and healthier than before I was pregnant all due to Turbokick and the programs. After 3 mos. of giving birth, I'd lost over 40 lbs. due to Turbokick and eating better. I'm now currently working for the company, certifying others in becoming instructors, something I never thought I could do, due to the extra pounds. If there's anything I could say to you, it's to not be satisfied with where your at and to just keep on living your daily life. Do something about it! Change yourself and believe that you can have the body you want. Noone said it would be easy, but you'll feel so much better. Sure, it's easier to live a sedentary lifestyle, but you're wasting those precious years of your life doing it. I truly believe: Decide. Commit. Succeed.

I've been a fitness instructor for 7 years, and until I started Chalene's Turbo workout, I felt unmotivated and uninspired to teach class in the way that I knew it should've been taught. Teaching classes was a great workout, but after so long, it became routine and boring. But my class loves, loves, loves Chalene's workouts and so do I because they are ever changing and always fun. It has helped me stay energized and willing to continue my fitness path to succession. Having 2 babies in 2 years takes a toll on your body, but I was bound and determined to never settle for the weight I was. Always fidgeting with my shirt to make the rolls less apparent, or pulling my jeans up over the mound of fat on my stomach, it was miserable! And let's not even talk about swimsuits. But now, I choose to eat better, because when I wake in the morning, I love seeing the new changes that my body made overnight. It's addicting, and has made me so much happier. I never knew just how grumpy I was all the time, until I stopped being grumpy, and just happy again. It was worth all the sweat and hard work and has made me a much better fitness professional, wife, and mother, because I took the time to take care of myself first for once. Which in turn, I found out, made my family happier also. If there's anything I could say to encourage you, I guess that it would be, never give up. Period. No if's, and's, or but's about it. Don't let yourself quit. YOu're worth the time it takes and you deserve it. It's okay to step away from the family for a little bit and work on you. Or to say no, I don't want to eat that, thanks anyway, at a family picnic. Not only is it okay, but it's contagious. Other people will be seeing the transformation in you, and realizing that they need to live a healthier lifestyle also. And with all the options that Beachbody offers, there's no more excuses. You've run out, and now it's time to do something about it. So go ahead, let's see just how much you lose. Because I know you can do it.
