The Shark Bite Show Episode 12: Marina on being a new mom and the Diapers and Dumbbells Program

Nick
Welcome to the Shark Bite show. We dive into the stories of our members, coaches, friends, and family. Shark Bite fitness and nutrition. All right, let’s go. Hey guys, today I’m here with Marina Lopez. She’s a member here at Shark Bite Cape Coral. Previously a member at Shark Bite for Myers. She’s one of the newest people at our gym and the latest member to do the podcast. So I’m excited to have you here. Marina. Thank you for joining me.

Marina
Yeah. Thanks for having me. I’m excited to be here.,

Nick
Yeah. Me too. So let’s dive into your background. First off, who are you? Like? What’s your history? Where are you from? What kind of fitness background do you have?

Marina
Yeah, so my name is Marina. I am originally from Brazil. But I grew up in South Florida. You know, I’m probably the least athletic person with my fitness background. I don’t have like a background in any kind of organized sport. I was a really like barefoot kid. I grew up on a ranch. So climbing trees, I was under. Yeah, I like riding horses but never really got into any organized sport or anything like that. And then I got into running in college. It was kind of a way to try to, you know, outwork all the alcohol in Del Taco. Yeah, exactly. So yeah, I got really into running later in life. I started running like marathons and kind of longer races. And here.

Nick
That’s insane. I do my best never to run, if at all. I think it’s fascinating. Many people believe that if you’re one of these gems, you’re a former athlete, but I wasn’t like I didn’t get into any of that stuff so much later in life. Yeah, I think most of the people we’ve done podcasts with have said that. There’s not a whole lot of like former D one football players.

Marina
That’s the impression I had before that I was like, Oh my God, all these people are lifting like a crazy heavyweight, and they’re going like 100 miles an hour. They must all have some kind of like Done day-like experience, and yeah, they don’t.

Nick
It’s cool to find out. That’s not true, right? Yeah. I like being around other people like me who aren’t super athletic. We’re doing a super cool thing. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so you’re new to the area, right? You’re new to Cape Coral; where do you come from?

Marina
So I grew up in South Florida. In like Fort Lauderdale, Davie Weston area, kind of popped around a little bit, but what

Nick
uh, what brought you here? 

Marina
COVID. When the pandemic hit, we were like, for lardo got pretty locked down. And we were in, like, an 800-square-foot box with a newborn. And it was like; We need to get away. We need a little bit more space. And yeah, we started looking for houses, and the housing market exploded. It got crazy. And we started exploring other areas. And we found Cape Coral and loved being on the water and just kind of the quieter lifestyle not having, you know, Miami and Fort Lauderdale right there and all the sort of craziness that comes with those big cities.

Nick
Yeah, I went to high school in Miami. I know exactly what you mean. I don’t want to live in that environment again. Yeah. I don’t miss 95 traffic. No, not at all people complain about like 75 or 41 on the East Coast. Much rather deal with that. Yeah.

Marina
I’m planning del Prado traffic, and I’m like, what traffic?

Nick
Yeah, that’s just like, a normal two-lane road in Miami. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so you also recently had a child, right. Yeah. A son. I do. What’s your name?

Marina
His name’s Jamison.

Nick
Jamison. How old is he now?

Marina
He’s going to be one next month.

Nick
That is wild. It’s crazy. Especially when you think about what a year ago today was? Yeah.

Marina
It flew by when they said the days were long, but the years were short. It’s like you don’t believe it until you’re living it. It’s like Blink, and you miss it. There’s he’s like walking and babbling.

Nick
Well, so we’re recording this on April 21. Right. And a year ago, the world was locked down. We were locked down. Yeah. What a time to have a kid. Yeah. Holy crap. So what was that? Like?

Marina
It was crazy. You know, people will talk about like, it takes a village and like during COVID Like there was no village. Um, so yeah, it was stressful. It was a joke, and I say that every birth plan now should include some kind of pandemic clause because it was crazy. Most of my pregnancy wasn’t through quote COVID. So when things were starting to get locked down, it was really scary not to know like, what does that mean for me? What does that mean for my baby? Like we didn’t realize at that time how anyone was going to react to this mysterious disease. And then just not having kind of being robbed of like those final like moments of being pregnant. You know, I didn’t have a baby shower. And my family wasn’t able to come and help out when my son was a newborn. So it’s kind of just like him and me, but it was also really special to get like that quiet time with him. And have the distractions kind of going for a little bit.

