Qualifications: NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Pilates Certified.
Personal History: An advocate of positive body image, Patrea got the idea for the innovative Recharge It DVD using real moms of all shapes and sizes while reading some interesting research on exercise and women. The research stated that when women exercised to DVDs featuring extremely fit women they actually had a decrease in body confidence.
Patrea states, “I wanted to create a DVD that featured attainable levels of fitness for all women and especially moms. Moms need reasonable levels of fitness that can be achieved by exercising 30 to 60 minutes per day, 3 to 5 times per week.
All of the women included in this DVD fit that description and the majority of women can achieve those levels of fitness and be inspired by them. Most importantly, they have IMPROVED body confidence after completing this workout!”
