Hi! I’m Rachel – welcome to my site!

After deciding to get in shape and make fitness a priority in my life, I’ve had a number of people comment…

And then they wait as if I’m going to reveal some crazy diet (like – all you have to do is eat strawberries for three days!) or some kind of magic exercise (like – two squats and three sit-ups each night before bed is all it takes!).

But, the truth is – there is no crazy diet or magic exercise. I have to answer that “what I’m doing” is…

And… I LOVE it!

Challenges Accepted

I’m constantly on the look out for challenges. I like doing challenging work, I like playing challenging games and I like to be in situations that challenge the status quo.

The same holds true for my workouts.

If it’s easy – I don’t want to do it.

What’s the point in doing something easy? I want something challenging that will be worth my time and produce results.

Results Expected

And I do expect results!

I’m competitive – I HAVE to win.

So, I choose exercises and healthy habits that lead to results. Here at PrettyHardWork.com – I share them with you!
