Heroes
hmmm...... My Husband! A boss I once had at the age of 17 or 18 when I worked for AAA Insurance in Grand Rapids, MI, but I can't remember her name (shoot!) My Mom, my Dad... for sure! From a far I'm in awe of the many people who have overcome personal trauma to do for others. I inspired by Oprah for her stance on child predators and her generousity, confidence and humility. I aspire to be like those who give of themselves, not for recognition, but out of a sincere concern to do what is right. Other heros are those who come forward and do the right thing when it's most difficult, most painful and most scary. Heros are those people who adopt children from abused homes. Heros are those who do what's best for their children, despite what their own desires. Heros are those who go out of their way to make a strangers day or stop and get involved when they see a crime happening. My heroes are nurses, firefighters, devoted parents and teachers!

About me:
Chalene Johnson grew up in Michigan, where she began taking dance at the age of 3. Her passion for movement, music, and dance was influenced by her mother, a Jazzercise instructor, who let Chalene and her sister Jenelle switch the records between sessions. Chalene enjoyed taking tae kwon do, dance, and aerobics at Michigan State where she majored in Justice, Morality and Constitutional Democracy before moving to California in the early '90s. It was there that she created a group exercise class that combined the sexiness of dance and the hip feel of funk with the power and strength of kickboxing all set to music guaranteed to inspire and motivate participants.
Frusterated with her own lack of results, she created this workout specifically to tackle her own trouble areas...the core and to deliver quick results in a workout that would feel like a party.
A self-proclaimed music junkie and closet DJ, Chalene taught herself to digitally remaster and edit music so she could match her choreographed moves to songs and sound effects that would force people to jump up, dance, and kick it into high gear. Her classes proved so popular that a nationwide demand for videos soon followed. Chalene and her husband operate a company that now certifies fitness enthusiasts and Turbo fans to teach her format. To date over 50,000 instructors have trained with Chalene's company and are now helping hundreds of thousands of others to get in shape and have fun doing it!
Chaene is a sought after motivational speaker who lights a spark in people to achieve their goals, become a better spouse, friend, co-worker and humanitarian. Despite her devotion to her career, she is quick to turn down opportunities and move professional engagements to ensure she is present for her children.
In 1995 Chalene began experimenting with a class she called "Turbo" or "Turbo Kick" To learn more visit http://www.turbokick.com. A fusion style format with kickboxing, dance, hip-hop, and athletic drills. The class was designed to target the abs while delivering an intense cardio workout. By 1997, word was spreading in small pockets across the country and Chalene began teaching other instructors how to deliver her unique brand of fitness.
A happily married mother of two, Chalene has appeared in over 80 exercise videos and continues to contribute her knowledge and expertise to leading health and fitness publications. In 2006, 2007 and 2008 Chalene was voted one of three finalists in the World by IDEA and Fitness as Instructor of the Year and was selected as their Inspirational Speaker for the IDEA Fusion 2007 convention. Chalene appears on t.v. as a regular fitness expert on such programs as QVC, E!, the OC Body and FOX11 and Better Bodies.
In 2005 Chalene brought her program Turbo Jam to the consumer market. With over 4.5 million new customers experiencing Turbo Jam, the news of this exciting and effective workout continue to spread. In 2008 she brings ChaLEAN Extreme, a strength training program guaranteed to turn the at home fitness industry on it's ear!
Chalene is also an talented hip hop choreographer and is responsible for creating countless hip hop workouts like Hip Hop Hustle, also available at www.turbokick.com
Someone who believes that fitness should be fun, that people are happier when they're healthier and life should be filled with laughter, Chalene's newsletters, pubilications, videos and motivational lectures help people put their dreams into motion.
