Hey Chicks<\/p>\n

We wanted to take this time to celebrate an awesome and valuable member of the FIT CHICKS family\u00a0who has almost been with us for 2 years<\/strong> teaching bootcamp\u00a0 and helping chicks reach their fab fitness goals!<\/p>\n

\"FIT<\/a>

Dana rocking her "Fierce, Sassy, Sexy" Tshirt - so fab!<\/p><\/div>\n

Dana is our Chick Sergeant at the Toronto North (Forest Hill) bootcamp<\/a> location and she has been kicking chicks butt since May 2010.<\/p>\n

We are so proud of her dedication, passion and hard work she puts into her chicks<\/strong> and her camp each everyday and wanted to take a moment to give her a huge shout and celebrate her hard work.\u00a0 We could tell you but thought it would be more fun for Dana to tell you herself:)<\/p>\n

So here is Dana to share a few things about her and what she loves about bootcamp, teaching and living la vida FIT CHICK…take it away chick! <\/strong><\/p>\n

What is your fav exercise\/workout in bootcamp to get your chicks results and why?<\/h3>\n

My favorite exercises and workouts at bootcamp are kicks and punches and the “Charleston”!\u00a0 I love kicks and punches because I come from a martial art background <\/strong>and it’s fun, different, takes a bit of skill and you can get some of your aggression out from the day.\u00a0 Also, I really enjoy bringing styles of punches that I’ve learnt through Kung Fu and giving them a cardio feeling!\u00a0 The Charleston is also really fun!\u00a0 It’s a 1920s style dance move and you can jazz it up to add extra funk!<\/p>\n

What motivates you to be a bootcamp fitness instructor (and a fitness professional in general)?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I am motivated to be a bootcamp instructor as fitness and being physical has always been a way of life for me<\/strong>.\u00a0 I would like to share that feeling with others in the city.\u00a0 That working out doesn’t need to be a chore or something you feel forced to do but can become a way of life liking reading the paper daily or watching your favourite TV show.\u00a0 It’s a way to make new friends too.\u00a0 I have many new girlfriends that I have met through the Fit Chicks community<\/strong>.\u00a0 My hope is to pass on that outlook to all the Chicks I teach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What are your top 3 “must haves”\u00a0that you include in\u00a0your personal workouts?<\/h3>\n

\u00a0My top 3 must haves in my personal workout include;<\/p>\n

1) a long jog to clear my thoughts<\/strong> of the day or week and to work on my endurance (I am working towards a triathlon this summer)<\/p>\n

2) gymnastic\/yoga style balancing moves<\/strong> including headstands, handstands and the bridge<\/p>\n

3) abs, core, abs and more core!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks for sharing Dana – you such an amazing part of our team and family\u00a0 and we are lucky to have you!\u00a0 Keep rockin’ chick!<\/strong><\/p>\n

And you can sweat up a storm with the fierce Dana (she will kick your butt “tough love” style!) at our March Sessions starting March 5th.<\/a>\u00a0And not to worry about March Break – we are closed that week so you don’t lose your classes!<\/p>\n

Have a fab day!<\/p>\n
