CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?
I started cheer 3 years ago and immediately fell in love.
But….I struggle daily with not being naturally flexible and having to deal with motivation issues. I literally had to work my butt off every day to get where I’m at now, and well, I am not your average cheerleader. I have Alopecia Areata which is an autoimmune disease that causes my body to attack my hair, causing hair loss.
I always thought being a cheerleader meant it was a requirement to be extremely flexible and to have these gorgeous hair styles during competitions – so I thought well “I’m not super flexible and I don’t have Rapunzel’s hair – I’ll just give up.” I gave up…until I found cheerFIT!
Seeing all these cheerleaders trying to motivate others like me just made me smile and want to try again.
I learned that I might not ever be super flexible, and I might not ever have Rapunzel’s hair, but as long as I try and that I am happy – that’s all that matters! –cheerFIT Ambassador Skyler Neiter
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE?
“Don’t let the fear of falling keep you from flying.”
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT BEING A CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR?
Not only has being a cheerFIT Ambassador helped me with my fitness, but it’s something I can do with my family and friends. I help motivate others to get up and exercise, even if it means they just go for a walk. I know I don’t do all the exercises perfectly, but as long as I am trying, that’s all that matters.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SONG TO JAM OUT TO DURING A SWEAT SESH?
Anything Metallica. . .that’s my favorite band!
Thank you Skyler for sharing your story! You are a true motivation and inspiration to us all! I hope you enjoyed this week’s CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR HIGHLIGHT– stay tuned for next week’s #cheerFITstrong rockstar!
Stay FIT <3,
Danielle
