Meet Jennifer from Austria, another BuffMother! Success Story!

      Jennifer ~ 2004 /  Jennifer ~ Nov 2005

Jennifer is an interesting, delightful, treat of a friend and big leader in TEAM BuffMother!.  Her e-mails are always full of exciting new ideas for workouts, positive encouragement and fun stories of life abroad.

She is unlike any woman I have ever met!  She is a strong outgoing adventurous California girl who had a career as a firefighter and was a competitive kick boxer for 15 years.  Now she is enjoying a “retirement” of sorts in the Austrian Alps as Stay-at-Home Mom of 2 beautiful children and wife to her Austrian hunk.

Oh and By the way this is her Dad’s site…Cool Stuff!

A little more about Jennifer:

Where did you grow up? I grew up in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, San Francisco.

What type of work background do you have?  LOTS! 100 years ago, I was a model.  I even went to the Miss California pageant, and I was Miss Miller Lite Beer.  I was a camera person for a news station in Sacramento, CA.  I covered sports. I worked in an animal hospital (one of my favorites).  A Firefighter/ EMT.  And I have taught thousands of fitness class.  Now I have the best job of them all…mom!

When did you first decide to get BUFF?  I have always been active.  I took some time off to have a family and decided to get back in BUFF shape in September of 2005.

Do you workout at home or the gym or both?  I MOSTLY workout at home.  I live in a very rural village in Austria and the closest gym in 30 minutes away.  Just living here is a workout!

Are you married, if so for how long? Forever! 

Do you think you may have any more children? Never say never, but I think any more children will be of the animal persuasion.

Do you have a workout partner?  Sporadically friends will work out with me.

How would you describe your personality?  I just asked my husband and the first thing he said was “flamboyant.”  Of course I don’t see it that way.  I would say spontaneous, colorful, stubborn, passionate, and a little shy.  In one word, a goofball.

What are your hobbies/interests? Of course I love to workout.  I also love drawing (Dad’s an artist), reading, music, hanging out with friends, cooking/baking, eating, making videos, photography, hiking,  expanding my vocabulary, laughing, and traveling.

Favorite music:   I will have to say unequivocally R&B.

Favorite Nutritional Supplements, why: I don’t have a favorite.  I don’t like to take anything; it is a chore for me to get a multi-vitamin down. 

Favorite Interval/Cardio Work out, why:   I love sprints.  I love anything outside.  I loathe cardio machines, but I will use them.

Favorite Exercise, why:  I love anything plyometric.  I am an ex-gymnast and I need to get air!
