Q: What kind of results have you seen with Pvolve?
Pvolve really showed me it’s possible to build muscle in really specific targeted areas without killing yourself doing high intensity workouts. I was always insecure about my lack of booty muscle and felt like the workouts I was doing to try and build that muscle were targeting my thighs and legs and all the wrong areas. On top of that, I am prone to headaches and found that high intensity workouts didn’t leave me feeling energized, but rather depleted. After discovering Pvolve about 6 years ago I realized that I could activate those booty muscles in a really targeted and intentional way by doing micro movements that left me feeling strong rather than destroyed.
Q: During what part of your fitness journey did you discover Pvolve?
When I first discovered Pvolve I was in a space where I viewed fitness as something that didn’t really work for me in the way that I wanted it to. I didn’t feel drawn to exercise because I felt that “working out” meant intense cardio and high intensity commitments. I found Pvolve at a time when I didn’t really think I could love working out and moving my body, and it really showed me that smaller, precise moves can have a big impact to your body.
Q: How has Pvolve strengthened you (mentally, physically) in your personal and professional life?
I find strength and empowerment from being able to build muscle and get some intentional movement in no matter where I am in the world, so long as I have wifi connection.
Q: How do you like to practice the Method? At home between meetings? When the kids are sleeping? In the morning to kick off your day?
Pvolve has given me the ability to get into a rhythm while on the go. I travel so much throughout the year, and with a hectic and ever-changing schedule while traveling I have relied on Pvolve throughout my many trips to move my body in a way I know my muscles will respond to. It is incredible to have a workout program that I can rely on to use while I travel because so much of my travel life is unpredictable, like where I am sleeping, what I am eating, and how active I am.
Q: Favorite piece of Pvolve equipment?
I love the P.ball! I love that it is so multifaceted as a piece of equipment and can be used to tone the inner thighs, keep you in your p.stance, work as a resistance band for above the knees or the ankles, and it’s unlike anything else on the market!
Q: Go-to pre or post workout snack?
I love making protein oatmeal after a workout! I mix my favorite protein powder into oats, and then top it with full fat greek yogurt, fruit and honey! If I am in a savory mood, I love to make eggs and avocado with feta cheese!
Q: Favorite music or playlist to work out to?
Two Friends big booty mixes! The best!!!
Q: Where can we find you when you’re not working out?
These days, at the beach!
