Weekly Workout Schedule + FITTER 2 Coming Soon!

Hi friends! I’m writing this post early, set to auto-publish, with no real idea if I actually have power and/or internet in this moment that you’re reading this!  As of now, all the forecasts and news depict a pretty grim image of Hurricane Florence hitting the coast of the Carolinas sometime late Thursday/early Friday.  Being in Charlotte, we are about 3 hours inland, but the storm is bigger in size than the entire state of North Carolina.  It’s expected to be a Category 4 with winds up to 140mph.  I am praying for the people and homes on the coast that they are safe since they will be taking the brunt of this storm.  Most places have had mandatory evacuations, so I hope everyone got out safely.  We have been told to anticipate power outages…so who knows if and when it will come back on!  If I’m MIA on the blog this week…that’s probably why!

One other announcement….FITTER 2 is coming soon! It’s currently under production an I am so excited for everything I’m putting into this program. It’s going to be even bigger & better than the first one!

To be the first to know, be sure you’re on my email list…subscribers will be notified first of the release and will also get specials delivered to their inbox!  Get ready to STRENGTHEN. SCULPT. SWEAT. !!!!!
