1.  WHAT DID LIFE LOOK LIKE BEFORE YOU FOCUSED ON CONSISTENCY ON NUTRITION AND FITNESS? 

I have always enjoyed exercise and was very active and competitive growing up running cross country and track through high school. As adult life became busier with my family, career, and other competing responsibilities I have not consistently made fitness a top priority. I would register for the occasional road race; however, I would find my training would come to an abrupt ending upon crossing the finish line.

After completing the Twin Cities 10-mile race in 2021 I injured and broke my foot. This resulted in surgery with over 2 very long months of being non-weight bearing in a boot. The only mode of transportation I could manage myself was the knee scooter.

2. What made you decide to make a change? 

After graduating from the boot, knee scooter and completing PT I needed find a way to improve my mobility, flexibility and get back into shape. I register for Get Fit with a Friend with my friend Kristi. My friends Molly, Ann & Nicole have since joined and I love that we are able to enjoy this experience and opportunity to make self-care a priority. 6 months after joining The Warehouse I am approaching my 200th class. I have also been working with Nickie on assisted stretching each week, my flexibility has improved substantially as I have gained 5” in my sit and stretch. I am so excited to have fully recovered from my surgery and look forward to running the 2022 Twin Cities 10 mile in October.

3. What has changed (attitude, energy, weight, habits, priorities, race times, blood work, confidence, etc.?)

I am stronger, feel more in balance, energetic and happier. I am excited to log onto the Mindbody app at the beginning of each week and priorities my health and wellness and register for classes.

2. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WORKOUT CLASS?

I love all of them and it really depends on my mood. I love yoga for relaxation
and flexibility benefit, Barre and Oula make me happy, boxing is a
great stress reliever and boot camp stretches my strength and is very
satisfying.
