TELL US MORE ABOUT YOU
I am a strong 54 year old woman from Puerto Rico who came to USA in 1994. I am the mom of 2 grown children, 3 grown stepchildren along with my Chihuahua and 15 Chickens! My goal was to become truly fit over 50!
I worked for over 9 years as an Extruder Operator while living in OH, but found the time to hit the gym occasionally. I’m currently a Master Hose Technician and have been able to add more gym time ever since. By chance in my mid 40’s, I saw a Pole Academy and decided to “try it out for fun” thinking it was going to be “go-go bar” twirling around a pole. I was 100% wrong, as this place was all about how to be fit while using a Pole!!!
This led me to train more my upper body and core like never before. While training to compete at a pole organization event, I decided to do a Spartan Race Super which is significantly longer and more difficult than a regular Spartan Race with 25 obstacles over 10 kilometers. Not knowing at all what it was, I initially though I would be running around a park going over logs, swing sets and hanging at the monkey bars. Well, I was +100% wrong!!! It was incredibly challenging and the obstacles pushed me to my limits.
Although I barely could walk for over 1 week, I did very well at most obstacles, thanks to my upper body strength. I got hooked into Obstacle Racing and ended doing a Spartan Trifecta (Open Division)that year. With my eye toward really becoming fit at 50, this led me shake up my fitness round and begin adding in more functional / mobility training.
I enrolled in Spartan Race Competitive Division earning 3 Trifectas. Really enjoying those, I added other Obstacle Races like SavageRace, BoneFrog, RuggedManiac…and completed a Marathon. This same year, I took “a dare” from my hubby to do a Bikini Body event and ended up qualifying to compete in Nationals for the Masters 45+ division.
WHAT THINGS HAPPENED THAT LED YOU TO WORKING WITH ONLINE FITNESS COACH, JULIE LOHRE?
Even though I had been athletic, I wanted to see what was possible for my body and if I could get and stay fit over 50. While looking at bikini competitor posing photos and videos, I came across Julie Lohre and her Online Figure and Bikini Competition Training Program.
What came to my mind was “I wonder if this chick can make my skinny legs grow…”. It was like “it was meant to be” because I reached out to her right away and it was one of my best fitness decision I have ever made! Yes, Julie Lohre have made my legs and glutes grow!!! While also helping tighten and define my whole body unlike ever before… AND AT 54!!!
TELL US ABOUT THE PROGRESS YOU HAVE MADE IN YOUR JOURNEY TO BE TRULY FIT OVER 50
When I did my OCR training, I was strong but I did have bodyfat covering ab, glutes, and legs that I need it to take care of if I wanted to truly be fit over 50. Thanks to Julie Lohre’s meal plan and Beverly International Supplements along with balancing in really strong workouts, I am at 113-115 lbs of lean muscle….including bigger legs!!! The great part is, I have been able to maintain my strength – or even get stronger – while getting this lean. What I think made the most difference was how Julie helped me make a metabolic shift in my 50’s by adding muscle as I lost bodyfat. I ended up smaller, but way tighter and more defined. In fact, I lost more than 15 pounds on the scale with at least 5 of those pounds being bodyfat!
HOW DID YOU FIND OUT ABOUT JULIE LOHRE’S ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINING PROGRAM?
I was doing my research on personal trainers and Julie Lohre was the very first trainer I found online! I love that she works exclusively with women and has a great fit over 50 weight loss plan. If you have not checked out her client success stories, you should do that! I read every one of them before committing.
WHAT WAS THE HARDEST PART OF MAKING YOUR FIT OVER 50 TRANSFORMATION?
Surprisingly, none! Once I set a goal, I’m so focus which makes me not to miss a favorite foods in my quest to be a fit over 50 female. With her online training program, Julie changed my meal plans frequently depending on how my body was responding. Incorporating her delicious treats, using her Beverly International Ultimate Muscle Protein, will take any possible sweet craving out of my mind.
HOW DO YOU FEEL NOW THAT YOU HAVE MADE AN INCREDIBLE FIT OVER 50 TRANSFORMATION? HOW HAS YOUR OUTLOOK ABOUT YOU AND YOUR LIFE CHANGED?
I am feeling great and motivated. I get a lot of compliments at work, my gym, my pole fitness classes…even my family and friends. Even my Chickens seem to have noticed how fit I am over 50! (lol!!)
WHAT SUPPLEMENTS DID YOU USE DURING THE PROCESS?
I used all supplements recommended by Julie. She did not push me to use them, nor made me feel I had to. I felt confident of her program and I wanted to follow it to a “T”. I decided to use her recommended supplements which helped immensely on my fit over 50 journey.
