When they first came in at the beginning of June, they barely made it through their first workout (which isn’t all that uncommon). The four months since have seen them transform into fire-breathing BEASTS right before our eyes!
These sisters-by-marriage have committed to the program so fully that they are participating in their first Shred Weight Loss Contest and are formally in training for the Spartan Sprint on December 2nd! To this end, they take Spartan Training and Total Body Conditioning Classes, semi private training sessions and show up on Sundays when Will leads Adventure Race training runs. These training runs that Will leads are no joke, but they are slaying the hill sprints, calisthenics and elevation climbs with such gusto that it brings tears to our eyes!
If you want a clear and unmuddied notion of what it takes to be successful in your fitness training, look no further than Cheryl and Jennie. Here’s why:
- They train often, they train hard, they always bring their best.
- They have cleaned up their eating and use MyFitnessPal regularly to keep them on track.
- They are willing to challenge and test themselves by signing up for events like the Spartan Race even though they’ve never done anything like it before.
- They work as a team, operating with total commitment to each other’s success and supporting each other.
- They not only seem to enjoy this torture, but they bring a spirit of laughter and fun to every workout in which they participate!