Nick
I mean, you had a unique experience, right? Yeah. I guess we’ll never really know if it was better or worse but different.

Marina
I have nothing to compare it to. Yeah, right. I’m, I’m happy with the way things worked out.

Nick
That’s a positive way to look at it. I tried too well, so that was what you said last September. He moved over here, right. Yeah. Okay. So when did you and I talk on the phone first? October, October, okay. So, Sabrina was one of our first-ever graduates of diapers and dumbbells. For anyone does know what I’m talking about, we run a program to help women and postpartum get back into like a fitness lifestyle. Because of some community and camaraderie, what was that like for you?

Marina
It was great. Shout out to coach sue over and shout out. It was awesome. Honestly, I am. So like I mentioned before, I was huge into running; I found out I was pregnant when I was training for a marathon. And I went from running 1012 miles a day to just being the most inactive person ever for five months because I was sick. And so after I gave birth, it was kind of like, Alright, I’m going to jump right back into it. And I quickly realized, like, this is not the same body. I’m not the same person; I need to, like, kind of scale it back a little bit. And I love the dumbbells and diapers program because it was so holistic, like when I talked to you on the phone, there wasn’t this, like, you’re going to lose all this way. And you’re going to get your pre-baby body back like there was none of that. It was like, Okay, well, what are your goals? And this is what we do, you know, does that kind of mesh with you?
I think a lot of times when we’re talking about postpartum fitness, there’s like just this intense focus on, like, weight loss. And it’s kind of jarring, right? Because like, throughout your entire pregnancy, you’re congratulated for growing, and people are so excited, oh, my god, your baby bump and like can touch your belly. And then you give birth, and it’s like, okay, like, you know, let’s get that pre-baby body back, you got to snap back, and you like, can look up exercises on YouTube. And it’s all like how to lose 30 pounds in a month. And it’s like, okay, but like what about the other aspects of like health and fitness when you’re a new mom, I mean, there’s a lot that goes into it, you know, your, core strength, you’re like pelvic floors, as this dirty little word. Still, it’s like all these things are a part of the bigger picture of like, postpartum health and you can lose all that pregnancy weight and still have a lot of pain and have pelvic floor dysfunction and, you know, struggle with other aspects of your health.

Nick
Yeah, it’s that’s like a problem in the entire, like, fitness and health industry, right is like, there’s not a lot of plans and programs and honestly, a lot of gyms who are focused on making your own life better. They’re just focused on making you lose weight. Yeah, you know, and what you’re hitting on is exactly the truth. And that that’s not the best way to feel better. Do you know? Yeah, if that’s part of what you want to do, then cool. A gym or a fitness plan should help you do that. But I know that when Sue and I sat down and talked about it then previously, Coach Christie here at Cape and we talked about it, we’re very specific about that. It’s like; we’re not going just to try to get a bunch of new moms in here and try to get him to shred the fat, you know, like if they do that, great. But it’s, how can we get them back to feeling a little bit like everyday life again?

Marina
Yeah. And it’s, it’s almost like shame-based when you’re just talking about like, your physical body and like this focus on like, your pre-baby body back, it’s like, that doesn’t exist, like, I’m not going ever to have a pre-baby body. Again, I have a baby now. Like, it’s just not the same. And I would instead encourage people to appreciate that, you know, your body goes through these like crazy transformations for nine months, and you shouldn’t be expected to feel like the only acceptable body that you can exist in is the one that was pre-transformation that just doesn’t make sense,

Nick
because that’s a really good point, right? You’re never going to have a pre-baby body again, that thing that exists. Exactly. That’s pre-tattoos. It’s not going to go back.

Marina
Yeah, there’s no way to erase that experience now. And yeah, I had a lot of pain after my son. And I didn’t realize that a lot of that was because my core strength was just like a shot your, you know, I went into my six-week checkup with my doctor, and I asked her like, you know, my Am I clear to go back to work now and she, you know, I told her I’d run a lot, you know, is that going to be okay? And she was like, Yeah, don’t worry about it. No one explained that your muscles separated when your belly grew a lot. And if you don’t work to tighten that core again, you could have really serious problems with, like, Oregon’s prolapsing. You know, you can have a lot of pain as I had. So I was thankful for dumbbells and diapers for not just focusing on losing weight, but focusing on like, alright, let’s look at all the aspects that make up your health and well-being. And let’s focus on those things.

