Miami Women-Only Fitness Bootcamp

This month’s honor of STUDENT OF THE MONTH goes to…

FLORENCE MANGUAL

1.  Age: 43
2. Occupation: First grade teacher
3. When did you first start training at WOFB and how did you hear about us?
   I started training in October of 2005 after my husband told me that Marcos Avellan was going to start o WOFB at his gym.
4. Tell us about your sports & fitness background: When I did my fitness evaluation with Rima, I was currently training for the Miami Half Marathon 2006. Other than running, I had never really trained with weights before. I always danced though, and did African Caribbean, Salsa, and Hip Hop at local studios as well as Miami Dade College.
5. Favorite workout: My favorite workout is running of course, but second to that is any upper body workout that includes pull-ups, renegrade rows, etc.
6. Least favorite workout: My least favorite workout is squats, but I’m working to improve them.
7. What sort of changes have you seen in your body, health and overall fitness since starting WOFB?  WOFB helped me bounce back from two back to back pregnancies, the first being twins. I feel confident and happy with my body even when the holidays roll around and I’m not my fittest. I know that I am hard on myself, but in the overall scheme of things I feel strong and have the stamina to keep up with my three little boys, and that is what matters most!

BIG CONGRATS to you Miss Flo!  We are proud to know you and honored that you’ve been part of the WOFB family for over 10 years. ….and still kicking’ a$$!  Keep it up!  You are a great role model to your sons!
