Donna Vains: December 2022 - Member of the Month

Congratulations Donna Vains on being our December Member of the Month.


Donna has been training with us for over 6 months now and has now increased to 3 Group Sessions per week after starting back with just 1 session. Donna has picked up Boxing in the last month or two which has helped her increase her strength and overall fitness out of sight. She also does her two Body Blitz Sessions to improve her health and allows her to get more out of every day.


A massive well done to you Donna on all your consistency and hard work during your time with Key to Life. 


Over to Donna for her advice on Training, Motivation & Lifestyle.....


What is your favourite Key to Life Training session and why?

 

Bootcamp is my favourite, I enjoy the variety and the different exercises at each session.

 

If you use any Key To Life recipes, what is your favourite?

 

My favourite recipe is Hummus. I make this recipe up at the start of each week

and take a small container to work each day with carrot sticks, that is my morning

tea.


What is your biggest motivation?


To stay fit and healthy as I get older and not succumb to diabetes which runs in the

family. I also love the wellbeing feeling both physically and mentally you get from

exercising, my motto is age is just a number.

 

What is your biggest accomplishment you have achieved during your time with us at Key to Life?


 My biggest accomplishment since joining KTL has been losing 7kgs and healthy sugar

levels.

 

What advice would you give somebody just starting at Key to Life?

 

Stick with it, do not compare yourself to others, you will feel tired when you first

start but remind yourself why you started and want you want to achieve. Don't be

afraid to go outside your comfort zone when you feel you can, that is when results

happen.
