5 Favorite exercises that are a must in your workout routine.
Ashley Harkleroad:
My top 5 favorites to keep it simple is- Lunges! Front lunges for legs and butt. Side lunges for inner and outer legs. 100 situps a day. Pushups to work the arms, and I am a big believer of jumping rope. Rope jumping is so old school but you can burn SO many calories in a short amount of time and you don’t need a gym to do it. Order a rope on Amazon and find an even level place to jump and you’ll be hooked!

What does Women Fitness mean to you? Why health needs to be a priority?
Ashley Harkleroad:
Women Fitness means women can come together to celebrate each individual female body. We all have our insecurities but coming together as females and sharing tips and tricks that not only help us for benefit the female mind and body is a very inspiring yet comforting place. Our society right now is all about Female Power and women supporting women and Women Fitness embodies everything about that for me.
Namita Nayyar:
Biggest challenges you faced after retiring from the sport? Presently what sports are you engaged in?
Ashley Harkleroad:
My biggest challenge after retiring was the transition to “normal life” and waking up in the morning and realizing its time to make new priorities and what are those new priorities going to be on a daily bases. Waking up and realizing I don’t have to tie up my tennis shoes and hit the ball, I can enjoy other things and what are those “other” things I enjoy. Just realizing who I am without tennis involved was definitely a challenge I wasn’t necessarily expecting and it took time to make that transition. It took to make a new life with new friends who had no idea what my life was before my new normal.

How do you wish to give back to the society & your supporters?
Ashley Harkleroad:
I love to give back through fundraising whether is be for my kids school or volunteering for the special Olympics or just through giving advice or health, fitness and beauty tips. I’m in the process of starting my own blog which I’ll be talking about everything involving health, mommyhood, workouts, beauty products, fashion etc. Giving back does the body good!
