A few fun, quick-shot questions, for the fearless, fittest, Fusion’ist girl we know to help us get ready for the holidays, which are fast-approaching….
Q: Best tip for staying fit and on-track during the holiday season?
A: Be sure to eat a healthy snack and drink 2 glasses of water before heading out to holiday parties and happy hours. And, whatever you do, DON’T skip your workouts just because life is hectic during the holidays!
Q: Stuffed from stuffing… Best exercise to keep our abs flat and our energy strong.
A: Plank variations… Bent-arm plank, plank knee-pulls, plank knee-drops, and plank hip-dips.
Q: Sweat then Sweet: Favorite high-intensity sweat session and favorite sweet treat?
A: SWEAT… I love HIIT (high intensity interval classes). These classes are fun! I am drenched in sweat after the first 5 minutes. SWEET… Dark chocolate covered frozen bananas!
Q: PG or R: Pumpkin Pie or Naughty Pumpkin Cocktail (with pumpkin pie infused vodka)
A: R rated please! If I am going to consume those calories… the pumpkin cocktail is my choice!
Q: Favorite get-psyched song for Thanksgiving to get us in the full-on holiday-spirit?
A: Liquid Spirit from Gregory Porter. This tune has a great beat. It’s motivating and fun to move to!
Q: Through your high-energy, super-fun Fusion program, you have created such a positive, awesome, welcoming, tight-knit community. We are certain your “Fusionistas” are very thankful for you and for Fusion. For whom — or what — are you the most thankful?
A: My husband. He makes sacrifices for our family and our studios on a daily basis. And, all the while, he is excelling at his own career. He builds up my self-confidence, and he also takes care of the unfavorable tasks at the studio (think, toilets, light bulbs, taxes, etc…).
Q: Getting ready for the holidays, so we’re making a list… “Mom, Entrepreneur, Bad Ass, Legend, Motivator, Wife, Athlete, Good-Time Bringer, Rockstar…” What else should be on this list to describe you?
A: Those are all very kind. I am flattered! Thank you. If I had to add one, it would be Loyal Friend. I could not do what I do without the amazing friends who surround, support and work with me. I am so lucky to have such great friends. And I truly believe the best way to have and keep great friends is to be a great friend yourself. I love and treat my friends the best way I can, and I would do anything for them. The best part of owning your own business is that you are the decision-maker and get to choose who works with you. Every girl I work with is a girl I would also pick to be my friend! This is huge part of what makes Fusion so special.
