Started working out with Schellea (Fabulous 50’s) in March. My weight was 174. After working hard and eating right I’m now at 159!! I’m SO happy! Thanks Fabulous 50!

Today I am ready to show how well I have done since I started with Fabulous 50’s. I found Schellea in August 2020 and weighed in at 167 lbs and size XL or size 16. I had shingles at the beginning and struggle like crazy with my Fibromyalgia. However, now I am 139 lbs and a size 9. I love my new body however I am not done. I am toning and keeping my shape by exercising every day. Here is a couple of pictures, before and after.

"Clothes fit better, lost a little weight and I smile more."
Just finished the 14-day challenge and my body has changed so much. Clothes fit better, lost a little weight and I smile more. “We don’t have to be athletes anymore.” Brilliant Sentiment.

"I feel energized, engaged, and empowered"
I hate core exercises; most are super intense and hard to keep up with. I was surprised I even played this. But wow! I feel energized, engaged, and empowered. These were the perfect core sets. I was even sad when it was over; I wanted more. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

"Thank you so much for making me feel happy when I exercise with you! "
Dear Schellea, I have no words to tell you how thankful I am for your training videos and for this one as well. You are my hero! Thank you so much for making me feel happy when I exercise with you! I forget everything when I exercise with you—all the miserable things that are happening now in my country. I just feel happy, so so happy, like in your song. I am 61 and discovered you 1.5 years ago. Since that time my best time is when I turn on your videos. It helped me through the depressive Corona period not to get totally crazy, it helps me now through the war. You are amazing! I like so much your female art to present yourself. When I see you, I want to be better, kinder, and more open to the world. Tell your sons that they have a wonderful mom if they forget it sometimes!!!

"I couldn't wipe the smile off my face the whole time In that 2 years"
Hey Schellea you fab unicorn of a woman! I’ve been doing your workouts for over 2 years now as part of an overall health plan my GP gave me. This walking workout is one of the best yet! Loving the energy, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face the whole time In that 2 years (I’m now 55) my body and mind have transformed, I went on to lose 22kg and my strength is back big time! Your workouts and gentle but firm advice also helped save me from a close call with hypertension. I love how you say in this vid that “You know what future you looks like because you’re making it happen now” (or words to that effect). It’s so true! No need to suffer like my mum and aunties did. It’s so powerful challenging the old adages of menopause. Thank you from the bottom of my strong and healthy.

"My own dog wants to get into the tv and play with your dog"
I am 68 years old. My friend came across your video and told me for a joke that this was for me. She couldn’t exercise due to health issues. I hadn’t moved much in the past 7 years due to illness and pain. I decided one day to look you up and I committed myself to do it as I find them uplifting and full of great tips. I know I have a long ways to go yet. I am seeing some results in just 4 months. My hips are no longer seized up and I can lift my arms right up to the sky. You make it so much fun to do. Love the dog in this one too. My own dog wants to get into the tv and play with your dog. I recently went to a sports injury chiropractor and he said, I am doing things right getting myself back into moving my body more. I started out at three days a week and now doing 4 to 5 days. Thank you for these videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and techniques with the world. I’m sure there are many people benefitting from these. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Have an awesome 2023.

"I'm 54 and have given up on myself."
Hi Schellea, I had a complete hysterectomy a few years ago and have arthritis in my knee and elbow and my body aches everyday and find it hard to sleep, I’m 54 and have given up on myself. However, you then popped into my life on social media and already I’ve noticed the difference. I sweat but smile, I am in pain but do what I can and each day is getting easier. You are so bubbly and you are an angel sent to me from heaven. Thank you so much. Love and lots of sweat from Ireland.”

"I love your positive attitude and how fast the workouts go."
I found your channel a couple of months ago when it was too miserable to walk outside. I love it. I had a pituitary tumor 6 years ago and as a result, I have to take steroids forever. I gained over 100 pounds after that. The last 2 years I’ve been trying to take it off. I do intermittent fasting and then starting walking about 45 minutes a day. I had been losing but not as much as I hoped. Doing your workouts for 2 Months, I’ve lost about 3 inches around my waist and gotten rid of so much belly fat. I love your positive attitude and how fast the workouts seem to go. You are the best!

Hi Schellea! I am so excited to be part of the Fabulous 50. In my case, fabulous 60. I want to thank you for those exercise videos! For the first time in 40 years of marriage, my husband is enjoying me with your exercise! He is not an exercise person, and I am very grateful to you! Finally, he is moving his body! I suffer from very bad sciatica pain, and those exercises are helping! We love the way you count the minutes! Thanks again! With gratitude,

"I love love love your workouts!!"
I love love love your workouts !! So glad I found you. You are the best instructor I have ever worked out with. I am 55 and have been up and down the past 10 years of my life with exercise and trying to find the right level to work out and the times frame to do it in. As a mom and I work as well it’s always hard to find balance for it all and as I have aged it has been even harder but I have found your videos to be very effective and easy to follow and you have the best motivational voice and say the most inspiring things to keep people going !! 10 stars I give you.

You are helping me so much! I am 68 years old and want to strengthen myself all over. I love all your 10 min segments!! I’m not good at exercising, but I tell myself…only 10 minutes… then I usually do 10 more. I have just started. I am 5’4″ and 130 lbs.

"I found you at a low time in my life!..."
Schellea, I found you at a low time in my life! I’m 54 and I had kind of just given up on myself. Then I ran across you on YouTube and thought, Why not try it? It made me feel so good to do something for myself and know I can do these exercises; they’re not too hard due to my bad back. I started eating healthy and I’m down almost 20 lbs! And I feel so much better! THANK YOU! And thank you for cheering us along!

"I love the optimism you radiate."
Dear Schellea, another big greeting from Belgrade (Serbia). I love your exercises, and I love the optimism you radiate. Your voice is extremely suggestive and I believe that every woman who exercises with you feels your sincerity. Your exercises give results, but what means the most to me, much more than just physical appearance, is the strength of my body and what it can do in these best years. Thanks for that!

"I truly and sincerely love you, as a lifetime friend."
Dear Schellea, I am so happy you are back with a new workout. I made it first thing today, it got me sweated, and happy and 10/10. Started your workouts two years ago at 50, after half life of no sports at all. You got me in love with workouts, never been so much in shape and energized and able to navigate really bad moments of life coming out of them stronger and happier. I truly and sincerely love you, as a lifetime friend. God bless you.

"Challenging, but do-able"
Wowee, Schellea!! I can hardly see, my glasses are fogged from this workout. Challenging, but do-able. I truly appreciate your efforts in creating these videos and sharing them with everyone. I know I have benefitted greatly from your generosity. I did your workouts throughout the hard part of the pandemic and am still doing them because they are the best. You are wonderful. Thank you so much. A cup of tea is coming your way.

"you've really changed my life and my outlook!"
Home Run! Touchdown! Score! Schellea, You beautiful person, you did it again. This one ranks up with the one you did with Andressa. I especially love the “double down” you do in this one makes me think about doing it twice, which makes my brain happy and I’m also more conscious of the body movement with “double taps”. As you’ve heard from so many – you’ve really changed my life and my outlook! (not to mention my 57y ear old, now fit body!) 
Enjoy that Puppy and the Farm!
