"This is where I started in 2021....after a year of listening to Coach Mama Fox say how important movement was....
"I would hear her, but I wouldn't actually listen and do it.....until January of 2021 I decided to start getting up every morning and working out with Pahla B....
"So I began....with these little 2 and 3 pound weights....exercising with her daily, Monday-Friday.... and gradually building stamina and strength.....
"Yes I have moved beyond those "tiny" weights and so can you!!
"One day at a time, one workout at a time, one pound at a time!!!!
"Don't despise the day of small beginnings ladies...who knows where you will end up!?!?!?!?!"
Mama Shelly shared this over in our Foxy Over Forty community today. What she *didn't* say is that she is now a certified personal trainer who lifts HEAVY and works with women in her personal gym, wherever they are starting out.
She's come a LONG way, baby! ;)
Shelly inspires me to keep working at moving my body with purpose and to continue challenging myself to not settle for less than what I am capable of doing. Whether that's lifting heavier, walking a little more, or drinking water upon waking - being in community with a mama like Shelly is a HUGE blessing and help in my health journey.
If you are an over-40 (or beyond!) mama who's trying to make positive health changes and want to be around other "sharp knives" doing the same, come join my free community and let's sharpen and encourage one another!
