I love the changing style of workouts – I never felt that I did the same thing twice!

When I first starting working out my goal was to tone my muscles; I have achieved that and more – I have lost 7 pounds and 14 inches, and most importantly, my confidence has increased.

The workouts are easily transferable anywhere: at home, on the road, in the office – as they don’t require much equipment or space.

Shawna is able to keep each workout fresh and new and is able to provide challenges that keep me motivated!

I have always been active (I play volleyball twice a week and I love to hike and cross-country ski) and tried to stay in shape, but it always seemed that I would be doing just ok. I never seemed to gain much – fitness or weight – but I never really felt good about how I looked. It was also very easy to allow things like work, errands, or other stuff get in the way of making my fitness a routine. I needed to exercise on my own. Motivation was always a struggle. Then I found Shawna, her program and her blog. I used her program and finally achieved the results I was looking for. I am so proud of my accomplishments and feel so good about how my body looks at 48 years old, that I can honestly say its better than when I was 28. My husband says I am sexier than ever.

Here are my results from the last year of my new fitness life…

Shawna, I just want to thank you for all of your support, your motivation, your nutrition and exercise tips and programs and for being my “guru” whenever I had questions. It means the world to me to know you are there “in my back pocket” and I am very excited about my middle years and all it has to offer because of my new found lifestyle. It just goes to show that if a person really wants to do something, really puts the effort in, things will happen and success will be there.  Making fitness a very important part of my day – when I don’t do it I feel tired and have no energy – is just mind over matter.  Make up your mind to do it and it does matter! Its a “for me” time now and that’s how its going to be for the rest of my life.

I started Shawna’s workouts a year ago after becoming fed up with the “light living” orders given to me by my back care team including doctors/physios/chiropractors. Just over 3 yrs ago I was in a car accident and I fractured several vertebrae in my neck and compressed discs. The pain took over my once very active life. I was miserable. Then, one day I had had enough and in the midst of great frustration I found Shawna and her workouts. My reasons for incorporating exercise into my life were not the typical ones. I wanted to get moving again. I began workouts slowly, no weights, active range of motion only, easy on the cardio. Shawna had modifications for every exercise. Month after month I was able to slowly increase my weights and quickly decrease the amounts of narcotics I was consuming. Amazing. After years of drugs and therapy, here I was working out and finding myself in less pain than ever.

I love every moment of Shawna’s workouts. I have lost countless inches and over 20 lbs. My back is stronger than ever and my back care team is amazed at how much core stability and back strength I have gained. AND I look fantastic! I owe the renewed spring in my step as well as the rediscovery of my mental and physical health to Shawna, her workouts and her blog posts. This has truly changed my life. Thank you Shawna for believing in me, encouraging me and metaphorically holding my hand through this past year. You have me hooked forever!!
