Why did you decide to join the challenge?

To help keep focus on my fitness goals during a really busy time of year.

Showing up! Not giving in to excuses to not exercise and setting achievable personal goals each week (such as improving my running pace, increasing my distance, etc).

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

Find your own way to make exercise enjoyable. I have a podcast that I love and made a rule I can only listen to it while walking or own the stair master. Makes me look forward to getting moving!

Most Workouts & Biggest Strength Increase – Taylah H.

I’ve been really inspired by other people’s results in previous challenges and wanted to see how much of a difference I could make for myself

What made the biggest impact on your results?

Having Mak as my PT has helped with everything – keeping me motivated, and always pushing me. Also seeing numbers on the scale drop down every time I’d step on it was a really nice feeling :))

What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?

Do it and get a PT if you don’t know where to start
