Raise your hand if you feel me, sisters! I’m only 46, but my doctor told me I would go through “THE Change” early and, low and behold, I did. Man oh man, it’s a real thing and I have tried to rebel against it, but dang it if those hormonal changes just get the better of me.

He is more relaxed and less stressed, we have little to no conflicts over chores or homework, and he seems to sleep better and start the next day better. I would never be able to moti… 
I trained with Rebecca in her Reboot classes for 2 years before having to put training on hold for medical reasons. I always thought training was so boring. But not with Rebecca!! She was so creative, both at working the same muscle groups and mixing it up, through varying exercises that I nev… 
I Met Rebecca during a running event and shortly after she worked me up several Strength Straining workouts to help me recover from an Injury. The neat thing was, all of these workouts didn’t have to be done at the gym. I was able to do these anywhere and they worked! She was able to customize the … 
Mrs. Rebecca is the best P.E. teacher ever! We always have fun, learn something new, and exercise HARD!
My name is Misti Edmondson and I am a distance runner. Rebecca designed a cross training program for me to help make me a better runner.
