You know those moments when you meet someone and think, "Wow, where does she get the energy and how do I get some of it? Well, that's exactly how we felt after sitting down with fitness powerhouse Mindy Lawhorn.
Bubbly, energetic, radiant - Mindy walked into the studio the picture of confidence, beauty and health. And when we say she’s been in the fitness business all her life, it truly is all her life. At 16, Mindy started working out - feeling like a self-described ‘chubby teenager,’ she started exercising and making better choices to feel better. At 18, she got her first training license and by 19 she was teaching classes.
That kicked off a lifetime career in fitness that has included some of the most popular videos on the market.
You may think Mindy’s story seems unrelatable - here’s another lady in shape with great arms and shoulders and a flat tummy who’s spent all her life this way. But you’d be wrong.
Mindy has had her share of struggles and setbacks, but her mindset keeps her on top of her game. And we want to share that story as inspiration for all the midlife mama’s out there going through the hard stuff, wondering if there is any way it all gets better.
From Insecure Teen to Fitness Queen
At the end of the day, we’re all a product of our choices. Even Mindy still dreams of cheese and enjoys a treat from time to time. But, she makes the choice 80% of the time to stay on track. It all started when she was 16 and wanted to be a cheerleader but was the self-described ‘chubby teen.’ She needed to learn something basic to the sport - jumping off the ground. She was tired of feeling like the odd one out, so she started making choices to change that.
Mindy started with simple walks, because, quite frankly, running hurt. The walking alone helped her feel better not only physically but also mentally. It started to develop something that has stayed with her all these years. It was about that time it dawned on her everyone is going to need fitness.
Even more importantly, her journey wasn’t just about fat loss, it was about finding herself. Fitness isn’t just about the number on the scale – it's about becoming the best version of yourself, inside and out.
It’s also a lesson in something you hear a lot from FASTer Way, which is that you have to start somewhere.
Life Happens, But We Keep Moving
Those early teenage lessons have rung true for Mindy and carried her through the ups and downs of life - enough to keep her going even in the darkest times.
Mindy has been a single mom - (she has 2 kiddos) - and then married the man of her dreams. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago and Mindy pulled herself up out of grief using her workouts as therapy. "It was where I could pour out my grief and find my strength again," she says.
Sometimes it's on our toughest days that we need our workouts the most.
You've Got This
The number one message we share at FASTer Way - and that resonated in our conversation with Mindy - is that you shouldn’t count yourself out, ever. It doesn’t matter how old you are. It doesn’t matter how much weight you want to lose. It doesn’t matter where you live. It just doesn’t matter. Bet on you every single time.
Mindy, and many of our FASTer Way trainers, are living their best life in their late 40s and 50s. Pro trainer Le Bergin likes to call it Mid-Century, not mid life 🙂
So, you’re asking yourself, how can I be like her? How can I be like them? It’s not just social media that makes us compare ourselves to others. It’s any time you may connect with, talk to,or breeze by someone who has the smile and joy you seek, the arms and shoulders you wish were yours, the stamina and energy that is enviable. Mindy would be the first to tell you,"I wouldn't be where I am without the people who believed in me.”
From her teachers, to her mentors, to the people in her classes, Mindy was surrounded by community. It’s why we talk about our FASTer Way commUNITY so much!
