Lady Lifter Spotlight: "J Flo"! - Wine to Weightlifting

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Happy Friday! How nice is it for the work week to start on a Thursday and on and Friday? I think this should be a new thing.

You know what I missed most during my little blogging hiatus? You guys! I love reading the lady lifting spotlights that I receive and hope that you do, too, and they are now back (be sure to contact me if you are interested in being in the spotlight next)! This week’s spotlight is on Jennifer, aka “J Flo” (and I’m not biased just because she’s a fellow Jen..). Through weightlifting and clean eating, she has transformed inside and out into a happier and healthier version of herself!

My family

How did you get started in weight lifting? How long have you been lifting?

My boyfriend is a personal trainer and started an internship at a strength and conditioning gym. (Working out is what got us together) and when he mentioned how much lifting was better than running, I decided to give it a try and it has been a love/hate relationship (with lifting lol) since then! (1 year of lifting).

Favorite workout or lift?

Clean and Twerk! jk! Clean and Jerk. 🙂

Meet

Current lifting-related goal:

I want my total to be 100 kg. Ideally 40kg snatch, 60 kg clean and jerk but whatever combination gets me to 100kg satisfies me.

Piece of advice for new lifters or those reluctant to try:

Don’t be embarrassed. Everyone feels as awkward as you when they begin to lift! Practice makes perfect so keep at it. Also..CHALK UP! 🙂 And the best gym in Napa = CTS Gym
