We LUV travelling with our clients on their fitness journey. How Charmaine changed her outlook on fitness and herself.
Like most of you, Charmaine's life is pretty
hectic. She wants to be healthy and have the energy to keep up with her kids to
be the best mom she can be!With such a busy schedule, how does she find the balance to live a healthy life?
Charmaine and her hubby schedule their workouts so that one of
them can be with the kids while the other one gets in their training. If they
aren’t scheduled, it’s not going to get done. Active family time is key - going
for walks, playing sports or going swimming together.
Has exercise always been important to her?
She never used to like exercise but
now LUVs it. It helps her reduce stress and gives her energy. Exercise no
longer feels like a chore, but rather something that she looks forward to.
What kind of exercise does she LUV?
Kickboxing classes and the Tabata circuits
that we throw into our bootcamp. The variety and fast pace makes the time fly
by and it quickly burns fat and builds muscle!
And the exercise she dislikes the most?
Yup… the full body gauntlet called
the burpee :)
What was her ‘aha’ moment?
In January, Charmaine participated in
our #FatBlast50 transformation challenge. She eliminated sugars & grains. On top of that, she strived to exercise
for 30 minutes a day and track everything to stay accountable. Yep, for 50
days!
She was the queen of tracking and
this allowed her to really listen to her body. Once she eliminated grains and
sugar from her diet, she felt better than she ever thought possible - more
energy, better sleep and improved mood. In
those 50 days, she shed 11lbs and 9.5 inches!
What’s her go to for breakfast?
A delish smoothie every morning with
protein powder, greens, berries and chia or flax seeds, a healthy habit she developed
during #FatBlast50.
No more eating bread and grains for her?
Eating grains are now the exception,
not the norm, and she feels fabulous! She does have a go to “cheat” meal of
tortilla chips, salsa and fajitas from Lone Star. (who can blame her, they do
taste amazing :)
She’s got more energy for her kids and can fit back into her old jeans!
Charmaine has found the key in her
lifestyle to keep up with her kids, fit into her old pair of jeans and enjoy
her life in the healthiest way possible:
- She schedules her workouts multiple times a week! (consistency is so key)
- Her workouts are short, intense and effective (40min bootcamp classes – you don’t need to have boring workouts in a gym, endless miles on the treadmill or train like a body builder)
- She has learned to listen to her body while changing her diet and making informed choices about food (and never feels like she’s starving herself)
We feel so privileged to be a part of
Charmaine’s health and fitness journey.
