And when it comes to turning people who thought, I can\u2019t do that! into Oh snap, I really can! or \u201cI\u2019m too fat!\u201d into \u201cDamn I\u2019m fabulous\u201d \u2013 she&#8217;s the one. Oreet has 20+ years of experience as a fitness instructor plus grew up with art form of bellydance and has led packed classes and workshops in the U.S. and Japan. She&#8217;s been featured on NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN to name a few and have the titles Bellydancer of the Year, Jewel of the Nile, Entertainer of the Year and Middle Eastern Dance Champion of North America. She\u2019s worked with hundreds of women and men who have found success in meeting their fitness goals as well as discovering this new passion called Bellydance! And when Oreet\u2019s not teaching classes or mentoring new instructors you can find her working on her new online project, doing yoga, rolling around with her kids and hubby and sipping wine.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve just GOT to know more\u2026She&#8217;s obsessed with shows about wedding gowns; She&#8217;s living proof that you can look bigger than you are on stage! (Even at 4\u201910. Shhhh..don\u2019t tell); She goes through virtuous spurts of trying to drink 1 glass of wine a week but she has 2 small kids, so ain\u2019t happening. (Don\u2019t judge); And Bikram yoga keeps her sane.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Resources Mentioned:<\/strong><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a style=\"font-size: 16px;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.sharqui.com\/\">www.sharqui.com<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@SharQuiworkout<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@sharQuiworkout<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>FREE OFFER &#8211; FREE DIGITAL CLASS:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sharqui.com\/\">www.sharqui.com<\/a> to optin for a FREE digital class<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sharqui.com\/\"><span><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<h1><strong>Killer\u00a0Resources!<\/strong><\/h1>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicksacademy.com\/fitness-nutrition-expert-program\/\">Fitness &amp; Nutrition Expert Program:<\/a> \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Get certified\u00a0in fitness, nutrition, wellness &amp; business in 12 weeks!\u00a0Registration is open for the Sept 27, 2017<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fitchicksacademy.com\/natural-weight-loss-coach-program\/\"><b>Natural Weight Loss Coach<\/b><\/a>: Become a nutrition weight loss expert! \u00a08 week program starts Oct 23, 2017<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h1><strong>Want to help support the show?<\/strong><\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Subscribe to us on <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/ca\/podcast\/fit-chicks-chat\/id1112631196?mt=2\">iTunes<\/a>\u00a0and leave a review.
