Three years ago, at age 48 and 40 lbs heavier than she used to be, Cheryl made a decision to get in the best shape of her life. Temporarily sidelined by a back injury last year, she is still 15 lbs short of her goal but is determined. Cheryl enjoys teaching others how to be healthy and fit and is in training to become a certified fitness trainer. She is an independent Beachbody coach and publishes a blog about fitness. One of her favorite pastimes besides reading, writing, and web promotion of her website is hiking in the mountains with her husband of 27 years. Cheryl can be reached at cheryl@fitnesswithcheryl.com.
