The time commitment was short, but Streifeneder quickly discovered that the smartly designed mini routines were made to deliver results. "They hit everything. Your arms, your legs, your belly—and I didn't have to go to the gym. I could turn on a Fit in 10 workout in the 10-minute window I have between clients—it was great."
It was also a challenge. "Even though I'd gained weight, I still considered myself to be a pretty strong and active person, but the first time I did a routine, I thought, 'Oh my God, I'm not going to be able to do this! But I quickly built up my strength and it was cool to see that progress. Each day I was able to hold a plank a little longer or get through a few more reps without taking a break. It was fun, especially once I got my sister to do it with me." If she missed a day, she'd do two routines the following day to make up the time.
In only 8 weeks, Streifeneder lost an incredible 19.4 pounds and can't seem to stop smiling. "I was amazed at how quickly the weight came off," she says. "There was a red dress hanging in the back of my closet I hadn't been able to get into, and now it zips. I'm even fitting back into my jeans from high school."

Ask her how she feels now, and Streifeneder's emotion bubbles up. "I'm just so...happy," she says, unable to hold back tears. "This program gave me a new start, and I'm never going back to the old me. I keep writing '#I'm back' on all of my Instagram photos—because I am."
