Why are Mondays so hard? And do they really have to be? We asked five successful women — an actress, an author, a chemist, a philanthropist, and a budding surgeon — to share their secrets on how they make the first day of the week just a little bit easier.

When you become a parent, there’s a lot of worrying and long hours, but your life doesn’t come to a screeching halt; you continue to have dreams. Single mom Danielle Ward is working hard to make those dreams a reality.

Danielle is a single parent, but also a third-year medical student with her sights set on surgery. She genuinely wants to help people — and not just her 9-year-old daughter, Tiana. She’s also inspiring people, spending some of her “free” time blogging about her journey on Aspiring Minority Doctor.

“I wasn’t able to find any accounts of people who shared the same experiences as myself,” she says about the blog. “I wanted to not only inspire and encourage people to go for their dreams, but also have a personal account of my journey to look back on. Most importantly, I wanted to highlight the minority women in medicine who have paved the way for individuals such as myself.”

Be Nice and Share!

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
