Hiit Mama Carissa
“Just want to thank you for featuring me (on Instagram) and for all the workouts you post to really get us moms back in
shape. I’m 33 years old and have 3 girls ages 6, 3, and 1.  I have always been active.  I was a sprinter at the national level in college, a former coach for a high school boys track team, and currently a personal trainer for people with special needs. After the birth of my second daughter I became a stay at home mom. I participate in races ranging from mud runs, to ultra trail marathons.  My next goal is an Olympic level triathlon. Keep up the great work at Hiit Mamas!!!! Thanks again.” -Carissa

Carissa- I think I need to meet you! My name is Carissa and we have a lot in common! I too have 3 girls…and 1 boy. 7,5,3, and my baby turns 1 in February. I am 32 and from the pictures posted I think we kind of look alike. In college I was a distance runner at the national level. And my major was recreation therapy and fitness management. So if I wasn't a stay at home mom I would be helping people with disabilities fulfill their recreation or fitness goals. I'm going to go check out your site…
