Who is your primary trainer?
Scott Burgamy. He is great to work with. I
appreciate his sense of humor. He keeps the
work out from being boring. He listens to my
goals and helps keep my focused not only
on the work out but also on smart food
choices and the importance of cardio.
·
Why did you decide to begin training?
What are your goals?
I needed to be stronger. I have two toddlers
and I wanted to be strong enough to pick
them up,carry them and occasionally
wrestle with them.
·
What physical differences have you
noticed since exercise became a regular part
of your life?
I have triceps. I have lost (at last measurement)
20 inches total. My body is leaner than it's ever
been.
·
What emotional differences have you
noticed since you began putting your health
as a priority?
Shelby's wall says it for me, living purposefully.
I am stronger because I work at it. If I want
to be stronger and leaner I know I will have
to continue to work at it.
·
How are you living your life differently now
that you are in better shape?
I make better (cleaner) food choices. I still
eat what I want but with an appreciation
for portion control and leaving off unnecessary
calories (in sauces, etc).
·
What do you have the confidence to do
now, that you never would have done before?
I might buy sleeveless dresses and blouses. I
would not have done that before.
·
Who have you inspired to make a
positive change in their life since
you've made a positive change in yours?
My little ones, we talk about what it takes to
keep their bodies healthy. They will tell you
they need food, water, exercise and rest.
·
What are you the most proud of? At
first I was proud of starting a program. Now
I am most proud of sticking with a program.
On the months that I plateau, showing no
real progress, it is tough. But if I am honest
with myself I know those months I could have
done better or worked harder. Some days I
don't feel like working out. But I always feel
better after I have done the work out.Even
cardio has earned its place in my hectic life.
I value the opportunity to work with the
experienced, friendly, professional staff at Shelby Murphy.
