2011 Fitness Challenge: Meet Clarisa

This week we announced that we'd be hosting a fitness challenge with three avid BGR! followers. Our fitness challenge was inspired by these three women who shared their fitness trials and tribulations with us. They each have different lifestyles, challenges and goals, but they all realize the importance of getting healthy and fit and have committed to 2011 being the year to do just that. During the next 12 weeks, we will share their story and their journey with you as we help guide them to a healthier lifestyle. This week we will introduce each of the ladies. We hope that their stories and journey provide you with inspiration and tips to help you get fit. Name: Clarisa Height: 5'3 Occupation: Human Resource Manager What inspired you to take the Black Girls RUN! fitness challenge?

I would like to live a healthier lifestyle. What are three specific goals you hope to achieve? 1.) Run 4- 5k races 2.) Lose 75 pounds What do you think will be your biggest challenge? I live a really hectic lifestyle. I am always on the move always traveling. This impacts my diet negatively. What is your exercise of choice? I really enjoy doing a lot of different exercises. I have to change it up so I don't get bored. Dance classes are my favorite.
