In this installment of "Who Inspires You," I introduce the most accessorized fitness instructor I've ever had the pleasure of exercising with- Jodie Strausbaugh! She not only teaches a whole slew of group fitness classes, but also runs her own successful Silpada jewelry business. Hence why she always looks so uber-cool pumping iron in her bangles, rings and other sparkly gems.
I met Jodie several years ago, when I started taking her step classes. She also teaches yoga and the really-popular Zumba dance classes. Last year I was in town when she taught Zumba and she invited me to give it a try. LOVED IT!!! Jodie is a fabulous instructor - she calls her moves in advance, so following her is a breeze. And she has a great nature - encouraging, supportive, motivational, and so likable. I can't imagine anyone not loving Jodie and her classes.
And for what must be now over 6 years (if my math is correct) Jodie has been growing her Silpada business. I remember when she first started the business. She was a natural sales person. And today, Jodie has a large team of women working under her, who help her meet challenging sales goals (that earn her big rewards, like trips).
In addition to all of her working, she makes time for fun with her hubby and grandkids. She finds a way to do it all - she's another one of the Super Women I know! Her lifelong commitment to exercise has always inspired me, and continues to. You're awesome Jodie!!
Photo caption: I asked Jodie for permission to use one of her Facebook photos. I couldn't find any of her alone (not surprising considering Jodie is such a people person). So, here's one of her and a gal she befriended during a vacation. I like it because she looks great! Thanks Jodie!
