Super Nova of the Month: Christine Peters

Congratulations to Christine Peters, our July SuperNova!

Christine has been a long time member training consistently 3x/wk. Recently she stacked a few lifestyle habits on top of her training which skyrocketed her results! Here are some of the highlights:

• Since January she has dropped 5% body fat and 10lbs of not total weight but fat! 
• Incorporated additional movement outside of her workouts (NEAT). 
• Learned about macronutrient type, timing and amount
• Rehabbed a shoulder and hip to setting personal bests in squats and push ups!

We askedChristine about her success and some specific strategies she used. Here is what she had to say:

1) As one of our longest members, what has helped you stay so dedicated to your fitness routine and continuing to train with Nova?

I believe it is the professional, knowledgeable Nova trainers and the consistency of the workouts that have kept me dedicated.

2) In the last few months you have made some significant breakthroughs with your health and fitness. Can you share some key strategies or habits that helped you achieve your success? Any specific workouts, diets, or routines that made a significant difference? 

Zack and I spent quite a bit of time discussing a healthy diet relating to fat loss and muscle mass.   He certainly helped me dispel some of my old  beliefs on what losing weight looks like now. He was also full of suggestions on eating a clean diet with some weekend exceptions which made it more of a lifestyle diet. I have also added Pilates three  times a week and horseback riding.  Adding other activities has made exercising more enjoyable.

3) In what ways have you noticed positive changes in areas outside of fitness such as in your mental well-being, energy levels, or overall confidence?

I definitely have more energy.  I also believe working out has helped my stress levels immensely as well.

4)Now that you have momentum with your fitness and see your goals coming to fruition, do you notice that you are starting to look beyond your original goal? If so, what new goals are you starting to set your sights on that you want to achieve next?

I just am grateful to now understand how diet and exercise truly work when combined in the right way.   I don’t have any real goals but am committed to continue on the fat loss, muscle gain journey.

We are very proud of Christine and she's an example of what happens when you have the right combination of exercise with nutrition. 

If you want to get better body composition results, take note of two things Christine has highlighted:

1)NEAT - Non Exercise Active Thermogenesis and
2)Macronutrient type, timing and amount