Nick
Yeah, and I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault, necessarily, but many people have never been taught that. So there are problems that would happen three 510 years after someone whose birth could have been fixed in three weeks if it had happened earlier. Yeah. Like you said, just strengthening your core, strengthening your pelvic floor a little bit. Following an intelligent graduate plan earlier will lead to a much happier downstream. Yeah. So common situation that new moms will deal with is postpartum depression, stress, or anxiety. Is that something you struggled with at all?

Marina
Yeah, it was, with COVID, especially postpartum anxiety play like a giant, all-consuming part of my life, yes, first, like, three, four months. And that was something that dumbbells and diapers, like introducing community back into my life, were important in helping me. I touched a little bit on how we just didn’t know how COVID would affect moms, babies, etc. So there was a lot of fear there. And there wasn’t a lot of help. In the beginning, for me, our original plan was for my family would come down and help out a little bit. And then my in-laws were going to come down, and it was like, we’re all going to take turns helping me out. And with COVID, like, that just wasn’t a possibility anymore. So yeah, I struggled a little bit with postpartum anxiety. And I think the conversation around postpartum depression has gotten a lot better in recent years; it’s a little more out in the open. But it’s still not where it needs to be. When I went into my like, checkup at the doctor, there was a screening; there was a little questionnaire for postpartum depression. And it was, you know, you just check off some boxes, and none of those boxes applied to me. But that doesn’t mean that I wasn’t struggling, right. And, you know, the questions were like, do you feel supported? It’s like, yeah, I feel supported as much as I can. Not as much as I would like. Do you think that you’re going to hurt your baby? It’s like, no, I would never harm my baby. But I feel like my baby will get hurt in other ways. And I worry about that a lot. So with dumbbells and diapers, and just being around other moms, and all of our babies were around the same age, and getting to, you know, just be like, have someone that has that shared experience of becoming a new mom during unprecedented times, you know, and, yeah, it was excellent too, to get to have that experience in that community helped kind of settle some of those anxieties. And it was also really cool to see our babies interacting with other babies because they had never done that before.

Nick
Right. Yeah. At what point had they gotten to meet any of the worlds was at that point?

Marina
Yeah. I wonder if he was like, Oh, my God, there are other ones. Yeah.

Nick
I never thought about that. So right now, that’s probably the first other babies. 

Marina
I remember he crawled over to one of the other babies. And he started touching his hair. And I was just like, Oh, my God, other than the cat and us. I wonder if he thought that he was, you know, not like, anything. There wasn’t any other like him in the world.

Nick
That’s such a wild idea to me. I’ve never thought about that till right now. 

Marina
Yeah. The cool thing about becoming a parent is that you start to see the world through their eyes. And they’re experiencing everything for the first time. So it’s cool to see how they are like, like interacting with the world around them and how they’re like learning on the fly like that.

Nick
So like, I think that that camaraderie and community thing you were talking about, like, I think that’s probably the best thing that fitness does for you, right? Personally, everyone is welcome to have whatever their beliefs are on that. But I know, like coming from my military background and speaking to many people in different experiences now through this podcast and the nose when interest we do and then just the years of being in the gym. They were communal creatures, you know, even if you feel like you’re an introvert or don’t like talking to people, just like knowing you have others who care about you. I feel like that’s probably the most important thing that we can be getting out of this. And I think this last year showed what happens when you’re not getting that, yeah, you know,

Marina
Oh, yeah. And when you’re only getting a virtually two, it’s different. We’ve all done On our best with like zoom birthday parties and stuff, but there’s nothing like being face to face with people and having a conversation and being like, how are you doing? Do you know? For me, the community aspect of it is enormous because even still, I wouldn’t classify myself as someone who still struggles with postpartum anxiety, thankfully, but mom guilt is such a real thing. And so for me, it’s like, I try to make time for myself. And I sometimes feel guilty about that, because I’m like, Oh, my God, I could be spending this time like, with my son, he’s so little, it’s like, we could be making these memories together. And then I have to kind of check myself and be like, but I’m a better person when I can grab an hour to like, decompress, and like be myself, and to just kind of focus on myself and to have some community and just to get to talk to people. And not only am I a better person, but I’m a better mom; I’m more patient and more understanding. All of that you wouldn’t have if you’re just, you know, working out in your garage, like by yourself as much as you have when you’re around people, and they’re supporting you and encouraging you.

