2024 WELLBEING WARRIOR WINNERS
SEPTEMBER 2024 WELLBEING WARRIOR
ANNA MECHLING
Anna Mechling has made incredible strides throughout her wellbeing journey, driven by the motivation to eat healthier, exercise more, and live a lifestyle that makes her feel like the best version of herself.
Anna's fitness journey began in 2021, and she has since made remarkable progress while continually setting and achieving new goals. Recently, she’s shifted her focus from lifting heavier weights to perfecting her form on key lifts like the deadlift, squat, and bench press—and it’s paying off. Her lifting progress includes impressive targets:
-
Deadlift: She’s aiming for 135 pounds (a plate on each side), currently lifting 130 pounds.
-
Bench press: Her target is 85 pounds, after adjusting to 75 pounds to focus on form.
-
Squat: She’s working towards squatting 135 pounds, currently squatting 120 pounds.
Beyond the gym, she’s committed to healthier eating, cooking more meals at home with her boyfriend to control ingredients and save money. They enjoy dishes like homemade Chipotle bowls, Vietnamese pho, and a healthier chicken alfredo. Hydration has also become key, with increased water intake leading to clearer skin and fewer breakouts. She’s also made daily movement a priority, taking 30 to 45-minute walks after dinner, helping with digestion and boosting her energy, while enjoying the neighborhood scenery and cats.
Looking ahead, she’s setting future goals to join her friends in local D.C. runs. While she’s not a runner yet, her aim is to participate at her own pace, starting with a swift walk and working her way up to running one day.
Through her dedication to perfecting her form in the gym, making healthier choices in the kitchen, and embracing a balanced lifestyle, this Wellbeing Warrior is on a mission to feel her best—and inspire others to do the same. By consistently working towards progress, she’s proving that small, mindful actions can have a powerful impact on overall wellbeing.
Congratulations Anna on your hard work, dedication, and accomplishments!
