Growing up a "chubby" kid that was sent to Weight Watchers as a third grader really inspired Jennie to help educate others on how to make fitness fun and a part of ones lifestyle, not just something they "have" to do each day .She understands that not every child likes or excels at team sports ,so exposing them to activities that can be done for a lifetime of wellness is her number one priority as an educator. In a society filled with quick fixes, sedentary lifestyles and as childhood obesity begins to reach astronomical levels, educating children and adults alike on how to incorporate fitness into their lives is a necessity.