Nick
Yeah, I mean, I don’t have any kids. But I have lots of friends over the years, especially in the gym without kids, and I always kind of watch that happen. I never know if it’s necessarily self-inflicted or a pressure thing that they don’t realize is happening with that, almost like segregation. And it’s always great to see him kind of come back. Because I feel like I get to see my friends open up again. You know, I think you kind of just explained what that thing I’ve seen repeatedly was right there.

Marina
Yeah. Yeah, becoming a parent is kind of wild because it’s like, your world gets so big, all of a sudden, right? Because you have this tiny little thing that’s wholly helpless and depends on you. 100%. But it also shrinks so much. Because many people who knew you before you had kids can’t relate to you in the same way, but all of a sudden, all these people you don’t know who have had kids can excitingly relate to you. So your life shifts very, very quickly.

Nick
I and I think that that feeling you’re talking about was doing this for an hour makes you a better mom, right? I think that’s true of all of us. Like I know that I’m a whole lot nicer person to everybody around me if I get my workout in, you know, if I get to come in and be communal with people and laugh and sweat and get my ass kicked.

Marina
Yeah, my boyfriend and I get along better if we both can just go away for a second, get a workout in, and come back. It’s like, we’re more patient with each other. We’re more like; we’re happier. And I was like that Legally Blonde thing. It’s like exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you satisfied; happy people just don’t kill people.

Nick
It’s true, right? Like, you know, my girlfriend said, If I were a whole lot nicer to each other, we would work out. That’s 100% True.

Marina
Yeah, it just has that time to like decompress and just focus on yourself as especially if you’re me, it doesn’t matter if you’re a working parent, if you’re a stay at home, mom, you know, everybody needs that chance, just like focus on themselves for a little bit and just do something that makes you feel proud and accomplished. And you can kind of face the world a little bit happier after that.

Nick
You talked to me before the podcast a little bit about the idea of like your son growing up in a lifestyle where he sees you do these kinds of things, right? What did you mean by that?

Marina
I mean, it’s so important. It’s so cool that Josh and I talked about this past weekend because I brought my son to watch masters of fitness. And there was this; I think it was in the second exercise. And there was this competitor, and I didn’t know her. She was from a different gym. And she was trying her hardest. And she was struggling to like the power clean the weight. And she maybe gave me like two or three tries, and the entire gym was just like waiting, you know, and just watching and cheering her on. And she finally got it, and the whole gym just like exploded. And nobody, I mean, it was a bunch of different gyms. So like nobody, not everyone knew her. But everyone was so excited for her. And I was holding my son, and as soon as everyone started cheering, he threw his little arm up and started waving. And to me, it was like that is all that I could want for my kid is to be around people who are working to better themselves and around people who are just unconditionally supporting others in their quest to better themselves. That’s the best environment that I could imagine. My kids growing up in it’s it’s so important and he, I mean bringing him to dump demos and diapers. He was around other babies, but he was also seeing mom working out, and I would hope that you know he was a little like potatoes at that point; you probably didn’t, you know, register. But I hope that throughout his life, he can see the example that mom and dad prioritize feeling good about themselves and bettering themselves not just for their physical appearance but just for their overall well-being.

Nick
That’s awesome. That’s a great mentality to have, especially starting so young. You have for him to grow up his entire life without any fantastic.

Marina
Yeah. They’re little sponges; they pick up things quickly. And in the beginning, you don’t realize that, like, they are soaking everything in. And eventually, they get to a point where they start, you know, putting it back out there. So yeah. I want him to see that, from early on, and hopefully become the person who will see someone and cheer them on even if he doesn’t know No, then.

Nick
That’s cool. I hope so too. That’s awesome. So you, you finish the diapers, no meals program? We’re talking about it being a 12-week program for anyone who has no, right? We did it three times a week. What kind of stuff did you do in that?

