Congratulations to Charmaine Arredondo as RENEW’s Client of the Month for October 2009! After having two children, Charmaine made the decision to transform her body in June 2009. Over the last five months, Charmaine has lost 41 lbs, achieved a lean 17% body fat, and will run her first ½ Marathon at the Seattle Marathon November 29th.

Her outstanding results are what most people strive for. What is the secret to her success? First, it takes a 100% commitment to reaching your goals. Second, Charmaine enlisted the help of a trainer to set up a nutrition plan to shed the weight. Third, as she began a run/walk program her fitness level improved and began to participate in events. Fourth, she began incorporating a strength program to build muscle density, increase her metabolism, to shape and sculpt her body. Finally, she has been able to maintain her success with regular assessments and truly adopting the nutrition, cardiovascular training, and strength as a healthy lifestyle.
Thank you Charmaine for being such a great example of what can be achieved with commitment, focus and hard work. You are an inspiration to us all!
