ATHLETE FEATURE!! -Jessica Arevalo
Now that I'm settling into this blog thing, I have decided to do an occasional feature of an inspirational fitness figure.
While I thought I knew who my first pick would've been, that quickly changed. I surfed the internet for some information on an unrelated subject and found Jessica Arevalo, a Shredz athlete and owner of Walk in My Fashion. There were many factors that made me pick her for my first feature EVER.
She is HAWT (Check her out on Instagram)
Seriously...I think that kind of speaks for itself...moving on
She ISN'T perfect
Like anybody else, she isn't a perfect person and she most definitely didn't have a perfect life. Scrolling through her instagram I found a transformation picture that really pulled me in
"Coming from a home that was broken and having experienced every abuse you can think of, (physical, mental, verbal and sexual), I resorted to drinking starting at age 12. I am not talking about 1 drink, I am talking about to the point of blacking out with the intention of numbing pain that I didn’t understand."
For this reason alone, I wanted to spotlight, not just her, but the fact that these people who we look up to AREN'T PERFECT and she will be the first to tell you so.
Her transformation
Her personal transformation isn't like a lot of peoples. Jessica went from unhealthy "fit" to super healthy fit. But most importantly, she went from cutting her wrists, smoking, binge drinking, etc. to looking at herself and being proud of all she's accomplished, and she deserves to.
Her Accomplishments
As mentioned earlier, Jessica is a Shredz athlete and owner of her own fashion boutique both of which she has been successful in. Aside from those, she does coaching to help you reach your own personal goals, contact Jessica at Coaching@JessicaFit.com for more information regarding coaching and the multi-tasking goddess Vlogs Youtubejessica.com!
Check in periodically to check out the features and let me know who you'd like to see next!
XOXO,
