M EM PH IS FITTEST
CASEY TRENT, 31 Favorite workout move: Glute exercises. Doing a bridge with a ball for added inner thigh work. It is some juicy business! Quote that inspires me: Change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change.” - Wayne Dyer
ABOUT ME: I am the Group Fitness Department Head, Group Fitness Instructor, Yoga Instructor and Personal Trainer at Lifetime Fitness. I’m married and have a furbaby, Apostle, and he even has muscles! I stay fit with continuous training of weights three times a week and yoga two times a week. I try and carry a protein shake with me at all times for post workouts, snacks, and to curb any sweet cravings. Follow me on Facebook @ Casey Trent Fitness

Tips for busy women? Don’t fit your workout into your schedule; fit your schedule around your workout. It is important to make an appointment with yourself. A workout session can be done anywhere for any amount of time and still be productive!
3
What is the most underrated exercise move? Hands down, the pushup. A total body exercise that you can do multiple ways, and no equipment is necessary.

Advice to newbies? Start somewhere, anywhere. Find an activity that is fun for you. If it’s not fun, you won’t stay with it. That’s why I love teaching group fitness. I get to “play” with great friends to the hottest music, and a healthy body is just icing on the cake.
5
Body part that gets neglected? I always neglected my back until recently. Now I look forward to those exercises and their results, and my core is stronger because of it!

Biggest fitness lesson? You can have results or excuses, but not both. Training the mind is equally as important as training the body.
