  • What's your name? Hi, I'm Karen!
    Where do you live? Arizona
    What are your food vices/ cheats? Milano cookies, pretzels dipped in jalapeno cream cheese, flavored vodkas
    What do you think is holding you back from being in your TOP shape? If I had to pick something, it would be time. It can be difficult fitting a work out in every day when also dealing with a three year old and full time work. But I think I am doing as well as possible.
    What's your favorite exercise? This is so hard! At present, I am most excited about high intensity interval training. But I also love Zumba, Spinning, running, and yoga, especially "flow" or "vinyasa" (heated) yoga
    What exercise would you like to try this year? I read an article about one of the actresses from the show Glee who does this workout called PiBoxing (I think) and it's a combo of pilates and boxing. Seriously. Sounds so weird I just have to try it. But I think you can only find classes in LA (of course) or you have to buy a DVD. Also, I am interested in Turbo Kick/Turbo Fire
    What is your biggest trouble spot? Used to be my arms (saggy) but I have pretty much fixed that to my liking. Now I am working on making my butt look less flat and more athletic.
    What part of your body do you like the most? Right now I am liking my tummy a lot. I am not quite at a six pack but I am seeing more of my abs every day and loving it!
    What's your #1 fitness/ health goal in 2013? I really want to keep up and improve my fitness level and maintain my healthy eating habits to that I can look my absolute best for summer. It's hot here in Arizona and we don't always wear the most clothing :)
