Hi. My name is Annie. I am a swim instructor, swim coach, water aerobics instructor and land aerobics instructor. I LOVE fitness. I am very happily married with three fun, thoughtful, smart, talented children and a sharp, witty and handsome husband. Our family of five boasts three dogs (two normal, one tiny), one cat and a fish named Thunder (one of the dogs is named Lightning, go figure).

We are an active family, to say the least. On any given day I am in the pool teaching or coaching for four to seven hours, my husband and I are coaching for two, the boys are on soccer and football teams while my daughter takes jazz/hip hop and all three kids are on our swim team.

Meantime I always always always always make time for TURBO JAM each day. I go through phases….I started off with POWER90 (those are still on VHS in my house, that’s how long I’ve had them) in 2000. My biceps were the envy of every man I worked with and a constant source of questions while the women tried POWER90 as well. I’d have to say that at one point, eight of the twenty waitstaff I worked with was doing POWER90. Tony kept me jumping with those bunny hops.

In 2002, I tried out SLIM IN SIX and was hooked on the shape my body took on. I would stand in front of the mirror, watching as my rear took its old place back UP where it belonged!! Finally, my behind was not below!!

I dabbled in P90X just because ...the Kenpo was awesome and the P90X is great....Tony can seriously kick anyone's bottom. My thighs were pretty tight!!

In 2004, I did quite a bit of YOGA BOOTY BALLET. It was really nice and I enjoyed the booty aspect of it the most……however, I was in a position of feeling miserable with my surroundings. I was not happy where we were living and I slowly stopped working out. I was still fairly active but not very….I gained eighteen pounds.

In early 2005 I purchased TURBO JAM. I weighed, measured and got ready…..but didn’t get far. Finally, after several weeks I held a TURBO JAM HOUSE PARTY, got a neighbor to agree to workout with me each day and off we went. Barb and I worked our tails off. On days that we could not PUSH PLAY together, we checked in with one another…we were so consistent it was outrageous. Something we noticed was that for the first week we were pretty wiped out and had a hard time going at a hard pace. THEN WEEK TWO KICKED IN AND OMG WE FELT NOTHING BUT HIGH QUALITY ENERGY. WE COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. EVERY TIME WE WORKED OUT, WE WOULD HAVE MORE ENERGY THAN WHEN WE BEGAN!!

I lost my eighteen pounds and moved away from that place that I was unhappily living in….we relocated to a wonderful town where we have a great life….my friend Barb called me a few weeks ago to thank me. She was in a bikini for the first time in twenty years..in her mid-forties. How amazing is that??

My body changed with my three pregnancies and I never thought I’d get thoroughly fit but let me tell you, POWER90, SLIM IN SIX, YOGA BOOTY BALLET AND TURBO JAM are amazing. I can’t love it more than I do and I can’t be more grateful for what these men and women have done for me. My body rocks. I turn forty two in several days and I have more energy than ever.

Workouts should do that for you, you know. GIVE you energy. Not zap it. Never should you leave a meal or a workout with less energy than when you walked in. Ever. Food and fitness should ENERGIZE you. That’s what beachbody does for me. Not only am I fit and happy, I am READY to go. Beachbody.com has been with me through thick and thin….we’re in the thin now and wow, it feels good.

Throughout my pregnancies I had to deal with weight gain. Pregnancy one, eighteen pounds….pregnancy two, thirty five and pregnancy three, SEVENTY TWO POUNDS. Beachbody.com has done an amazing job of putting my body back where it belongs. I am where I have always wanted to be. A place where my weight is a NON-ISSUE. I move throughout my day like the athlete I was born to be. How are you moving? Let me help you move like the athlete you were born to be.
