This spotlight should encourage you for no other reason than ACCOUNTABILITY!  I honestly can’t remember a workout that she didn’t attend and I didn’t know beforehand why she wasn’t there! Even if she is out in the streets running errands and thinks she going to be late logging on, I get a text with the update.  She is a jewel in #OneCommunity and truly deserving of this highlight.  Belinda has made great progress while working out #InThePaint.  Her consistency has rewarded her with muscle definition, weight loss and as you will see from her interview coordination.  She is also a great friend of mine that we have been connected through our sorority and our beloved book club.  She holds a special responsibilty #InThePaint of reminding me to record our workouts and she is diligent in those reminders.  For all of these reasons, we appreciate her and celebrate her as this September’s Student Spotlight!

 

Belinda Chaney has been a member of #InThePaint since its inception! 

 

What is your favorite thing about working out #InThePaint? Has it been different from other workout experiences you may have encountered previously?

I like the convenience of working out in my own space and the variety of class options. It has been different from other experiences because of the accountability component. Although the workouts are virtual, there is still a sense of community.

What was the experience or motivating factor that inspired you to join #InThePaint? Was there someone who influenced you to join?

I honestly joined to support Joi in her endeavor, but I continued because it was very effective in relieving stress during the uncertainty of a pandemic.