Marina
Yeah, you know, I don’t know the entire programming. But for my experience, the beginning was a lot of like core and pelvic floor stuff. So we did a lot of like dead bugs and bird dogs and stuff that is important that I wouldn’t have done. Right, if it wasn’t for that program. I think for myself like I’m the kind of person who, if it doesn’t get my heart rate through the roof, and if I’m not sore the next day or breaking a sweat while I’m doing it, I don’t think of it as like a big workout. And I just don’t want to do it. And a lot of like the fitness stuff that will get you back to a point where you can start working out again when your postpartum is slow controlled movements. And I saw just an immediate improvement from doing that stuff. So I’m really glad that you know Sue told me to do all that stuff. Right over and over again. Yeah, exactly. And then towards the end of the program, it was a little bit more of almost like the intro course, where we’re starting to demo like the lifts and starting with lower weight stuff and seeing, you know, getting us ready to kind of graduate into actual weightlifting and CrossFit type program.

Nick
But the concept you’re talking about is doing things like Lower, lower heart rate movements, or lower strength, as we call that. Mechanics, consistency, intensity, right. So we learn the mechanics, and we can consistently repeat those mechanics correctly. And then, we can add the power. And it’s cool because you’re, you’re almost kind of like a test case. You don’t know this of our kind of introducing a more extended onboarding program. Right? Because you got 12 weeks of beginners instead of two weeks and beginners. And I think I, you probably wouldn’t say it’s; I can say this, you’re improvement has been pretty damn drastic, you know, especially in the last month or two, right? Yeah, I think a lot of that is because you were forced to hit those mechanics a lot, whether you liked it or not. To be able to repeat those mechanics before we introduced intensity consistently. Yeah. So you, you switched from the Fort Myers gym, where we were doing diapers and dumbbells over here, to the Cape Coral gym. I think it was like the next week, right? Yeah, yeah. What was that experience? Like? Because you were in a minimal, controlled environment, right? With average dumbbells? I think it was the spinal view. Glass. 

Marina
Yeah, I think 565 or-

Nick
six, I can’t remember. And then you came over to here. And we had like, 15, I think, your first day, right? So what was that? Like? What was the change in the world for that?

Marina
Yeah, it was interesting. I remember, like the first class, like being on sugar wad and like looking up the workout and being like, Okay, I’m going to Google how to do this and make sure that like, I know, and I was super nervous, like before coming in because I didn’t know anyone. And I didn’t even know the coaches. But yeah, I walked in. Everyone was super lovely and super welcoming. It was a different type of class. But it was, I mean, the basic outline was the same. You know, we did the warmup.
We talked about what we were going to do. Are there any questions? Let’s do some; some run through the workout with some moderate weights to see how we’re doing, and then yeah, get after it. And yeah, it was a pretty smooth transition. Once I got over that fear of like, Oh, my God, I don’t know anyone, and I don’t know what I’m doing. And but, yeah, it’s like you said, it’s crazy how quick the improvements came. And it’s funny that you mentioned that about like, the mechanics and stuff because, in the running, there’s a specific running program where you’re focused on frequency, duration, and then intensity. So it’s kind of similar where you’re focused on, like, just get out and run as often as possible. And then once you got that down. Okay, now try to extend that a little bit more and do it a little longer. And then after you’ve got that down, Okay, now let’s kick up the intensity a little bit.

Nick
Yeah, it makes a lot of sense to me, right? Because if you go out for a five-mile run at a seven-minute mile pace on your first run, it’s not going to benefit you, and don’t burn out. Yeah, right. That’s cool. I didn’t know that. I’m going to look that up. So a couple of months into this version of it. This is your chart by quiet for all the functional fitness classes we do here. How often are you running now?

Marina
It’s not as often as I was running before. Yeah. Yeah, it was surprising because I went from a personal brand and me. I mean, 40 to 50 miles a week to maybe 10. Now, and that’s over three maybe runs a week. So yeah, it’s less, but I think there are seasons in life. And perhaps this is the season in my life where I’m just really enjoying getting stronger. And you see a lot of improvement in CrossFit. Like, quickly. It was wild to me to see, like, in the beginning, I was struggling with one way. And then like three weeks later that wait was like

Nick
It felt comfortable, right? Yeah. How much is your running dropped off?

Marina
Good about a good amount; I wouldn’t say the pace has dropped. But just like frequency, it’s hard to find the time, especially with the little one; it’s always been challenging to find the time running is demanding of your time. If you’re running, you know, six miles one day, you’re looking at being out there for an hour versus CrossFit, where you’re out here for an hour, but you feel like you’re getting like the works. Yeah, as I leave, and you’re like, that was the hardest workout ever, versus running. If you run for an hour, it’s like, okay, well, you know, that was good, but doesn’t leave me on the floor.

