Life is an adventure...might as well be fit so you can enjoy it! Hi! My name is Kristen Ashbaugh Helmreich and I am a full-time health and fitness coach! Yep!
After several years of battling sports-related injuries and having a baby, I re-started my fitness journey in July of 2015. I've completed 3 rounds of the 21 Day Fix, 3 rounds of 21 Day Fix Extreme, 22 Minute Hard Corps, and T25 Alpha Cardio. I am currently doing Country Heat. I have more energy than I've had in years and as a bonus my pants fit better too! Oh, and did I mention I've lost 30 lbs?
I've always been an active and adventurous person -- I grew up dancing and playing various sports. As I got older I played Ultimate Frisbee, snowboarded, did yoga regularly, ran, and did tons of hiking and backpacking. Around the age of 30 I got married and started designing and writing knitting patterns for a living. Being a knitwear designer, I have to knit. A lot. That means a lot of time spent sitting. That, several injuries, and having a baby 2 years ago led me to the highest weight I've ever been. Not only that but I was sore every single day from not moving my body. Now I am still sore sometimes, but it's because I moved my body, and that is a much better feeling! Being a part of Team Beachbody has changed my life! I have gotten healthier physically of course, but what has been so huge for me was the mental transformation! I have so much more confidence and strength than I've ever had before and I am starting to see insecurities that I've held onto my whole life gradually slip away. I feel freaking incredible! Thank you so, SO much for following this page! You have no idea how much it means to me! I will post my tips, workouts, meals, progress, as well as my adventures in life, mamahood and the outdoors! Feel free to message me or comment on any of my posts. I am happy to give guidance and share my personal experience. Reach out! I love to chat. Also, if you want to check out my knitting designs, I am "Marinade" on Ravelry, @marinadedesigns on Facebook, and my designs can be found here: http://www.ravelry.com/designers/kristen-ashbaugh-helmreich
