Hello, My name is Karenia Bowman. I am a trained chef, certified personal trainer, certified yoga instructor and creator of Fit And Flexible Living. I’m extremely passionate about providing balanced solutions for healthier living. Fit And Flexible Living isn’t a diet. It’s a way of life. I believe in balanced solutions that you can easily incorporate into your own personal lifestyle practice.
When I was younger, I had access to every processed, trans fat, sugar laden treat without limit. Unfortunately, there was no focus on forming healthy eating habits. Every year I gained weight…rapidly. When I finally hit the 250 pound mark, I knew I needed to make a change. Deep down, I desperately wanted to live a healthier and happier life. I invested in a membership at a local gym. I started experimenting with healthier alternatives in the kitchen. I discovered how to incorporate balanced solutions for healthier living and weight management in ways that I actually found enjoyable. Little did I know, I was laying the foundation for Fit And Flexible Living. I established lifestyle habits I truly enjoyed, while shedding over 100 pounds in the process.
Then in 2018, I found out I was expecting(and was beyond thrilled). I adjusted my lifestyle habits to support and accommodate my pregnancy. When my son arrived (earlier than we expected), my life changed. My usual daily workouts were replaced by daily, nightly, and overnight visits to the NICU. I definitely believe in miracles, and that entire experience changed me and how I approach my life for the better.
Becoming the best version of yourself is the best gift you can give to you and your loved ones (Girl, I totally get it…in most cases we are last on our own priority list). When I wasn’t feeling my best, I referred back to the foundation of Fit And Flexible Living and made the necessary changes to rediscover my happy and sexy. It doesn’t matter where you are on your journey. Whether you have a significant amount of weight to lose, are prenatal/postpartum, or empty nesting and ready to live your best life…I am 100 percent dedicated to helping you achieve and maintain your health/lifestyle/weight management goals with confidence, finesse and ease.
