Debra Strougo Frohlich, Cofounder, CEO and coach
“I can’t live without my eyeliner and mascara. Even if nothing else goes on my face, those are two great pick-me-ups! I learned to use waterproof mascara as soon as I began teaching fitness so I could sweat right through it. I also always have my eye makeup remover pads handy. I like to feel refreshed as soon as I’m either done teaching or heading home.”

“Debra and I frequently eat small protein-rich meals and drink lots of water. That keeps us both feeling nourished and hydrated throughout the day. When you teach fitness, run a business and have two children—with the third on the way—there is no time for dips in energy!”
