This week for our ’Fashionably Fit’ series, Style to Envy chatted with ‘Lucky Gemma’, a young law student and Instagram fitness inspiration and star! We stumbled upon this fitness gal one day on Instagram in her #absbeforebed series, started to follow and decided why not reach out to her for a little Q&A.
Q: How do you stay active on a constant basis?
A: My physical activities primarily consist of running. I love running and exploring the outdoor – with good music on my iPod and beautiful scenery, I could run forever! I also keep my muscles toned by lifting weights in the gym and doing at home exercises like #absbeforebed and #myglutesrock.
Q: Who or what has been your greatest fitness influence?
A: I am influenced by my ambition to grow in fitness as I grow in age – 30, 40, 50 years from now I want to look good, feel good, and be in good health.
Q: What is the exercise you ‘love to hate’ the most? It works you but you HATE every second of it!
A: I love exercising because there is always a reward at the end, abdominal exercises are the most difficult but I remind myself that the real work starts when I want to stop – giving up because is not an option.
Q: How would you describe your personal style?
A: Classy, conservative, and evolving.
Q: Who or what has been your greatest fashion influence?
A: I’m influenced by the city and my surrounding on a daily basis. But growing up in Los Angeles, CA has had a big influence on my overall style.
Q: At the gym, are you fashionable or non-fashionable in your fitness attire?
A: I have a months’ worth of gym clothes and I wear what’s on top of the stack that morning – not sure if it fits everyone’s definition of fashionable but I feel good in what I’m wearing. I often wear clothes that cover my entire body so when I am using a public exercise machine my skin is not exposed to the machine and loose fitted clothing so I am comfortable.
Q: What’s your eating/diet habits (paleo, eat clean, cheat day)?
A: My eating directly correlates to my lifestyle – making the best choices to enhance my future. I am not on a diet or specific constructed eating plan and to accommodate my schedule I cook a large portion of food on the weekend and store it for the week for grab and go healthy choices. I always post my weekly meals on my Instagram page with recipes and nutritional information.
Q: Favorite food treat (clean eating) and naughty splurge:
A: I enjoy eating garnet yams just about any way I prepare them.
Q: Biggest fitness accomplishment to date:
A: Waking up one day, deciding to lose 30 pounds, and actually doing it – anything is possible with the right mindset.
Q: Fill in the Blank: People would be surprised to know that ______
A: I named my Instagram after the late Amy Winehouse and my unborn baby.
With the right amount of focus, determination and mindset anything is possible. Gemma decided to commit to a lifestyle change and ensures success with proper nutrition. To get recipe ideas and exercise tips for your abs and glutes follow Gemma on Instagram and Twitter.

It truly is amazing what we can do when we put our minds to goals!
I agree, that’s pretty amazing. Amazing abs is on my 2013 goals this year. Hopefully in the next 6 months.
