20 lbs down....

We are extremely excited to report that as of March 31st, Joan has lost an admirable 20 lbs! This exciting news comes just as the weather out in California is beginning to warm-up, and Joan will be able to get back out to the pole walking classes!

Joan has been spending a lot time with the medicine ball, which has helped her to strengthen her core. Not only are these types of exercises a lot of fun, but with the new core strength, Joan has been able to get around much easier.

We are very proud of Joan's accomplishment and look forward to more exciting developments! Stay tuned!

16 Lbs. as of Today!!!

If you couldn't figure out from the title what this post will be about let me remind you! 16 Pounds Lost!!! Joan is a machine when it comes to her work out routine and dedication. She has lost a staggering 16 pounds and is ready to keep on going. With amazing support from her trainer Brenda, Joan continues to progress. Joan exclaims, "Brenda is so inspiring and awesome to work with!" When Joan isn't hitting the weights in the weight room she is doing up to 30 minutes of cardio workouts at home! This is a huge improvement and is a great way for Joan to shed those unwanted pounds. Way to go Joan!
