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.

At some point, every kid wants a lemonade stand. Some do it to pass the time, while others are looking for pocket change. Liz Scott’s daughter, Alexandra, wanted her lemonade stand to help cure cancer. She began selling lemonade at the age of 4, three years after being diagnosed with neuroblastoma. By the time she passed away at the age of 8, Alex had raised $1 million towards finding a cure.

Twelve years later, Liz is carrying on her daughter’s work as the co-executive director of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, which raises funds and awareness for childhood cancer research. That position keeps Liz busy — traveling the country, talking to students, researchers, businesses, and others about ways to get involved. She’s also instrumental in planning many of the organization’s key events, such as Alex’s Lemonade Days and Alex’s Million Mile.

Warrior Fit Testimonials

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.
