NTC Superuser Spotlight: Sydney McFarland 阅读原文» When a member of our Nike Women community logs at least 3,000 minutes on the
NTC app we call them an NTC Superuser. This has us wondering, "What do we deem someone who has more than tripled that amount?" Since downloading the app a little over a year ago, 22-year-old Sydney McFarland of Allen, Texas has practiced NTC drills almost daily and has logged nearly 10,000 minutes. Of course we are beyond impressed, so we caught up with this MEGA-User to learn about her workout routine and find out how she stays motivated. Here's what she had to say:
What's your current workout schedule with the app? My current work out schedule is EVERY DAY. On days I don't have to be somewhere in the morning, I get up and do a quick 15-45 minute workout to get my day started. Then in the afternoon I always do a Get Strong with a Get Lean drill, or a Get Toned with a Get Lean. Sometimes I add in a Get Focused or bonus drill if I still have the energy.
What are your favorite NTC workouts? I have so many. If I had to choose a favorite work out from each, my Get Lean pick would be "Up the Pace" or "Razor Sharp." Get Toned would be "Competitor" or any of the 30 minutes in "Beginner." Get Strong would be "Drill Sergeant" and "Challenger" or "Energy Transfer." My favorite bonus workouts are Laura Enever's and Hope Solo's.
What motivates you to workout with NTC? Life. I used to never work out and ate whatever I wanted and I ended up paying for it. Finding a workout system that I truly enjoy doing has changed my life completely. NTC is not only effective, it's fun. I love how it's like having a personal trainer there with you pushing you to be your best. It's an awesome way of staying fit anywhere, any time, and I am so thankful to Nike for putting it together.
Tell us about a defining moment you had as a result of the NTC app. When I first realized I was up to 10 lb. weights, after starting with only 5. Also being able to do a real push up and continuing to be able to do them. Realizing how much stronger my body had become was a moment I will never forget.
Who is your favorite Nike athlete? It has to be Hope Solo because she is a beast. She doesn't let anyone get to her and she always trains her absolute hardest. I saw a tweet of hers the other day saying, "No, I'm not retiring! People are crazy!" and it made me laugh. Not only is she, herself, inspiring, but her tweets are as well. She's always talking about good things and I just love her for all that she accomplishes.
What's your favorite piece of Nike training apparel? Almost everything I wear is Nike. My favorite thing right now is the
Nike Racer Tank Top. Those babies are going to be what I wear every day this summer. I just bought five of them!
What's your favorite pre-workout snack? A banana. I'm usually wanting some sort of snack before I work out and a banana is always the handiest and healthiest thing to get my hands on, plus I love them.
What's the best advice you've ever received, and what advice would you give others as a result of your NTC experience? Marie Purvis has given me tons of advice as far as fitness and eating healthy goes. She even took the time to send me a clean eating daily menu, which was very helpful for me because eating is my biggest problem as far as fitness goes.
A lot of girls ask me about NTC and I praise it to them, but they don't stick with it. Then I remind them that they have to dedicate themselves and want it bad enough to get results. It's not just something you can do every now and then and see changes. I'm always trying to help my friends out and tell them to stay away from junk food, especially fast food, and to treat their bodies right because it's all we've got.
In one word, how would describe your overall NTC experience? One word? EXTRAORDINARY! But there is so much more that can be said.
