Before and after my first 5k obstacle course.
Earlier this year my husband and I started making a concerted effort to be healthier. We began eating at home more, making healthier meals and avoiding a lot of extra sugars and carbs. We also started being more active. I began running 2-3 times a week and got back into rowing, which I hadn’t done since before my daughter was born. In fact, I even completed my first 5k obstacle course a few weeks ago! At the border of plus-size and “regular” sizes, I don’t look like your typical athlete, but you know what I discovered? It doesn’t matter! My muscles became more toned, I had more energy and I felt much more confident in myself.
Louise Green
This is exactly what one of our clients, Louise Green, preaches. As she says, “The size of your body doesn’t determine your athletic dreams.” A plus-size woman herself, she regularly trains and competes in half marathons and races.
In addition to her book coming out next year, Louise is an active blogger, health and wellness retreat specialist and highly sought-after speaker. What I really love is how inspiring she is! Louise proves that you can be healthy, fit and plus size, despite society’s misconceptions. She demonstrates that positive body image comes in all shapes and sizes, and there are no limits to pursuing athletic dreams.
Women working out at Body Exchange
Louise also started the Body Exchange, an exercise boot camp, to help other plus-size women pursue health and fitness. I really wish they had a location close to me, because it sounds super fun! They get together and exercise in an encouraging atmosphere, and go on vacations where they get to work out in beautiful locations and take advantage of local adventures. They even have a trip to Mexico coming up soon!
