Walker of the Month December 2019

Jillian Danielson is our walker for December!! She is 42 years young, went to high school with her husband Jimmy, and they have been married for 19 years. Jillian moved to Lake Havasu when she was 10 from Laurens, Iowa. She went to school here and is raising her 2 beautiful daughters here. Jillian owns RiverScene Magazine. Visit RiverSceneMagazine.com for events and information on Havasu!! It’s an awesome magazine!!

Jillian started working out at Titan Gym to get in shape for her kids, hubby and most important herself!! She says she can’t be the best wife/mom if she’s not physically and mentally strong and healthy. She works out 2-4 times a week at Titan, where she trains with Dan, and does Zumba with Rachel on Monday & Wednesday evenings. She says her work schedule does not make it easy, but she has committed to make the time. (Jillian is very dedicated to her health and fitness and I am so proud of her!!)

Jillian says she has had a lot of lower back issues, and exercise has helped her work out those muscles, as well as her core muscles. Exercise has made a world of difference!

Jillian feels that we women are worth it! At 42 years of age, she is finally putting herself first, in order to be the best she can be for herself, and everyone else. Her journey started in February of this year and she has since lost 21” and 22 lbs!! Awesome job!! She is feeling better, eating better and says it’s so worth it!! Let’s take Jillian’s advice and put our health and fitness first so we can be our best and “Get On Our Feet!!”
