Our
mom of the month program honors moms for their efforts to lead
healthy lifestyles, and gives us a chance to get to know them better
at the same time!
August's featured "Mom of the Month" is: Jennifer Frederick!
Congrats Jennifer!
What is your favorite exercise? I love planks, may sound strange but it's one of the few exercises that you can do that targets most muscle groups. Then would be tuck-ups on the ball, v-sit twists and lunges.
What is your proudest moment? My 20 min plank for sure! I worked so hard to get to my goal and I passed it!
What are three of your favorite things (besides your family!)? Family beach trips, shopping and sushi.
Tell us something about yourself that would surprise us or makes you unique. Let's see...maybe that there isn't one vegetable that I don't like! I grew up vegetarian for the first 18 years of my life and grew to love everything...even the weird ones!
If we asked your spouse what they think your best qualities are, what would they say? Kindness and consideration of others, and that I am always smiling :)
What advice would you give to moms looking to get back into shape? Try Body Back!! No matter what shape you are in, this is the most supportive group of moms you will find. From the food guidance, great workouts and always having a group of girls that you can talk to through your journey means everything. And at the end of the session, you will be shocked at the inches lost!
Jennifer has been participating in our Body Back health & fitness program for moms since early 2013. She has made amazing strides in her health & fitness and brought a great energy and joy to her workouts and to our group of moms. She recently beat all local "plank" records accomplishing a 20 (!!!) minute plank at Body Back. She works hard at every workout, with a smile. We are glad to have her as part of our program!
Join us in congratulating Jennifer and read on to get to know her a little better!

Hometown: Pink Hill, NC (A small farm town outside Kinston, NC)
Current part of the Triangle that you live in: Apex
Education: BS in Nutrition at East Carolina University
Body Back Member since: I started Body Back in early 2013
Members of
your Family: My husband Chris and I have two sweet boys, Owen just
turned 5 in July and Nathan is 2 1/2 and will be 3 Valentine's Day!
Tell us about your children: Owen
starts kindergarten this year and is such a fun and loving little guy.
He can make friends with anyone and his favorite place to be is at the
beach. Nate is in an early preschool program and loves being the class
helper. He loves his big brother and wants to do everything he does.
Their latest obsession is playing Mario Kart Wii :)
Current/previous Career: Before
moving to NC 2 years ago we lived in DC and I worked for a Venture
Capital Firm. I stayed home with the boys for a while then started
working part time doing HR/Operations for a Recruiting firm.
What
was your childhood ambition? I always wanted to be in the medical field
but found out early in college that I didn't have the stomach for
nursing school...so I choose Nutrition.
What
does motherhood mean to you? Being a mom means the world to me. It's
the hardest and the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I couldn't
imagine my life without my crazy boys.
What is the furthest you have been from home? Probably Hawaii, and for me who does not like flying, it was huge for me to fly that far.
What
has Body Back done for you? Gosh, where to begin!
Body Back has changed my life, I couldn't imagine my weeks without
seeing these ladies and the awesome workouts. It has provided me with
not only the physical exercise program to reach my goals but also the
support of other moms that are trying to reach the same goals as me. I
have not only lost 20lbs since I started but I have muscle and am in
better shape than I was before I had kids. I am not a gym person and
get bored with the same workout day in and out and with the body back
program, I look forward to class each week and it's exciting to do
workouts that I never though I would do...and accomplish goals (like my
20 min plank) that i never though I could do. I am a stronger mom,
healthier mom and most important a better mom!
