    3. What’s the most recent diet/plan you've been following?
    4. Tell us about your first ever Gym day.
    5. What’s your favorite place to workout? Why?
    6. Share with us a fun woukout experience you’ve had recently.
    7. What is your favorite workout song.
    8. How long have you been with our F2F group?
    9. What’s your favorite sport or physical activity?
    10. What’s your favorite healthy dish to cook for friends? For just you?
    11. What is your favorite workout attire?
    12. When/what time do you prefer to workout?
    13. What’s your morning ritual like?
    14. How do you get your workout in on a rainy day?
    15. Can you share one quote or saying you love, that keeps you going?
    16. Which person in your life do you most admire? Why?
    17. If you could go back in time and change history, what would you change? Why?
    18. What would you do in life if you knew you couldn’t fail?
    19. Group workouts or workout on your own?

    15. My number one quote is "bear and forbear". It is from the philosopher Epictetus. Bearing the things I can't control, and not being too attached to "good things". Courage and temperance is what I get out of it. Keeps me on an even keel.

    That is some list of questions, @mari_moulin ! I hope everyone in the team picks at least a couple to answer. I'm going to start with #1. I'm an orderly kind of person, but I also love chaos, so after this I'll jump around!

    My fave move that I have ever learned is the Turkish Get Up. All you really do is get up from lying on the ground, and then go back again. While holding a fairly heavy kettlebell or other weight up in the air. And in a very specific order. I love this move, and go back to it often. A good video intro is https://www.shape.com/fitness/videos/video-tutorial-how-do-turkish-get-up but there are many. It is best to start with the "half getup" and then go on. It looks simple, it feels simple once you know all the parts, and it works all kinds of different muscles.

    I also really like palov circles and what I call the "dying fish" where you roll over on a mat without the arms or legs touching. Other people call it the superman banana roll! It's #3 on https://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-24268/5-core-exercises-that-arent-crunches.html FUN. Be sure to use a really thick mat - I got bruises on my hips doing this on a hard surface...

    This is the first time I’ve ever heard of this move. Sounds hard! I’m gonna have to give it a try! They all sound fun actually! Yes is for sharing!

    Alright I’m gonna do 5 a day. Let’s see...


    1. What was the best workout move you’ve ever done? And the worst?

    Best workout move has for to be the burpee. I first discovered this with ShawnT and did it modified for a very long time. I can now doe it on the floor but still partially modified as I can’t do jump back yet so I step back instead.

    Worst move would have to be lunges. I feel like I never do them right. I’m all over the place.

    2. What’s the best recipe you’ve EVER made?

    The best recipe I’ve made has got to be poulet basquaise in my pressure cooker. OMG lots of veggies and chicken and you can side it with rice or quinoa or just on its own. It’s so flavorful and has the house smelling glorious.

    3. What’s the most recent diet/plan you've been following?

    The most recent diet plan I’ve been doing is Intermittent Fasting along with CICO.

    4. Tell us about your first ever Gym day.

    First gym day ever was when I was about 19 years old. I joined a gym with my friend and we paid for our membership. I went once and never went back again. I felt so insecure the whole time and felt like all eyes were watching me. Worst experience ever. (I love the gym now)


    5. What’s your favorite place to workout? Why?

    I think this has to be at the gym. I enjoy this ME time and really like listening to my music and just being in my own world.

    Ditto here. I am working on a "to do" list for tomorrow so I don't get bored and start "grazing". Answering the questions will be a good way to spend a but of the day (cleaning the house being another!)
