Victoria
Paton found her fitness success after leaving her job and starting her own
business. She explains, "When I left my job I made a commitment to myself
to not sit behind a desk all day. I wanted to take better care of my
health." Now she works her own schedule as a senior
community counselor
for Au Pair in America.
Victoria
found out that Potomac Community Center had 9:00 am aerobics classes which fit
her schedule perfectly. She would drop her kids off at school and then get in
an hour or more of work sitting in her car in the parking lot as she waited for
her class to star.
"Now I
am “in a meeting” three days a week from 9:00 to 10:00 am for my aerobics class.
I built it into my schedule and block off that time for fitness." she
says.
Victoria takes
5 to 8 fitness classes per week. She has lost over 20 lbs and dropped two
clothing sizes. She credits three things for keeping her going, "One,
Jackie Sorensen Aerobic Dancing is a well-tested brand and in one hour you work
every muscle. Two, the classes are affordable through Montgomery County. And
three, it's a nice community of people who take the class. We look after each
other."
Plus, she
explains, "where else can a single mom with two jobs shut down her brain
and dance for an hour?!?!"
