Episode One: Emily Abbate

They stay start with what you know, right? Well, episode one is about me—Emily, the voice behind Hurdle—sharing my story. Most days, I break a sweat and conquered a workout before 8 a.m. I'm a big fitness fan, a certified trainer, run and Spin coach. But 10 years ago, I hated my body. Ten years ago, I felt stuck. Ten years ago—as a college freshman—I weighed 204 pounds. My #hurdlemoment had me braving the scale, staring obesity down, learning how to eat right, and developing a lifelong relationship with exercise (and myself).
