My desire to become a fitness professional started a few months after my personal weight loss journey at the beginning of 2011. I started by doing the EA Sports Active 2 9-week challenge, resulting in a loss of 18 pounds. I then moved on to Insanity. After completing the entire 63 days without missing a day, I was 25 inches smaller and 12 pounds lighter. After Insanity, I did the Chalene Extreme/Turbo Fire hybrid calendar. At the end of that program, I was 11 inches smaller and 10 pounds lighter.
During my Chalene Extreme/Turbo Fire program, I got the bug to teach. I attended Zumba® classes 6 days a week and one of my instructors convinced me to get licensed to instruct. While doing the hybrid calendar, I fell in love with Turbo Fire®. What can I say, I love to boogie!! By the urging of my BeachBody coach - she saw how enthusiastic I was about the program - I decided I was going to train to become a Turbo Kick® instructor. I attended the Zumba® training on October 7, 2011. I attended the Turbo Kick® training on October 8, 2011. I was determined to achieve both.
I just recently began to teach Zumba® classes and in April will start teaching Turbo Kick® at Misako Ballet.
