Super Nova of the Month: Kelly Talavera
Celebrating Kelly: September's SuperNova!
This September, we're thrilled to shine the spotlight on an individual who embodies dedication, perseverance, and incredible progress - Kelly! Some of her personal achievements include:
Rehabilitation
She returned to Nova for post MCL/PCL surgery rehabilitation. Her knee has improved 2 months ahead of schedule!
Consistency
Since January, she has maintained a routine of 3-4 workouts per week, demonstrating her commitment to her health and fitness goals.
Transformation
Kelly's dedication goes beyond rehabilitation. Since March, she has shed 4% (equivalent to 7-8lbs) of body fat, replacing it with lean muscle mass.
Rediscovery
The improvements in Kelly's physical well-being have enabled her to rediscover her love for activities that have been paused. With no pain or fatigue, she's back to hockey 3-4 times a week, and playing pickleball and golf twice a week.
Her journey at Nova has been nothing short of inspiring, as she has conquered challenges and achieved remarkable milestones that deserve recognition. We had a chance to connect with Kelly to ask her a few questions on how she has been able to reach these goals:
1)What motivated you to start your fitness journey with Nova Health Club?
Because I live right upstairs and it’s super convenient! Lol.. kidding… all the trainers at Nova are seriously the best I’ve worked with!
2)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?
Cutting out sugar helps my weight loss tremendously. Just being consistent and going to the gym 3 times a week, even when I might not want to. By doing so, it has become a habit and my favorite part of my day.
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?
My workouts have helped me recover from knee surgery 3 months sooner than my surgeon expected. Without Graham I would not have recovered so well and so quickly. I’m a much better goalie now, I move faster and my legs don’t tire at all anymore, I have a lot more energy when playing now and My confidence in myself has never been higher.
