Hi Queens!
First QDQ challenge done and dusted and what a 12 weeks it's been.
I'd been following Meave on insta for a little while, drawn in initially by the brutally honest review of the Dyson Air wrap for Beauty bullshit and have been an avid follower since.
I'd been getting back into my fitness more and more as Ireland stayed in what felt like a never ending lockdown and, after trying a few of the insta live workouts, decided to sign up to the summer challenge.
Well girls, let me tell you that it was the most positive exercise experience of my life. All because of Maeve and the wonderful group of Queens shes brought together. I can make two lives a week (the rest were on demand) and they're my favourite classes because of the support and banter in the chat. I only really started participating in the chat in the last few weeks because I was a bit shy but even seeing you all sending out words of support and positivity pumped me up. You're all so inspiring. As an added bonus, I feel like I've gotten so strong. I've been pretty active the last few years but issues with my back held me back from time to time. Not with QDQ. Maeve's begginer and intermediate moves allowed me to modify the routines on the days I wasn't as agile and really kept me going.
So Queens, I didn't set any goals for this challenge. I was happy with doing the 3+ classes a week and, even though I took photos about a month in, I wasn't going to take any after because I was so happy with how I was feeling. But I decided feck it, it would be good to have a set of photos before the next challenge (because I do have some goals for that) and I'm really glad I did. I didn't hate how I looked before but I'm loving the way I look now. Strong and toned💪 And my confidence has grown, both in my ability and in my body. Its amazing what a few diet modifications and routine exercise can do!
So thank you @Maeve Madden and thank you Queens. I can't tell you what a boost this community has been to me❤️ can't wait for the next challenge🙌
