ABOUT HEATHER
| Heather was introduced to the world of Zumba Fitness when she attended her first ZUMBA® fitness class in May, 2008. She was immediately "hooked" and became an instructor that same month. She's been teaching ever since and her passion for dance fitness (or she calls it, "exercise in disguise") continues to grow daily. Here's her story: In February '08, Heather had her 38 yr. physical. The result from her physical was the lowest moment of her life. She was the heaviest she ever was, she couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without stopping to catch her breath and rest. She was on medication for A.D.D. and an anxiety disorder with side effects that not only had her gain weight, but also took away her personality, making her feel like a "zombie". And, the doctor had just told her that her "numbers" (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL, etc.) were already in the danger zone at her age. And, with her family history of heart disease (and her current heart condition), she knew that she needed to find something that would work. She paid for a personal trainer at a gym and worked out 5 days a week for 2 1/2 hours a week and saw absolutely NO results...she tried every diet and joined every weight loss program that is out there and again, saw absolutely NO results. From February to May she tried EVERYTHING, and yet she did not lose ONE pound, and did not lose ONE inch. Just as she was ready to give up, she was introduced to Zumba. Since starting ZUMBA® in May '08, she has lost 47 lbs. and went from a size 22 to a 14. (In SIX MONTHS she lost 40 lbs, and went from a 22 to a 16..and that was doing ONLY 3 classes a week - no dieting...the only "sacrifice" she made was she changed all of her drinking to water - she still ate the food she loved...including her favorite Reece's Sonic Blast!) She has not only managed to KEEP THE WEIGHT AND INCHES OFF for 2 years, but she also went back for her 40 year physical in February '10, and here's the results she received: Cholesterol improved 40 pts. HDLs improved 25 pts. LDLs improved 33 pts. Triglycerides improved 54 pts. The doctor told Heather that her triglycerides were “non-existent” and that she had the health of a 24 year old!!!!!! Her ADD and Anxiety Disorder?....Well, she is medication FREE – the Endorphins released from Zumba is enough to allow her to NOT be on medication for her disorders. And the biggest miracle? Her heart condition is…GONE!!!! She has NO heart condition now! *And this is ONLY from attending her Zumba fitness classes a minimum of 3 times a week...no dieting, no "sacrificing", just ZUMBA!! (She wanted to be a walking billboard for the Zumba program - to prove that you could get results with JUST Zumba and maintain them...please note that you can get BETTER results if you add a good diet program and other weight training with Zumba....she was just "keeping it real and REALISTIC" for the Moms and busy ladies out there!) And her weight and inch loss total? Inches: She lost over 22 inches total; including 5.5 inches in EACH arm (thanks to Zumba Toning), 5 inches in the waist, 3 inches in the hips, 1.5 inches in EACH thigh Heather's hope is to help others reach their fitness and body image goals while actually ENJOYING exercise. It doesn't have to be a CHORE...it really CAN be a party!! Heather DESPISES exercise...in fact, she has said plenty of times, "The day this becomes actual "exercise" is the day I shut the studio doors FOREVER!" The philosophy that Heather has for her Zumba Fitness classes is that they are really just PARTIES, where we happen to burn calories and get in shape as a bonus. If you hate to exercise, you GOTTA try a Zumba Fitness or Zumba Toning class with Heather! You'll be shocked at how fun fitness can actually be! Heather holds licenses to teach ZUMBA Fitness, ZUMBA Toning, ZUMBA Gold, Aqua ZUMBA and ZUMBAtomic. She also is AFAA certified and has completed the AFAA Practical Pilates workshop and is CPR Certified. Due to the fact that she's maintained her 47 pound loss for several months, she decided she needed to "kick start" the weight loss again. (She still wants to lose her final 20 pounds!) She was introduced to Precision3 products, including the Slimmer patch and began using them. She LOVES the all natural aspect to the product and is very happy to already see herself losing pounds AND not being hungry! Yes...she has made the choice to eat healthier (she still enjoys the Reece's Sonic blasts, only once a week now rather than whenever she wants.) The combination of Zumba Fitness along with Zumba Toning and Pilates AND the work of the Slimmer Patch has been AMAZING!!!! Join Heather in her quest for a "bathing suit body" this summer!! Join her classes and start using the Slimmer patch TODAY! |
