Team Beachbody Guest

I grew up in the Mid-West as a slim kid who was very active in sports - volleyball, basketball and softball in junior high; cross-country and track & field throughout high school. I came to Southern California for college - and while I found a new place to call home, so did an extra 30 pounds in my body by the time I graduated. After I started dating my then-boyfriend (Jonathan - who is now my fiance), life became very comfortable, and fitness didn't have to be a priority anymore. Or so I thought. My family started noticing my weight gain, and finally expressed concern as I gained more weight. After looking through some old pictures and comparing them to more recent ones, I became disappointed with myself, and finally decided to take action. Together with Jonathan, I started hitting up the gym. But going on a treadmill or elliptical got old really fast, and I started losing my motivation. Then a friend suggested that I try Turbo Jam. Although she referred to it as "cardio kickboxing," it had really cool jams (not the typical cheesy cardio music that you're used to hearing at the gym)! I absolutely LOVE music and dancing, and was instantly hooked! I swear I was at a party every time, and totally forgot that I was working out! I got my fiance to join me; it always helps to have a workout buddy!

It took about a year's time doing Turbo Jam regularly and a few adjustments in my eating habits before I finally lost 40 POUNDS! I really want to get back to my high school weight, and I'm confident that I'll get there with the help of Beachbody! I will never give up Turbo Jam - but now, I'm currently looking to Beachbody's other offerings to help me lose that last bit of weight, and also start building a stronger, more toned body. Meanwhile, I'm also excited for this opportunity to help others get fit and create their own success stories. There's many ways to get started, including becoming a coach like me! Please check out the links below, and don't hesitate to e-mail me with any questions. Finally, I'm always open to meeting new WOWY buddies; hit me up! =)
