With spring break on the way, senior Anna Moody is working hard to get in shape. Moody joined the Extreme Bodyshaping (FXB) Course at Farrell’s gym, which is a 10-week program built on kickboxing, resistance training and a nutrition plan.
Moody works out six days a week Monday through Saturday at Farrell’s.
“I wake up at 5:30 in the morning to get there by 6,” said Moody. “It was hard at first, but once you get in the habit it gets easier.”
Moody’s goals are to slim down and create a healthy lifestyle for herself. The nutrition plan at FXB stresses eating six meals a day.
Susan Weiss is a trainer for FXB and is Moody’s coach.
“We try to encourage our students to look at eating food as fuel for the body,” Weiss said.
Moody said that she has a specific motivation for participating.
“My motivation is to look good in Mexico over break,” Moody said.
The specific goal for the program is to promote a healthy, active lifestyle encouraging cardio vascular training.
“The fact that Anna Moody is participating in the program as a young woman about to head off to college is remarkable,” Weiss said. “If she can incorporate what we are trying to teach her, she just may avoid the ‘freshmen fifteen’ next year.”
According to Weiss, Anna is establishing a healthy framework around which to build her life.
According to www.extremebodyshaping.com, “FXB puts you on the right road to a healthy lifestyle, one that you can follow for years.”
