High Five For Lisa

Lisa at 10am

In the three-plus months Lisa has been coming to Morning Bootcamp, she has distinguished herself by being both a tremendously hard worker and an encouraging teammate. Her 10am colleagues have most likely gotten at least one high five or cheer from her per circuit, and that willingness to rally for others clearly pays itself back, because her own athletic performance has skyrocketed. Now she’s been making regular appearances at the Core classes, and it shows, because her push ups are stellar and she’s utterly remade her squats. Now she’s turned her attention to pull ups, and we feel confident she’ll have them soon. Be sure to give her a high five back and tell her what a great job she’s doing.

    I heart Lisa and hope someday she’ll pick me as her partner.

    Lisa is great! She always offers me a high five and encouraging words…and as you said, she’s a total star! What a great addition to the mix.

    Do we looooooove Lisa or what? I do! She’s like a little ball of energy speeding past you with a hand out looking for that high five all through class. If you’re lucky enough to partner with her, she will push herself while pushing you. I can hear her now… “come on Kate you can do it”. She brings such positive energy to class and always has a smile on her face. Lisa is an awesome IC ROCK STAR!

    Lisa gives the best high fives! She is so positive and encouraging of others… I would be afraid to be her partner though because she works dang hard. Keep up the great work Lisa!

    I love seeing turbo Lisa come alive at the IC. But besides being a tough, hard-working, motivating gal at the IC – she is an amazing Mom, a dedicated volunteer at school and the kindest and most supportive friend. I am so glad just to know her and that she joined us all at the IC.

    Have you noticed how ripped Lisa’s arms are these days? Gorgeous!

    Lisa is great. I got to partner with her when she first started. She tried to tell me that she was not in great shape. Liar! You are awesome! It is so hard to keep up with you. Plus, so is so sweet. You will be feeling tired, it’s the last set of the circuit and you want to quit and then you hear from way across the room Lisa yelling “you can do it!”

    Lisa rocks!! She’s super energetic, enthusiastic and soooo positive!! I love hearing her voice, loud and clear, cheering the rest of her classmates on. Not only that its a privilege to train her; she’ll do anything I throw at her and do it with great form and integrity and she’s so humble about her abilities…all the more that we love you Lisa!

    Lisa kicks a**. She has beautiful push-ups (all from her feet) and she will have her pull-up any day now. I love watching her practice after class. I am so glad Lisa is bringing her hard core determination and amazing attitude to core classes too.

    Hey, there’s Lisa! I just plucked her to be my partner yesterday… and quickly learned what a badass she is! She totally schooled me. She kept track of both of our reps (my head was spinning too much to count) and cheered like a true coach/partner. I felt unworthy of her grace…

    Shari, If you want her, you just gotta grab her like I did!

    O.k., Lisa, when I get back from the desert, you’re mine.

  13. Loredie says:

    I love getting high fives from Lisa. I love her energy and smile. Right after she finishes her personal training, she attends the group work out. I want to be like you some day Lisa. Oh and yes, your arms are looking great!

    Lisa is one of the hardest working IC-ettes I know! She even stays after for “extra credit” … more core work, more push-ups, etc. Last week she even did another round of plank with her hands on the kettlebell just because she wanted to push herself. She attacks her workouts and really helps encourage us, too. Great job, Lisa!

    Lisa is an amazing IC-ette! I frequently see her staying after class for “extra credit” … more ab work, more push-ups … last week she even did another round of plank with her hands on the kettle bell because she was ready for more of a challenge. She attacks her workout with amazing strength and energy, and supports her fellow bootcampers, too. Great job, Lisa!

    Sorry for the multiple posts … my three-year old likes to press all of the keys on the keyboard so I didn’t know if it had posted or not. But Lisa deserves twice the kudos anyway!

    Well said. We all love Lisa. What’s not to love?

  18. Renee says:

    an utterly fantastic woman. so glad you’re here!

  19. lanling says:

    Ditto what everyone else said. Lisa puts a lot of energy into both her own performance and keeping up everyone else’s spirits. Don’t know how she does it…I can barely grunt my way through the workouts, nevertheless have energy for smiles to everyone else! Go Lisa!

    Lisa’s stellar attitude and super high effort level are always inspiring to me. Awesome stuff!
