Poonam Patel | Operations Manager
Her workout secret: “My workout secret is literally me doing 100 jumping jacks every now and then. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite because I wouldn’t workout if I didn’t have to—ever. But sometimes I just have one too many slices of pizza and really feel it in the evening, so I’ll try to fit in a set of 100 jumping jacks prior to hopping in the shower. I’ll throw in some squats as well if I’m feeling energized. Does it make a difference? I hope so!”
Niki Jones | Creative Director
Her workout secret: “I do chair squats at my desk every day, a minimum of 50 at a time!”
Chantal Rice | Managing Editor
Her workout secret: “Walking is my go-to workout secret. It may not seem like much, but every little step counts. Whether it’s squeezing in a 30-minute brisk walk on the treadmill, going for a two-hour trek through my neighborhood or just parking farther away from the H-E-B entrance, including walking in my daily routine makes me feel invigorated.”
Madilyn Biscoe | Marketing and Events Manager
Her workout secret: “I try to fit in 100 squats and a one-minute plank every day, whether it’s in front of the TV or waiting for my pasta water to boil. It’s not a lot, but it makes me feel like I’ve done something to work for that pasta!”
Monika Kelley | Account Executive
Her workout secret: “My favorite workout secret is to roll out of bed onto a yoga mat first thing in the morning, do 200 crunches, four sets of two-minute planks and 20 minutes of foam rolling.”
Courtney Runn | Assistant Editor
Her workout secret: “My goal this year is to workout before work more consistently. Since I’m not a morning person at all (It takes several alarm clocks to get me up, y’all!), accountability is huge. The more people I tell I’m going to run or go to the gym, the more likely I am to go. And cute workout clothes don’t hurt for motivation either!”