Nick
I remember, in the army, I ran a lot, right, especially my first couple years until I found CrossFit. And being part of that was just like everybody had taught me, although my superiors had taught me like, this is how you get fit, you run, you do push-ups, you do sit-ups. You repeat that over and over and over again. You know, you want to get more fit, you run more, yeah, get more fit, you run faster. And that’s it. And I remember that that would take two and a half hours, sometimes, the amount of time they wanted us to run. And then I found CrossFit. And I was like I can be done in 30 minutes, you know, and I can get better and feel stronger and do all these things. Yeah. And I remember I had this really big fear that it sounds crazy for me to say this now because I hate running. But I comparably hated running. I was really scared. I wouldn’t be as fast as I used to be here. I made a run like I used to. And then I had to go to a 5k and one point, and I don’t think I’ve run more than two miles in a year. And I was okay. And I remember thinking like, oh my god, this fitness plan is so much better. Because I am not out there for three hours a day. Yeah. And I was totally fine to rerun this.

Marina
You don’t see improvements and running as fast as you do in CrossFit. And I’ll tell you that much. I was a runner for ten years. And my pace, maybe improved a minute over ten years. Yeah, it’s just really hard. You’re working hard to shave off maybe five seconds off your mile. And for some people, that can be discouraging meant. I mean, running, in general, is a mental game; your mind will give up way before your body does. And I think that’s a skill that I’ve carried over into CrossFit: just being able to push yourself to keep going when everything is telling you no, you should stop. But also knowing what your limit is and not overexerting yourself.

Nick
Oh, Mark, I’m excited for when you’ve been doing this for about a year. Yeah. And you think you’ve hit a limit somewhere, right? And then we just say, Okay, now we’re going to start working on gymnastics a little more. Yeah, now we’re going to be like, Let’s improve that intensity. Let’s try to go faster on burpees or something. Yeah. Because you’ll be like, Okay, I can, I can change course. And I can now spend the next nine months getting better this yeah,

Marina
there’s always something that you can be working towards. I’m excited about the opening next year. Yeah.

Nick
Right. I know what you did this year—and then seeing it next year—yeah, just going.

Marina
into it this year with, like, minimal experience, minimal experience. And you having a year, it’s actually like, try to get some of the movements down and give it my best shot.

Nick
Cool. That’s going to be fun. So that’ll be next March. So you got 11 months to get at it? Yeah. Okay, so you. Have you tried it? You attempted ever to send emails; you tried classes here, right? If you were talking to someone and they were scared to give it a try, what would you tell him?

Marina
You know, it’s like risk versus reward, like what have you got to lose? If the biggest risk for you is that you’re going to embarrass yourself like I’ll be the first to say I’ve embarrassed myself. But that’s okay. Because no one here is going to judge you for that, and what I love about this community is like every single person out there wants to see you do better, not just the coaches; it’s like everyone in the class I’ve had people who are, you know, doing their own thing, maybe it’s an open gym, and they’re like doing a separate workout. Still, they’ll come up to me and be like, Hey, can I give you a little pointer and like, maybe try doing this differently. And there have been so many workouts where, you know, other athletes are like, just cheering you on and just want to see you like, lift that weight. And yeah, get some more weight on there. And it’s an incredibly encouraging community. And that’s the reward. If the biggest risk for you is that you’re scared or that you’re, you know, you don’t see what you’re going to be doing. Like you’ll have time to learn, but the reward is so much more than what you think that you’re signing up for. If you think that you’re just signing up to work out and get fit, you’ll gain a lot more than that. You’re going to gain friends; you’ll achieve community and a sense of accomplishment. All of that is just so much more than what I had bargained for.

Nick
That’s awesome. Suppose you could think of a way of like, how I would love to describe what we do. It’s precisely that, giving you so much more than you bargained for. It’s cool. Yeah. Awesome. Anything else you want to bring up?

Marina
No, I’ve had a great time. Thank you so much.

Thank you for doing that. Seriously. You were so new at the gym that you had the confidence to do this. Yeah. Cool. Awesome. All right. Thanks for hanging out with us today on the Shark Bite show. If you’d like to get a hold of us, you find us on Facebook or Instagram at Shark Bite fitness Nutrition or on our website at SharkBiteFitness.com.
