My name is Carrie and I LOVE being a Beachbody Coach! Somewhere in my college years fitness stopped being a part of my life and my weight has fluctuated ever since. Having 3 kids in just over 3 years also seemed to be a challenge for my body to adjust. The weight came off slowly after the first child, quickly after the 2nd child, and then the slowest after the 3rd. Most of

My name is Carrie and I LOVE being a Beachbody Coach! Somewhere in my college years fitness stopped being a part of my life and my weight has fluctuated ever since. Having 3 kids in just over 3 years also seemed to be a challenge for my body to adjust. The weight came off slowly after the first child, quickly after the 2nd child, and then the slowest after the 3rd. Most of
the weight came off after my 3rd child, but not all. Then, a few months after my 30th birthday, I noticed that my jeans were getting tougher to button & my shirts seemed a little shorter...finally in May 2007 I hit my heaviest point & was back into my "fat jeans" that I wore after giving birth! I even considered wearing some maternity clothes that I still had!!! There was also a picture of me at my son's 4th birthday party in May that I didn't even recognize myself! At that moment I made the decision to DO something about it. I was tired of being tired and having hardly any energy to play with my kids, and I was tired of making excuses. My husband was leaving for 6 weeks for the military so I planned for my transformation while he was gone so I could surprise him when he got home. The only problem, and the problem there always was prior to this, was I felt so guilty doing something for me! I felt guilty leaving my kids so I could go workout. I finally came to my senses & realized the most important thing - this was NOT just for me! This was for my kids, my family - they all need mom to be healthy so she can be there for them in every way that counts! I ended up losing around 20 pounds the 6 weeks my husband was gone & I loved seeing the look on his face when he saw me! It was almost like meeting for the first time again! Now we workout together and it has become a part of our family. Our children see us working out, eating healthy, and making this important lifestyle a priority!

In September 2008 I was introduced to a fitness class at the new local gym we
had joined...Turbo Kick! WOW! It was love at first class & I was hooked! After a
couple of months of going to class, my body started changing even more - my
arms started to tone up and my torso area, especially around my rib cage, was
noticeably smaller! All this just from adding the class to my fitness routine!!

We moved to Florida and unfortunately the closest gym to the base my husband
was stationed at was about 45-50 minutes away. I then turned to Beachbody &
ordered the Turbo Jam DVDs right away to keep up with some sort of fitness
schedule. I moved back to Washington in September 2008 and was eager to get
back to my gym and a normal fitness routine. In October, I got certified to be an
instructor for Turbo Kick and have been teaching TK classes, BOSU Core, Total Body Conditioning & Hip Hop since then. I absolutely love teaching and love helping people achieve their goals! I think I get more excited for someone's success story than they do!! Because of
my transformation, I now feel that this is one of my purposes in life - to help
people live a healthy lifestyle.

A special thanks goes to my husband, who has his own transformation story, but
for years he always encouraged me to start some sort of fitness routine...asking
me to go on walks, asking if I wanted to join a gym...just always a little
something in the nicest way. Without his support and him ALWAYS telling me
that I was worth it, I'm not sure I would be where I am today. I just wish I would
have listened sooner!!!!
