I am from the Midwest originally, raised in the country and on a lake. I was an athlete in high school focusing on volleyball and tennis. (That was twenty-five years ago, gasp!) While I would have always considered myself active (I love to hike, walk on the beach and take my dog around the neighborhood), I wasn’t actively working out consistently and my athlete days were way behind me. With having ADHD, I struggled with the gym (too much going on around me to stay focused), long workout sessions and staying motivated. I also didn’t know how to exercise for my body in a way where I saw results. Luckily, I have always been a healthy eater, but once I turned forty, my metabolism slowed down, I was losing muscle tone and gaining weight. I also suffered a shoulder injury my first time playing pickleball!

When I first saw my friend’s fitness transformation and heard she was doing a workout that required twenty minutes of her time a week- I was intrigued! It wasn’t until months later I gave WB-EMS a try. After 4 weeks, I noticed I had an increase in strength. After 8-12 weeks, I could see my body transforming with increased muscle tone/definition and a decrease in my hip to waist ratio. I have been hooked ever since and continuing my once a week workout for twenty minutes. I have been loving the increase to my overall wellness, injury prevention and building muscle. I have since incorporated a few twenty minute yoga sessions I do from home to work on my stretching, balance and breathwork. And of course I still hike and get to the beach whenever I can!
