1. Tell us something about yourself!
My name is Samantha Celaya, I live in Southern California. I am 47 years old and a mother of 5, proud grandmother of a grandson! I have been doing medical billing and collections for 20 years.
2. For how long you’ve been working out and what progress have you made?
I started working out in June 2012 because I really needed to lose weight, thought I would be happy with losing 20 pounds. As I continued to work out and became addicted to it, I have now lost 40 pounds! I started out with Zumba classes then Yoga and Pilates then started a Body Pump class. I loved lifting so I started hitting weights. I was so lost when I first started, I hit everything all in one day! LOL After some help from my #FitFam on Twitter and the internet, I now have this down. I now lift weights daily and I am getting stronger and leaner by the day! I have gained confidence that I never imagined.
3. How did you managed to recover after your 5 pregnancies and get in the amazing shape you are today?
The only way to recover from anything is through complete dedication and discipline to no end. My children support me and my goals and they encourage me to keep going. This new lifestyle does not include a “diet”, the key is to change your eating habits and fuel your body with healthy foods.
4. Which is your actual training routine?
