Show Notes
Wendy has always had an all-or-nothing approach to fitness - she’s either walking marathons or completely inactive. After turning 50 in 2017, Wendy decided to finally go all-in and commit to having a healthier lifestyle.
In this episode with Joe Wicks, Wendy unpacks how she first started her fitness journey by signing up for 100km walks, why she felt she lost herself and reveals how a failed attempt at the Three Peaks challenge made her realise she had to change her diet…
Plus, Wendy and Joe discuss her incredible 20kg weight-loss and Wendy’s plans to continue doing 100km walks for as long as she can!
